Jeffrey L. Kraushaar, of Apex, NC, died in his sleep on February 23, 2017 at the age of 64. Jeff was born in Columbus, OH on September 6, 1952 to James and Gertrude (Woodman) Kraushaar, and grew up in Upper Arlington, OH. He attended Findlay College, The Ohio State University, and graduated from Warren Wilson College in 1975. Inspired by a love of people and travel, Jeff embarked on a career in sales, earning the respect of countless colleagues in the medical device industry. He reunited with his high school sweetheart Sydney, and they were married on April 30, 1993. Together with Sydney’s daughter Lindsay, their new family built a life together in Akron, OH, where they would live until 2008 when Jeff and Sydney moved to Apex, NC. Jeff is best remembered as a devoted husband, father, brother, grandparent and friend whose humor and generous spirit seemingly knew no bounds. A die-hard Ohio State Buckeye, avid golfer, basketball fan, and history buff, Jeff’s presence could brighten any room and bring a smile to any face. He is survived by his wife Sydney Kraushaar, daughter Lindsay Ruffini and her husband Patrick of Falls Church, VA, granddaughters Abigail, Ella, and Madeleine, brother Jim Kraushaar and his wife Candice of Irvine, CA, and nieces Courtney and Rachel.
