He had been employed as an Emergency Responder Paramedic for 15 years in LaPorte County, Indiana. He was also a life-long entrepreneur. Jeffery established Syndee’s Crafts in New Carlisle, Indiana (1989) with his mother Cindy and brother Chris and Millennium Development Corp. in Reno, Nevada (2005) with his brother Chris and son, Seth.
Jeffery loved animals. He would often find solace with his horses. He was a member of the Appaloosa Horse Club. Prior to becoming a successful entrepreneur, Jeff wanted to be a veterinarian!
Jeffery will be remembered most as a loving husband for 43 years. A dedicated mentor to his three sons. A man of ethics and morals. His integrity had no limits. A leader by example and always the hardest worker in any room. A provider to his family. A true hero to those who mattered most.
