Jeffrey Palmer

Jeffrey Val Palmer, beloved father, grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin and friend, passed away peacefully on May 14, 2025, in his hometown of South Jordan, Utah. Just two days following his 67th birthday.
Jeff was born on May 12, 1958, in South Jordan, where he grew up and built a life rooted in hard work, family, and faith. From a young age, he entered the cattle business, sparking a lifelong journey as an entrepreneur with a passion for building and creating his own path.
Jeff was a man of many loves-his family, the open outdoors, good music, and the thrill of bull riding in his younger years. He especially cherished quiet time at a secluded cabin, surrounded by nature and peace. Above all, he was a devoted family man who found his greatest joy in time spent with his children and grandchildren.
A God-fearing Christian, Jeff's faith was a guiding force throughout his life. He looked forward to Sundays at Courageous Church, worshiping alongside his family with gratitude and conviction.
Jeff is survived by his daughter, Wesley Palmer; his sons, George Palmer, J.D. (Sabrina) Palmer, and Riley Palmer; and his grandchildren: AJ, Elle, Adrian, Jonsie, Dre, Ryder, Paris, Olivia, and Chloe. He is also survived by his brothers, Ken (Rhonda) Palmer, Wayne (Christy) Palmer, Danny (Kalene) Palmer, Mont (Shauna) Palmer, Cory (Michelle) Palmer and his sisters Debra Palmer, Karen (Al) Witkamp, and Carla Palmer Arnold.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Val Gene Palmer and Lila Maynard Frandsen, his sister, Valerie Palmer Bills; and most recently his son, Matthew Palmer.
A funeral service will be held on Tuesday May 20, 2025, at Jenkins-Soffe Funeral Home in South Jordan at 1007 W. South Jordan Parkway at 1:00 p.m. with a viewing prior beginning at 11:30 a.m. Following the service Jeffrey will be laid to rest in the South Jordan City Cemetery, 10630 S. 1055 W.
