Jeffrey Lee "Jeff" Stauffer, 65, of Lititz, was welcomed into the arms of his Savior, Friday, Jan. 17. Born in Ephrata, he was the son of the late Jay Thomas and Betsy Jo Haines Stauffer. He was a 1977 graduate of Warwick High School, where he met his sweetheart and true love, Vickie Zercher Stauffer. They were married for 42 amazing years.

Admired for his woodworking skills and craftsmanship, Jeff built a successful business, Stauffer Cabinetry, that took him up and down the east coast installing fine custom cabinets. He built three of his own homes in the Lititz area, including a very unique yurt he designed and assembled himself.

A lifelong outdoorsman, Jeff loved spending time in nature; hunting whitetail and other game, fishing secluded mountain streams and hiking through deep snow tracking a buck. He shot and carried out his last whitetail with his favorite muzzleloading long rifle a week before his passing.

Regarded for his risk-taking tendencies, he never shied away from adventure. Riding his motorcycle on the BDR trails, finding the steepest black diamond tree skiing runs in Vermont, or chasing his son down a gnarly mountain bike trail. His body was a tree magnet on some of those occasions, resulting in many injuries, much to his wife's chagrin.

Coastal Maine was Jeff's happy place, his home away from home. He loved taking in the sunset on the porch of his aunt and uncle's cottage on Gun Point Cove, watching the work boats on the water, and steaming a pot of freshly caught lobster for dinner.

An avid conversationalist, he could often be found at his favorite coffee shops in Lititz, recalling stories, making friends, and of course catching up with the latest news. He always had time to talk, even when he didn't.

It would seem erroneous not to mention that Jeff had an enthusiastic passion for motorized vehicles. "As often as one changes underwear," he regularly returned home with a new car, motorcycle, or boat.

More than all these things, Jeff loved his family. He could always find a reason to get his family together; for a steak cookout, a blueberry pancake breakfast with his homemade maple syrup, or just to sit and talk together. The life of the party, he was never too shy to throw in some of his favorite dance moves. Being a goofball was second nature, and making his seven grandkids laugh brought him joy. "Pepa Jeff" and "Papoo," as he was affectionately called, took being a husband, father and grandfather to a level that left a lasting legacy, never to be forgotten.

Lastly, but most importantly, Jeff was a man of unwavering faith. For all that knew him, his walk with the Lord was evident in many ways. His selfless demeanor always shone bright with a smile, hug, and genuine care and compassion. Sharing the love of his Savior was always on his heart. His final desire in this life was that God be given the Glory in all things, the good and the bad.

Surviving besides his wife is his daughter, Erin, wife of Otto Monroy of Dillsburg, his son Cody, husband of Dashia Stauffer of Manheim, and seven grandchildren; two brothers: Jay Thomas, husband of Cindy Stauffer of Lititz and David Stauffer of Colorado; and three sisters: Kathy, wife of Michael Yoder of Liberty, KY., Sue, wife of Ray Leed, and Debra, wife of Brad Eidemiller, both of Lititz.

Memorial Services will be held at 10AM, Saturday, February 1, 2025, at Grace Church, 501 W. Lincoln Ave., Lititz, PA 17543. Visitation will follow the service at the church.
