Jeffrey Allen "Jeff" Truesdell, age 57, of Christy Creek Road, Morehead, passed away Monday, April 8, 2019, at his home.
Born August 18, 1961, in Xenia, Ohio, he is the son of William Adrian Truesdell of Huber Heights, Ohio, and Sarah Katherine Pieratt Truesdell of Zanesville, Ohio.
In addition to his parents, Jeff is survived by his wife and soulmate for 25 years, Malinda Henson Truesdell; one daughter, Samantha White; and one granddaughter, Victoria Booth, all of Morehead; two brothers, William Nicholas (Tina) Truesdell of New Lebanon, Ohio, and Adrian Keith (Faith) Truesdell of Monroe, Ohio; one sister, Vicki Lynn (Walter) Cooley of Zanesville, Ohio; and godson, Jamie Farrell of Cincinnati, Ohio.
He also leaves behind his mother-in-law, Helen Eldridge; a brother-in-law, Claud Henson, and two sisters-in-law, Penny (Chris) Melton and Judy (Brian) Bailey, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
Jeff was employed as a building service technician at Morehead State University. He graduated from Trotwood (Ohio) High School in 1979 where he participated in many activities. He was a former youth softball coach and enjoyed baseball and NASCAR. Jeff was very funny, always making jokes and enjoying life. Christmas and kids were important to him and from that came the tradition of an annual Truesdell Christmas party. Family was so very important to Jeff; he was an incredible man who loved his wife, daughter and granddaughter greatly. Jeff was especially active in his granddaughter's life-they were each other's best friend, and both treasured their many adventures together. Jeff will be greatly missed and lovingly remembered.
