Jeffrey G.

Jones

Jeffrey G. Jones, 67 years old of Monfort Heights, passed away peacefully with his wife, Kathy, by his side on Wednesday, June 21, 2023. Born in Seoul, South Korea, Jeff was adopted at the age of 4 by an American couple, John & Betty Jane Jones. He grew up in Finneytown and attended Roger Bacon High School.

Jeff began his electrical career in 1974 as a JATC apprentice, became an IBEW Local 212 Journeyman in 1978 and remained active in the Union through 2023. He founded and successfully managed two businesses, FAST Corporation (with his close friend Gary Kraft) and Electrical Certification Inc (ECI), through which he leaves a lasting impact in the electrical industry. As sharing the wisdom gained over a nearly 50-year career was important to Jeff, leading training and education courses provided ongoing fulfillment to him.

His passion for business was only matched by love of his family. Jefe', as he became known by his grandchildren and many others, loved attending the family's various sporting events and was tremendously proud of their achievements. Every night, Jeff looked forward to a summary of the family's daily activities from his beloved wife, as well as, relaxing with his best friend, Joey, his Jack Russell Terrier.

Jeff will be deeply missed by Kathy (Morris), his wife of 44 years; his children Jessica (Garry) Cox, Jodi (Kosta) Vasiliou, Jason (Stephanie Chang) Jones, Jenna (Daniel) Tanase; grandchildren Jared, Jaxen, & Jordan Cox, Dimitri & Eli Vasiliou, Olivia Jones, and Alex & Lia Tanase. As well as bonus grandkids Brittany (Cox) Lynch, Austin & Zander Cox; sister Jenny Davis; father-in-law John Morris, and so many more family and friends. He is preceded in death by his parents Betty Jane & John Jones and mother-in-law Christine Morris.
