Jeffrey Keesecker Obituary
He was a long time athlete with Special Olympics, which he truly enjoyed. He won several trophies and awards. He was also a long time member of a bowling league.

Jeff was born on April 13, 1958 in Renton, WA to Carl (Bud) and Valeta (Babe) Keesecker whom raised him in Rockport, WA along with his younger twin sisters. Jeff was a wonderful son, brother, uncle and friend who will be missed deeply and will always be in our hearts.
He is survived by his parents, Carl and Valeta from Rockport, WA; sister Cari and brother-in-law David Dellinger and their four children of Concrete WA; sister Colleen and brother-in-law Jim Nushart and their three children of Marblemount WA.

I have known Jeff his entire life and watched him grow up in Rockport. I have many fond memories of him throughout his life. I watched him drive his old car through town with the biggest of smiles on his face. I also watched him skip rocks from one side of the Skagit River to the other. He will be deeply missed. My condolences to the family and friends.

He will always be "Jeffie" to me. I, too was surprised to see he was following the Lord and giving back so much to society. My own Son, Marc and he have much in common. Goodbye to my little baby Cousin, Jeff, see you again in Heaven.
Love,
Marie "Micki"

We live on the eastern edge of the state now and cannot attend the services, but please know we are sorry for your loss and we send our condolences to Bud & Babe, Jeff's new wife and other famiy. I remember Jeff especially at the dances we played for...he loved music and rarely missed any of them.
We're so very glad to hear he found happiness and that he was a believer.

I
am saddened to learn of Jeff's unexpected passing. My condolences to
his families and his bride and at this time I pray for strength for
all. Though I have not been in the valley for a while - I do remember
Jeff in the Concrete schools from as early as '66. I was always
impressed with his self courage, even in the face of some of the
bullies that made learning even harder. I am happy to know that he had
a personal relationship with the Lord.
