Jeffrey Albert Francis

March 28, 1961 - May 15, 2020

Jeffrey Francis, 59, passed away peacefully on Friday, May 15th, 2020 surrounded by his loving family in Traverse City. The Lord has called our brother Jeffrey. Jeffrey Albert Francis despite his hurdles was able to knit together a life of peace, provision, and most of all ability to receive and give love. He had worries for sure, unspoken struggles with his mental illness, but was able to edit that out enough to take care of himself and express and love to others. Jeffrey grew in wisdom and was mechanically minded as evidenced by his interest in aviation. He kept miniatures of the Blue Angels and enjoyed the annual airshow in Traverse City. When Jeffrey was 3 years old, the family thought that Jeffrey had run away from home on his tricycle, rather, he was following a jet in its course through the sky. Jeff's legacy is take care of yourself and others. Place no value on the things of this world. Be generous with your resources; kind words, helping hands, humor, wisdom, hospitality. Live without grudges. Live with courage. Jeff and his family are in the care of the Reynolds-Jonkhoff Funeral Home and Cremation Services.
