It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Michael Jeff, who left us on February 8, 2026, at the age of 89. Born on December 13, 1936, in England, Michael made his home in Florida, where he created a life filled with laughter, love, and adventure. There he made friends and loved helping in the Pine Ridge Community.

Michael was the ultimate family man, cherished by his beloved wife, Margaret Jeff; son, Robert Jeff (Aor); daughter, Catherine Jeff (Paul); step daughters, Lisa Venable (Jeff) and Lynne Tarlton (Kevin); grandchildren, Robert Michael Jeff and Miranda Walker; step grandchildren, Mitchell Cheek, Aleksandra Wallen, and Kristian Finneman; great granddaughter, Madalyn Walker; step great granddaughter, Vivan Wallen; numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins. He found joy in every moment spent with them, whether they were embarking on exciting cruises or simply enjoying the comforts of home-they were the center of his universe.

Michael was preceded in death by parents, Thomas Jeff and Effie Constance; sisters, Shirley Aspinall and Barbara Parson.

Known for his passion for sports, Michael was a dedicated fan of England soccer and a lover of NASCAR, often spending weekends cheering on his favorite teams. He also had a talent for diving into his family history, reveling in the tales and connections that bind us all together.

With an Associate's Degree and a successful career as a Vice President in the printing industry, Michael balanced his professional life with a deep commitment to family and fun-filled pursuits.

All services are private.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you consider honoring Michael's memory by spending quality time with your loved ones. He would have wanted nothing more than to see family bonds strengthened through love and joy.

Rest in peace, Michael. You will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
