Cooper. Jeff graduated from Benton Central High School and attended college at Rose Hulman and Purdue. He married "the love of his life," Kathryn (Kitty) Rainier on February 14, 1990, in Lafayette, and she survives.
Jeff worked at Purdue University for the past 38 years, his current position being elevator systems specialist. Jeff was extremely knowledgeable in his field and well-respected throughout the University.
Jeff's family was his life, and everything else came second. He had such a big heart and was always taking care of others. In his spare time, Jeff loved playing and collecting guitars, watching the birds while spending time outside on his gazebo, doing projects around the house, and cooking for family and friends. Jeff was the perfect example of a husband, father and son.
