Jeffery Wayne Girard, born Oct. 18, 1948, in Ohio, passed away peacefully on May 15, 2025, in Ohio. A worldly man, Jeff, affectionately known as "Dad", spent his early years traveling and experiencing life to its fullest. He was a builder, mountain climber, and storyteller who captivated those around him with his adventurous spirit and rich tales.

Growing up in the rural area of Magnolia, OH, he fondly remembered trapping muskrats and walking through the snow to attend school. His passion for life and relentless pursuit of dreams were evident in everything he did. Jeff's dream of living in Costa Rica will be cherished by his son, Callen, as he intended it to be a legacy of exploration and love. He will be deeply missed.
