Jeffery Skaggs

The life of Jeffery Glenn Skaggs, born April 6th, 1961, was taken away in a tragic accident on Saturday, November 25th, 2023.

He is preceded in death by his father, Harold Glenn Skaggs, and survived by his mother Bertha, brothers Timothy (Renee) Skaggs and Michael (Tanya) Skaggs, his wife Cindy, sons Jonathan (Rebecca) Skaggs and Brian Skaggs (Megan Wilson) and their daughter, Audrey; daughter Karen Skaggs, bonus-daughter Brooke (Aaron) Dennis and their children, Wyatt, Lucy and Eli; bonus-son Brandon (Sarah) Banks and their children, Janta, Noah and Lola.

Jeffery served in the United States Army as a Ranger from 1984 to 1987 and was stationed in Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas. During his time in the military, he served in the Military Police and was given the rank of E5, Sergeant. He spent time in Honduras during his service and was honorably discharged.

Jeffery was a member of the Fayette County Church of Christ. He was also a volunteer firefighter at the Concord-Greene Fire Department where he was appointed the rank of Captain in 2016. During his time as a first responder, Jeffery was known to always be one of the first to arrive on scene and one of the first to help wherever he could in any situation. He also enjoyed reaching out to the community and loved presenting the Fire in The Sky 4th of July fireworks show for more than 20 years.

Jeff was a pillar of the community, but he was also very important to his family, and they to him. He was a loving son, devoted husband, a treasured father, and a beyond loved, never boring "Pap". He enriched the lives of everyone and was always quick to answer a call, lend a tool, help fix something, or deliver a bad joke. Your family already misses you tremendously and nothing will ever fill the hole that has been left in our hearts, but we will continue to keep you alive in our memories and our hearts.

A funeral service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, December 2, 2023, in the Grace Community Church with Mike Skaggs officiating, burial to follow in the Milledgeville-Plymouth Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations in Jeff's name are suggested to: Concord-Greene Fire Department, C/O Bridget Sollars, 1325 Miami Trace Rd, SW, Washington C.H., Ohio 43160.

Friends may visit with the family on Friday, the evening before the service, from 4-8:00 p.m. at the church.

Arrangements have been entrusted to the Summers Funeral Home.
