Jeffrey was born on December 20, 1957, in Independence, MO, to Claude and Corky (Howell) Link. Living his entire life in Independence, Jeff met and married his wife, Sheri, in 1981. Together they raised two sons, Jon-Elliott and Jameson.
Jeff was an avid fan of pop culture, horror movies, electronics, and Stephen King. He was interested in current events and spent recent elections working as a Jackson County Election Board official. Jeff thrived on the human connections he was able to create with friends across the world through social media. He was at his best when he was helping others in need or making people laugh. Jeff’s family wants to thank the many friends that he made online through his work as an administrator on the Horror and Stephen King Facebook group.
Jeff was preceded in death by his parents, Claude and Corky; his brother, Mark Link; and his sister, Claudia Decker. He is survived by his wife, Sheri; sons, Jon-Elliott Link (Natalia) and Jameson Link; brother, Fred Link (Linda); father-in-law, John Salazar Sr.; brother-in-law, Anthony Salazar; his best friend and brother-in-law, John “Bob” Salazar Jr.; his grandsons, Matthew and Benjamin; and his very good dog, Sky.
