Jeffrey JOHNSTONE Obituary

JOHNSTONE, Jeffrey William
It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Jeff Johnstone, 58. Jeff died from injuries sustained in a tragic bicycle accident in the desert foothills east of Scottsdale, Arizona. Jeff is survived by his loving wife, Beth, his sons Jordan and Collin and his daughter Meredith. Jeff is also survived by his sisters Judy Gilley and Jill Short, and their spouses Dennis and Andy, his brother Jim Johnstone and his children Nell and Connor Johnstone of Austin, Texas and numerous other loving nieces and nephews.

A celebration of his life was held on Saturday, February 21st at Desert Hills Presbyterian Church in Scottsdale, Arizona. In lieu of flowers, the family urges you to do what Jeff did and give the gift of life. We encourage you to sign up to be an organ donor today.

Fair sailing our brother, our friend, our loved one, our father, our sweet husband. We shall see each other again. Go to God with great haste.

To the Johnstone Family: Jeff was always an engaging neighbor and we always talked about our families and children. He will be missed on his daily walks and bike rides that were always accomplanied by a friendly "hello" and enthusiastic encouragement to enjoy every day. Rest in peace, brother.
