Jeffrey Loeben passed away in The Villages, Florida on May 1, 2025 at age 80, after a short battle with cancer. He is remembered by his friends and family as a sharp, witty, fun-loving retiree with a passion for golf and always being active and outside in the Florida sun. Earlier in life, he also enjoyed deep sea fishing, snow skiing and travelling the world.
Jeff was born on March 26, 1945, in Gloversville, New York to Arthur and Billie Joe (Teague) Loeben. As a young man, he served in the U.S. Navy and shortly after his service, he met his future wife, Lise. They had a son, Daniel, who was born in Boston on June 17, 1969. After only a few months in Boston, they moved to Montreal, Canada where his wife was born and they lived there for a few more years. In the early 1970’s they purchased their first home in Brandon, Florida and remained there for a few years.
Jeff’s career in sales was taking off at this time and he quickly became a top performing sales rep with several different companies which allowed him the freedom to choose any state on the east coast of the U.S. to have as their home so he moved the family to Raleigh, North Carolina where they stayed until 1982 when their love for Florida lured them back, this time to Tampa.
After moving back to North Carolina for about 9 years, Florida was calling his name again so he relocated to The Villages in 2012 so he could enjoy the retired life. He separated from his wife many years before retiring but he met a very fun and outgoing woman named Ann who ended up moving in with him and they shared lots of fun memories together for about 9 years before Ann passed away at the end of 2024.
Jeff’s ex-wife also passed away in 2021 but he leaves behind his son Daniel who will miss him very much and is forever grateful for his father’s advice, love and support.
A celebration of Jeff’s life will be held at Beyers Funeral Home and Crematory, 1123 W Main St, Leesburg, FL 34748 on Saturday, May 10, 2025 at 2 p.m.
