Jeffrey A. Hochradel, born on October 4, 1953, and lovingly remembered by all who knew him, passed away peacefully at his son’s residence on August 25, 2024. He leaves behind a legacy that is marked by love, dedication, and the remarkable impact he made during his time with us. Jeffrey pursued a fulfilling career in the airline industry, displaying a natural talent in design and layout that enriched his professional life. He poured his creativity and passion into his work, leaving a lasting impression on those who worked alongside him.
A devoted family man, Jeffrey took immense pride in his son, Joshua, and the bond they shared was a cornerstone of his life. Joshua, alongside his wife Tara, brought joy to Jeffrey's heart with their two beautiful daughters, Annora and Maisie. His grandchildren were a source of joy and delight, and he cherished every moment spent creating memories with them.
Jeffrey was also blessed with loving siblings, Theresa (Danny) Kalb and Marcia (Jim) Mastel, whose support was unwavering throughout their lives. He was a beloved uncle to several nieces and nephews, enriching their lives with his warmth and wisdom.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Donald and Eileen Fisher Hochradel, who undoubtedly instilled in him the values he carried throughout his life. The love and guidance from his family shaped him into a person who always put others first.
