Jeffrey Gallagher, known as Jeff, a loving husband, devoted father, and cherished brother, passed away on February 20, 2026, at the age of 41. Born on April 23, 1984, Jeff exemplified a life filled with kindness, humor, and selflessness. His career as a self-employed fence installer highlighted not only his handy skills but also his dedication to building strong foundations.
Jeff was known for his gentle disposition and his ability to connect with others, making friendships easily and deeply. He had a passion for the outdoors which was evident in his love for fishing, camping, and riding motorcycles. To him, these activities were not merely hobbies; they represented a way to appreciate nature and spend quality time with loved ones.
Jeff was the son of Clarence Gallagher and the late Debbie Gallagher. In addition to his father, he is survived by his loving wife, Shannon Gallagher, and his adoring daughter, Haylie Gallagher. His generous spirit extended to his stepchildren Cody Roddy, Brittany Holifield, and Dalton Roddy. Jeff took great pride in being a grandfather to his nine grandchildren, bringing joy and laughter into their lives. He is also survived by his brother, Richard Gallagher, his sister, Crystal Gallagher, and his nephews, Jonathan and Blaine Gallagher. The companionship of his beloved dogs, Bo and Coco, brought additional warmth to his home.
Jeff is remembered fondly by his family and friends, who will carry on his legacy of love, laughter, and generosity in their hearts. Today, as we remember Jeffrey Gallagher, we celebrate a life lived with purpose, joy, and an unwavering commitment to those he held dear.
