Jeff graduated from Jordan High School, where he played football for all four years. He loved the game and continued to enjoy watching it throughout his life. Jeff had a great passion for the outdoors, particularly fishing, hunting, and camping with family and friends. Many cherished memories are shared, often accompanied by funny stories of things that didn’t quite go as planned. His favorite camping companions were his grandchildren, whom he adored deeply.

Another of Jeff's great joys was watching his five daughters play softball. He spent countless hours at the fields, supporting them with his love and enthusiasm. Jeff was also an active member of the Bonnett Ball Board for many years.

As a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Jeff served in many capacities, including in the Sunday School, as a Scout Master for Cub Scouts, and in the Young Men’s program.
