Jeffrey “Jeff” Charles Kinsey, age 53, of Mechanicsburg, died at The Woods at Cedar Run surrounded by his loving family on Sunday, May 26, 2024. Jeff was born on Sunday, July 15, 1970, in Rochester, NY to Joan Mary (Kinsley) Kinsey and the late Theodore “Ted” Paul Kinsey. 

Jeff’s survivors include his wife of 16 years, Lisa Joy (Nace) Kinsey; his two children: Conner Paul Kinsey, Kylie Marie Kinsey; his mother: Joan Mary (Kinsley) Kinsey, of Mechanicsburg; his two siblings: Steven P. Kinsey, of Gettysburg, Kimberly Martin and her husband, Lee, of Montana; his four nieces and nephews:   Kate Kocher, Rob “Robbie” Moretz, Dane Moretz, Kara Moretz; and his canine companions: Gracie and beloved Cosmo.

After graduating Johnstown high school in 1988, Jeff graduated from Messiah College.  He was employed for several years at the PA State System of Higher Education in IT services. He also had his own computer consulting business, Integrated Intelligence Solutions. Family was his number one priority, and he was often found cheering loudly from the sidelines at soccer, and baseball games. He was also a proud father in the audience at dance recitals.  One of his fondest moments was coaching his daughter’s soccer team and winning the league championship that year.  Jeff enjoyed playing golf and was a Dallas Cowboy football fan.  He attended monthly poker nights with friends for over 20 years.   Jeff was very musical and had a talent for playing the drums, piano and singing.  He loved gathering with friends to play the game Rock Band.  Jeff will be dearly missed by those who were fortunate enough to have known him.
