Jeffrey A. “Jeff” Conger, 65, of Indianapolis, formerly of Shelbyville, passed away on Tuesday, May 13, 2025, at Community Health East in Indianapolis.
He was born July 17, 1959, in Shelbyville, the son of Richard Anthony “Tony” and Barbara (Timmons) Conger.
Jeff is survived by his children, Nolan Conger of Shelbyville, Jesica Conger and Eryn Conger, both of Bloomington; grandson, River Conger; siblings, Brad Conger, Kristi Amstutz, Greg Conger, Rhonda Jorgensen, Teresa Norris-Elmore, Tonya Norris-Gilson and Tracy Norris; and numerous nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents; and ex-wife, Natalie McNew.
Jeff graduated from Shelbyville High School in 1977.
He enjoyed listening to music, hanging out with his friends and watching sports.
Jeff was an avid listener of rock ‘n’ roll music. He loved to have a good time and listen to music with others. There wasn’t a rock ‘n’ roll show he hadn’t attended or a record he hadn’t spun. Music was his form of faith, and he often expressed his love through it.
No matter where Jeff lived, his house was the heart of the party and countless fond memories live on in the hearts of so many. He never knew a stranger and could make a fast friend anywhere he was.
Jeff could turn any day into a good time and was truly the life of the party. His enthusiasm for life, open-mindedness, and spirit of joy will always be remembered. Jeff’s soul lives on through any good rock ‘n’ roll song!
