Post, Jeffrey John

Jeffrey John Post, age 59, of Appleton, was called home to Christ on Tuesday, March 8, 2016. Jeffrey was born in Appleton on January 22, 1957 to Franklin and the late Carol (Stoffel) Post. He graduated at Appleton West High School with the class of 1975. He played the saxophone through high school and also enjoyed being a member of the Americanos, traveling with them as far as California. Like his mother, Jeff took great pride in cleaning, he worked for several cleaning companies through the years, and he enjoyed using his talents helping family and friends.

Jeff was a very caring person, always putting others and their happiness first before himself. He loved the outdoors, especially camping and spending time at the family cottage at White Lake. He was an excellent cook and loved to cook for others, even going as far as delivering his meals to friends and family. He enjoyed staying busy working, and had a great love for music. When his family went away from home, they could always depend on Jeff to take care of their pets, he had a great love for animals. Jeff adored all of his nieces and nephews who brought great joy to his life. If you did a favor or something nice for Jeff, he would always smile and tell you that "you were his favorite." Jeff had many favorites in the family! Jeff was very grateful to his grandmother Altha Acord who was his angel on earth and always looked out for him.

He will be deeply missed by his father, Franklin Post, Appleton; three sisters: Sharon (Jeremy) McNew, Ann Hetherington, and Laurie Bender, all of Appleton; three brothers: Jon (Julie) Post, Sherwood, Jim (Susan) Post, Appleton, and Eric (Chary) Post, Appleton, in addition, Allen's significant other Jean Grapengieser; his beloved nieces and nephews: Samuel, Peter, Calvin, Amy, Nicole, Stacey, Ashley, Ryan, Tyler, Megan, Katie, Kristen, Allen, Lindsey, Jack, Trai, and Britiny. He was further survived by numerous great nieces and nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins.

He was preceded in death by his mother, and a brother Allen.

The Post family would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the many people who enriched Jeff's life over the years.
