Obituary
Born and raised in Wilmette, Illinois, Jeff attended New Trier High School before earning his undergraduate degree from the University of Iowa and his law degree from Chicago-Kent College of Law. He served as a partner at Amundsen Davis law firm and practiced law for 23 years.
Above all, Jeff was a devoted father. Anyone who knew him understood that his daughters meant the world to him. From nighttime drives and ice cream outings to Friday night daddy-daughter dinners, Jeff cherished every moment with Rachel and Sarah-and they adored their fun-loving, silly father in return.
Jeff was known for his encyclopedic knowledge of music and cars. A wonderful and faithful friend, he had a gift for connecting with people and engaging in meaningful conversation. His warmth, intellect, and humor will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Jeff and I worked briefly at a job during summer many years ago. He was so caring and funny. We laughed a lot together. I enjoyed hanging out with him and I knew he was going places as he was considering law school at the time. Beth (and the Chudnow family), may his memory be a blessing. It is so sad that he was so young. He will be missed. Thinking of Beth and her daughters during this difficult time.
