Jeffrey Gremer Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 5, 2024.
It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the news of Jeff's passing. On September 27, 2024, Jeff died at home, in the arms of his loving wife of 33 years, Christy. To know Jeff was to love him and he never met a stranger. His warm laughter, gentle soul and radiant smile were his trademarks. His Blue eyes shined bright with the most infectious joy, and Jeff offered an open invitation to share his love of life, his love of family and boundless friendships.

He loved those days as a kid, and then a young man, growing up in the beauty of coastal, Southern California. He divided his time between friends, the beach and learning the ins and outs of engines of all sizes. That hobby led to a career in auto mechanics and there was nothing he couldn't fix. In 1987, he met his soul mate, Christy, while still in their teens and they had an amazing and enviable life together. They welcomed daughter Ashley in 1991, and set out to start a new life, in Fort Collins, Co. Together, they raised her with love and dedication and watched joyously as she blossomed into an intelligent, independent person and later, a wife and mom, with a career in insurance and a son of her own. Jeff and Christy were also very notable, loving parents to their dogs Chase, Casey, Tucker and Slipper Williams. All of whom, aside from Slipper, passed on before Jeff himself. Jeff enjoyed his boats, Jet ski, off road vehicles, antiques, and entertaining friends. In 2015, Jeff retired from his career as a service writer for Pederson Volvo and in 2016, he and Christy bought a new home and embarked on the next stage of their lives, in Statesboro, Ga.

Jeff was preceded in death by his beloved grandmother Beverly, mother-in-law, Sue, his mother Diana, father-in-law Jon, grandmother Grace, grandfather Charles and his beloved pets. 3 Golden Retrievers, Chase, Casey, Tucker, and Jasper & Brewster their cats.

Surviving family members

He leaves behind his wife Christy, their dog Slipper, his daughter Ashley, grandson Lawson, his father Dave, his brother David, his sisters Andrea and Amber, cousin Ryan, sister-in-law Ricci, his aunts Deborah Braddock and Deborah Ketchum and Uncle Dennis

Jeff's ashes will be spread over the water in Santa Barbara, and a celebration of life will be held at Brophy's Brothers restaurant, at a future date to be announced.

I´ve written and deleted so many answers, but I realize that I can´t pin Jeff to just one moment or memory or lesson...Jeff always put others first. He always made sure that I was okay. He said it was because he promised my Mom when she died, that he´d take care of her girls, and I know he meant it. But I think he always looked after me because he loved me, and that´s just how he was. I´ve known Jeff since I was barely into my teens, I can´t picture many family moments without him, and I´m so grateful for that. I´m honored to have been his little sister, I´m honored to have had him in my life. I will miss him forever.
