Jeffrey Utz Obituary
He graduated from Pembroke High School and built a long-standing career as an Equipment Manager at Buffalo Crushed Stone in Williamsville. He served as Councilman for the Town of Alabama. Jeff had a true love for automobiles and restored many antique cars. He also enjoyed the outdoors and spending time with his pets. Above all, he held his family closest to his heart, serving as a pillar of strength and love.
Jeff is survived by his devoted wife, Jean Atwell Utz; his loving daughter, Julie (Louis) Colantonio; and son, Jared (Nicole) Utz. His legacy lives on through his cherished grandchildren, Natalie, Naomi, Joshua Utz, Cooper and Callie Colantonio. He also leaves behind his brother-in-law, Roy (Kim) Atwell, nieces Valerie (Scott) Gee, Katelin (Scot) Pickard; nephew, Zachary (Erica) Atwell; along with several great-nieces, great-nephews, and cousins.
