Jeffrey A. Loney Obituary
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of Jeffrey A. Loney (Fort Bragg, California), who passed away on November 1, 2025, at the age of 67, leaving to mourn family and friends. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Jeffrey A. Loney to show support.
In the sacred silence of farewell, Jeffrey is released into the embrace of eternity, knowing that his light will continue to shine brightly in the tapestry of the lives of his loved ones. And as his memory is carried forward, may comfort be found in the knowledge that love is eternal, and that Jeffrey's spirit lives on in the beauty that surrounds us.
He was loved and cherished by many people including: his wife Stephanie; his children, Jamie (and daughter-in-law Becca) and Gabrielle (son-in-law Chris); granddaughters Josie and Isla; and his brothers Jeremy and Blaine and sister Jacqueline.
Someone once said that Multiple Systems Atrophy is like an unwanted third person who has entered your home uninvited and who will not leave. When Jeff learned three years ago that he did not have Parkinson's but instead had MSA, he accepted his fate and focused on staying with his family for as long as he could. He was pleased he met two new granddaughters, walked his daughter Gaby down the aisle and enjoyed a life long ambition to ride in an Aston Martin in his last years. These happy times lifted his spirits in the darkest period of his life. Yet, Jeff remained brave and stoic even as the outlook worsened. He never complained and took it all in his stride while MSA stole him away piece by piece, bit by bit. He tried to not make anything harder for his family, never demanded extra attention or made his health the excuse for not trying.
Up until the last year he would be open to another trip or another visit from friends. It was only at the very end that he relented and let his life slow to a peaceful conclusion. He faced this bravely, with dignity and calmness in the comfort of his home with his loving wife Stephanie. Jeff chose to be buried at sea and his loving family is honored to grant his wish.
His wife Stephanie will look at the ocean each day and know he is close. His daughter Gaby in San Diego will feel his presence when she watches the sun set off the Carlsbad coastline. His son Jamie will look at his surfboards and know that the Pacific waves now hold his father's memory. His family know he was taken too soon and stolen from them by circumstances but are grateful for his life, his love, his guidance and selflessness. Rest in peace.
