Jeffrey Allen Dady was born on September 10, 1962, in Hawthorne, California, to Boyd and Connie Dady. He was the third of six children. Jeff completed his high school education at Excelsior Springs High School in Missouri in 1980. In 1985, he moved to Reno, Nevada, where he met Charles Rose. Jeff and Charles shared a love for travel and enjoyed many trips together during their 37-year partnership. Jeff often visited Kansas City, MO, cherishing time with his family.
Jeff was known for his friendly nature, always greeting everyone with kindness, no matter his circumstances. His sense of humor was unforgettable, often bringing joy to those around him. Jeff had a passion for cooking and loved preparing and sharing meals. He was also an avid animal lover, with a special bond with his pets—a parrot, peacock, potbelly pig, and most notably his dog, Cindy Lou, who was his loyal companion through life’s ups and downs.
