Jeffrey Scott Jewhurst 63 from Colbert WA passed away on April 1st 2026. Born June 28 1962 Youngstown Ohio. Jeff married his wife Trudy in 1985. He graduated college in 1987 with an HVAC degree. He worked for Divco for over 30 years and was an expert in his field. Most recently he worked as a Project Sales Manager. He was known for his infectious smile and laugh and never-ending practical jokes. He could fix anything and was often called on by family and friends. Jeff was a loving husband, father, papa, uncle, brother, cousin and friend. He was a well-known baby whisperer and could calm any cranky baby. Jeff loved all their rescue animals and would often tell Trudy to look, so he could share something cute they were doing. He loved to travel with his family and friends, watch movies and go on sand rail trips with his buddies to the Oregon coast. Jeff was a quiet man of faith and is now resting in the loving arms of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Jeff is survived by his wife of 40 years Trudy. Children Crystal Fry, Christopher (Danielle) Jewhurst, Kelsey Jewhurst, Kendall (Dakota) Scally. Grandchildren Athena and Darren. Siblings Debbie (Scott) Ellis, Bridgette (Ron) Borders, Kelly (Christine) Timmons and multiple nieces and nephews.

A memorial service will be held on April 27th at 12:30pm that will include a celebration of life, graveside prayer and reception at 508 N. Government Way Spokane WA 99224. Livestream available through OneRoom.
My uncle Jeff will be truly missed. I still cannot believe that I will never hear his laugh again or one of his silly dad jokes. He has always been there for me and my family. When I first moved to Spokane uncle Jeff and aunt Trudy helped me a ton with my daughter Jaden so I was able to go to school and work. He was always such a great father figure to her. He holds a special place in our hearts. Anytime anything was wrong with our washer/dryer or HVAC stuff he was always there to help. The funniest time was in our rental our washer stopped working correctly I was so nervous that I was going to…
I worked with Jeff for 15 of those 30 years at DIVCO. Jeff always struck me a kind and gentle soul with a big heart. Willing to help anyone who asked. Smart and an expert with anything mechanical. Once on a drive he told me he could hear one of my wheel bearings failing, something I had not picked up on. He was right of course. I learned quite a bit from him over the years.
Hearing of his passing made me very sad. Kathy and I just want to pass along our love and condolences to Trudy and their children.
