Jeffrey Smurthwaite Obituary
He was the devoted son of Dolores and the late Thomas Smurthwaite and the dear brother of Gary (Tina), Larry (Dezi), and the late Tommy (Patti). He lost his beloved son Dominic in 2015. He is survived by his numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and many friends, including his best friend, Danny Voreyer. We will continue to honor his legacy by remembering his quick wit and ability to make everyone feel welcome.
Jed was raised in San Bruno, California, and was a flooring installer for over twenty years at Hoem and Associates in South San Francisco where he eventually retired as superintendent. He enjoyed watching and playing golf, spending time with his beautiful grandchildren, woodworking, and giving thoughtfully hilarious gifts!
Friends and family may visit on Thursday, February 23, 2023, from 4:00 - 8:00 p.m. at the Chapel of the Highlands, 194 Millwood Drive at El Camino Real in Millbrae. The funeral mass will be celebrated on Friday, February 24, 2023 at 10:30 a.m. at Saint Robert's Church, 1380 Crystal Springs Road in San Bruno. Interment to follow at Holy Cross Cemetery in Colma.
In lieu of flowers, Jed would prefer that you enjoy a hearty laugh with your friends and family over a bottle of wine.

Jed, I´ll write more later, being all I´d written seems to have vanished. You and your loved ones I´ve had on my mind since you had to leave. I don´t have words to comfort them, but wish them comfort and spiritual strength. My sincere condolences to all the Smurthwaite family and all who loved/love you. Rest In Peace and Love Jed. We´ll be seeing you.

Jed, I´ve been thinking of you and your grieving loved ones, daily since you had to leave. I have no words to comfort them, but want you and them to know my sympathies are with all of you. What a beautiful eulogy I believe Lina wrote in memory of you. We´ll be seeing you. Rest in love and peace Jed.
