In loving memory and with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, brother, uncle and friend to everyone he met. Jeff is free of the bonds of earth and safe in Heaven. He was born in Superior, WI to Henry and Betty DeMeyer on October 7, 1944.

The family moved to Richland when Jeff was two years old. He graduated from Richland's Columbia High School in 1962. He met and married Cathy Blaine DeMeyer in 1964, and they raised three children: Shawna, Julie and Chad. Jeff worked at Boise Cascade in Wallula, WA and had many friends.

He was a softball coach for the girls, and he loved it. Jeff also was on the planning committee for the Class of '62 for the 50 year reunion.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his sister, Judy ('58), who passed away November 25, 1997; his nephew, Phillip; and his son, Scott.

Jeff is survived by his wife of 50 years, Cathy DeMeyer; his children: Shawna, Julie and Chad; his siblings: Mary Lou DeMeyer Gnoza ('59), Steve DeMeyer ('67) and Kathy DeMeyer Hodges ('71); and numerous nieces, nephews, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

A Celebration of Life was held Saturday, December 6, 2014, from 2-4 pm at Events at Sunset in Richland.

"Good-bye Papa, until we me meet again. We will always love and miss you every day."
