Jeffrey was born 21 May 1951 in Monticello, Utah to Ardell Palmer Black and Edwin Zemira Black. His youth was spent in Monticello and Blanding, UT.
He graduated from San Juan High School in Blanding and attended Dixie College in St. George, UT. While in college he met his sweetheart, Jeri Glaus. They were married on June 5, 1972 and were sealed in the Laie Hawaii Temple on December 6, 1976. This loving couple raised four wonderful children: Andrea (Chris) Pearce, Jennifer (Josh) Randall, Rachel (Jake) Alldredge, and Benjamin (Dionna) Black. They blessed their parents with nine beautiful grandchildren. Jeffrey worked for Salt Lake County Plat Department as a draftsman, which he enjoyed for many years.
He loved and embraced the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. He loved BYU football and requested burial in the Cougar Stadium. Jeffrey remembered every joke he heard or read and they were always better by his re-telling. Jeffrey loved yard work and spent hundreds of hours caring for his yard and garden. Jeffrey never hesitated to give a hug. His hugs were the quintessence of love.
Jeffrey is survived by his aforementioned wife, children, grandchildren, and his 96 year old mother, Ardell Palmer Black Ostergaard and siblings, Palmer (Cynthia) Black, Naida (Clisbee) Black, Tim (Gail) Black, Ted (Lynda) Black. Jeffrey was preceded in death by his father, Edwin Zemira Black, and siblings, Nancy Ardith Black and EdLenna (Ted) Miller.
