In November 2018, he promoted again to Correctional Plant Manager, where he remained until his untimely passing.
“Jeff is instantly missed by everyone who knew him. Jeff had a wealth of knowledge that enabled him to excel within the Department. He was also known to lend an ear and give some advice for those needing it. As most staff know, Jeff was the guy that ‘kept the lights on’ for the prison,” according to a statement issued by CSP-Corcoran. “Over the years, Jeff played a critical role in keeping Corcoran functioning through the countless times issues arose at the prison. Jeff will also be remembered for being a hardworking man, with a fun sense of humor, as well as his dedication to his family. He was a pleasure to be around. Jeff’s CDCR family feels the pain of this loss and offers our sincerest condolences to his family.”
He is survived by his wife of 38 years, two sons, six grandchildren, his mother, three brothers and two sisters.
