Jeffrey McGowan, a beloved husband, father, and friend, passed away peacefully on August 14, 2024, at the age of 78. A proud Air Force veteran, Jeff enjoyed a distinguished 37-year career as a realtor, helping countless families find their dream homes. Jeff and his MaryAnn retired to The Villages in Florida where he was an active member of The Villages Dragon Boat Team and found joy in playing pickle ball and golf. His daily morning walks and passion for cars were also central to his life.
