Jeffrey R. Bala

Jeffrey Robert Bala, 40, passed away on February 1, 2023, at his home in Pottstown, PA. Born in Hackensack, NJ, on February 23, 1982, Jeff was the son of Wayne and Carole (Fuchs) Bala.
Jeff graduated from The Hill School in Pottstown, PA, in 2001. His love for The Hill School was deep and never-ending; he appreciated all it stood for and had much respect for all of his schoolmates and the staff. He furthered his education at Grand Canyon University, in Phoenix, AZ, and received his undergraduate degree in psychology in 2018. He then completed his studies towards his Master's Degree in Psychology, with a concentration in Mental Health and Substance Abuse Counseling. Jeff was also a member of Phi Theta Kappa. He was in the process of making arrangements to earn the counseling hours required to go into the field. Jeff was a tough and fierce competitor on the ice rink and football field, and that carried through to his current sales position with Comcast. Most of all, Jeff was incredibly loyal to his family and friends. He had an endless love for dogs, especially his own, Jax and Dexter. He will be deeply missed by all who had the opportunity to know him.
In addition to his parents, Jeff is lovingly remembered by his brother and sister-in-law, Chris and Katie Bala; his nephews, Joshua and Jackson; his niece, Gianna; his grandmother, Marie Fuchs; and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.
