Jeffrey grew up in Mukwonago WI and attended Mukwonago High School. He enjoyed playing the tuba in band, playing football (they called him Crazy Legs Kirchhoff) and baseball and was a boy scout. He played bass in a rock band during his teenage years and continued that well into his adult life. He would often be found playing gigs on the weekends.
He lived in Milwaukee for most of his adult life and was a hard worker. He was employed by Quad Graphics, spent many years as a parking garage supervisor for IM Park and the Summerfest grounds, and was an exceptional handyman serving his parents with his gift.
He moved to Hudson WI in 2020 to be closer to family. He had many great memories during this time including a Brewers game with his dad, canoe trip on the St. Croix River, tubing on Long Lake in Mercer, concerts in the park, church services, brat cookouts, Christmas' and birthday celebrations.
A special thanks to Kathy Thomas who befriended Jeffrey and took him on weekly outings when he couldn't do that for himself any longer.
Private family services will be held.
Memorials are preferred to Boy Scouts of America.
