Jeffrey Mark Wallace Sr.

Jeffrey Mark Wallace, Sr., 61, of Beverly, passed away on Monday January 12th surrounded by his loving family.
Born on May 28th, 1964, in Boston, to the late Richard and Marianne (Iannetti) Wallace. He graduated from Revere High School with the Class of 1982. After high school, he went on to pursue a career in construction.
An enormous presence, Jeff left a permanent and lasting impression of laughter, kindness, and love on everyone he crossed paths with. He was the epitome of a family man. Nothing made him happier than spending time with his close friends and family; always offering words of encouragement, support, and celebration for even the smallest successes. Jeff was truly committed to finding as much happiness as possible in each day and sharing that with those around him through his goofball sense of humor, a thumbs up, or by pointing out the simple joys in life.
Jeff was deeply passionate about his favorite things; whether it was sipping a good cup of coffee, eating a delicious meal (he LOVED food), or jamming out to a soulful blues tune, just to name a few. He truly knew how to enjoy and appreciate life. Jeff could teach a master class on how to take it easy, not sweat the small stuff, and be present to the abundance each moment has to offer us. Everyone who had the blessing of being around him is better for having known him.
A lifelong Catholic, Jeff's belief in God and his strong faith and trust in Him served as a beacon of strength through the peaks and valleys of his life.
He is survived by his loving wife, Susan (Serino) Wallace, together for 45 years; daughter, Jessica Wallace; son, Jeffrey Mark Wallace, Jr. and his wife Elizabeth; brother Rick Wallace, his wife Kim, and their children Kelly and her fiancee Rachel, Steven and his wife Bee, and Jamie Kudlich and her husband John; sister Jennifer Wallace; father and mother-in-law Robert and Edna Serino; sister-in-law Marie Serino, her son David and his wife Anna; brother-in-law Robert Serino Jr., and his daughters Gina Hubbard and her husband Jay and Alicia Trent and her husband Nate. Jeff also leaves behind 4 great nephews.
In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his sister Cheryl Wallace, grandparents Victor and Joan Iannetti and Lilian and Charles Wallace
