Jeffrey BENZ Obituary

Jeffrey Charles Benz was born in Eugene, Oregon, December 21st, 1951, to Earl and Doreen Benz, joining older brothers, Tom and Mike. The family moved to Lebanon, Oregon, where Jeff enjoyed the magical childhood of the 1950s. His love of music started at a young age, and by the age of five he decided he wanted to be in a band.

Jeff earned his degree from the University of Idaho in Metallurgical Engineering. He changed careers into Environmental, Health and Safety.

Jeff married Gia in 1983, and the couple had two children together giving Jeff four children. He was a life-long Steelers fan, instilling his love of football in his children.

Jeff enjoyed fishing and took multiple trips down the Amazon River. His friends and family will always remember his kindness and compassion.

Jeff is survived by his wife of 41 years, Gia; his three sons, Matthew, Thomas, and Donald, and their wives, Lauren and Natalie; his four grandchildren, Wyatt, Kingston, Scarlett, and Magnolia. He was preceded in death by his parents, Earl and Doreen, and his son, Jeffrey.

His funeral service will be held at Heritage Funeral in Spokane on Saturday, November 23rd, at 2:00 pm.
