Jeffrey Young, beloved husband, father, brother, and friend, passed away on April 1, 2025. Born in 1962, Jeff spent his entire life in North Jersey, with many cherished years in his hometown before settling into Jefferson. Jeff built a life centered on faith, family, and connection. He was known for his genuine warmth and gift for making others feel seen and valued. Jeff never met a stranger—his easy smile and thoughtful questions always opened the door to lasting friendships. He found joy in sharing the experience of food with friends and family, bringing interesting fruit to everyone’s door. He cared so much about people and wanted them to know he was thinking of them. Jeff was a devoted member of Green Pond Bible Church, where he found joy in serving as an usher. Prior to that, he served as a deacon at Grace Evangelical Free Church. He also dedicated time and energy to supporting Rebecca’s Homestead, a cause close to his heart. For more than 35 years, Jeff worked as a respected wholesale produce buyer/seller. He spent 28 years with A & J Produce in the Bronx and 10 years before that with Johnson Associated Fruit Company in Rockaway, working alongside his cousin. Throughout his career, Jeff earned the admiration of clients, vendors, and even competitors, cultivating relationships that went far beyond business. Jeff was predeceased by his parents, John and Ruth Young, and his brother, Russell. He is survived by his loving wife, Connie, and their daughters, Jillian Alexa (and her husband Bernardo) and younger daughter Cassidy. He also leaves behind his brothers, Matt (and wife Karen) and Cliff Young, along with many beloved brothers-and sisters-in-law, nieces, and nephews. A celebration of Jeff’s life will be held at 11:00 AM on Saturday, May 17, 2025, at Green Pond Bible Chapel, 1083 Green Pond Road, Newfoundland, NJ 07435.
