Jeffrey O'Neal Benefiel Sr. was born on May 1, 1972, in McMinnville Oregon. Jeff was 50 years old when he passed away February 25, 2023. At this time there will not be a funeral service, later the family will be having a celebration of life just like Jeff would have wanted. Jeff was a very loving father, who was extremely proud of all of his kids. He could always make you laugh. Jeff was a giant teddy bear once you got to know him. He worked hard his entire life. If the weather was nice he would prefer to spend his time fishing or having a BBQ. Although he never needed a reason for a BBQ, he would have one just because. Jeff is survived by his mother Janice Anderson, his father Danny Benefiel Sr. , his stepmom Elona Benefiel and his brother Danny Benefiel Jr. His children Ashlie Benefiel, Tyler Thomas, Jeffrey Benefiel Jr. , Shayna Benefiel, and Alissa Benefiel, plus all 7 of his grandchildren, Remington, Bryson, Madilynn, Brooklyn, Ava, Austin, and Alani. Then of course his dog Jake who was his baby.
