Jeffrey Nicholas Sabuda, a cherished husband, father, and friend, passed away peacefully on November 24, 2025, at Corewell Hospital in Dearborn, Michigan. He was born on December 12, 1962, in Wyandotte, Michigan, to Walter and Boleslawa (Modzelewski) Sabuda, who preceded him in death.
Jeffrey was adored by all who knew him, earning the affectionate nickname "Mr. Fix It" for his remarkable ability to mend anything that came his way. His generous spirit and willingness to help others knew no bounds, as he loved everyone unconditionally.
He was the beloved husband of 38 years to Nancy (Poulos), with whom he shared a life filled with love and adventure. Jeffrey was incredibly proud of his family, including his sons, Christopher and Patrick Sabuda, and his daughter, Jacqueline Sabuda. He will forever be remembered by them for his warmth, support, and enthusiasm for life.
In addition to his family, Jeffrey brought joy to the life of his dog, Buddy, and was surrounded by many other loving family and friends who will deeply miss his presence.
His legacy is one of kindness, passion for hockey, and an undying commitment to his loved ones. Jeffrey’s memory will forever hold a special place in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know him.
In keeping with Jeffrey’s wishes there will be no services. Memorial contributions to honor his life may be made to any location of the Children’s Hospital of Michigan.
