Born on July 7, 1956 in Sanger, California to Kenton James Jarvis and Norma Marie Jarvis. Jeff spent most of his life in the Fresno area, where he built both his home and his legacy.

He found purpose in fixing, building, and restoring things, whether it was a home, a vehicle, or something small that needed careful attention.

He is survived by his daughter, Nicole Jarvis; his son, Jeffrey Jarvis; his daughter-in-law, Adrine Jarvis; his grandson, Jayce Jarvis; his mother, Norma Jarvis; his sister, Cheryl Jarvis; and his former wife, Darlene Jarvis. He was preceded in death by his father, Kenton Jarvis.

Jeff will be remembered for his strength, work ethic, and the lasting impact he made on those who knew and loved him.
