Jeffrey Kenton Key of Wauwatosa, Wisconsin passed away suddenly on Sunday, August 31, 2025, at the young age of 42. He was born on November 23, 1982, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He leaves behind his precious mother Linda (nee Rein), loving wife Stephanie (nee Loder) Key and their precious fur baby "Stella."

He is preceded in death by his father Randy, sister Caitlin, cousin Craig and his grandparents Joan and Robert Key.

He also leaves his daughters Brianna and Jessica Key, nieces Hailey Key and Lexie Pursley, nephews Noah and Parker Pursley and Jayden Key. He will be sadly missed by his godparents, Jeannie and Pat Scharlau and his uncles Chuck and Bob Rein. In addition to those listed, he leaves behind his extended family Fran and Jo Ann Dent, father-in-law Richard Loder and brother-in-law Rick Loder, too many cousins to list and his work family, all his trucker buddies who were an important part of his day-to-day life.

"Keep on truckin…"
