Jeffrey Zilhaver

Jeffrey A. Zilhaver, 68, passed on Saturday, January 9, 2021 at his residence following a short illness.  Jeff was a beloved son born to Ray Zilhaver and Lois (Stafford) Zilhaver on March 11, 1952 in Meadville, PA.

“Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; love leaves a memory no one can steal.”  Jeff leaves us all with many cherished and amusing memories.  He was kind to everyone and a giving soul. A gentle soul who appreciated being alone; he loved animals with a passion.  He will be greatly missed.

Jeff graduated from Cambridge Springs High School. He served in the Army, stationed in Korea.  Jeff worked at various tool and die shops in the Meadville area.

Left to cherish his memories are his siblings:  Sandra Mook (Doug Bensink), Linda Sayers (Jeff), Keith Zilhaver (Judy) and Valerie Atkin (Dennis); his cherished friend of four decades, Sue and many nephews, nieces,  great nephews and nieces.

Preceeding him in death are his grandparents, his parents, his brother, Dale and his nephew, Jeremy.
