The life of the party Jeffrey Craig (Jeffy) Pillinger, 59, of Port Charlotte, Florida passed away at home with his loving wife Melissa by his side on December 27, 2021. His love of life didn’t come to an end with his death.
Jeffy was born on November 27, 1962 in Detroit Michigan by his loving parents who preceded him to heaven, Norman John and Mary Lou Pillinger. Jeff was one of 8 children. From a very young age he was known as the jokester and always kept his punch lines going. Jeff made everyone at ease and comfortable with his light hearted humor and comical ways. If you didn’t pay attention, the time would pass quickly as the laughs kept going. Jeff was serious about his love for his best friend companion and long time love Melissa. Jeff was also passionate about his love for Jesus and helping people. Jeff was a very dependable person, if someone needed help they would always call Jeff and he would do everything he possibly could to help out those in need. He started at an early age wheeling and dealing and buying and selling things a skill he shares with several family members. He truly had the gift of gab. Jeff was a lover and he showed this through being a giver! Jeff was known as the cool Dad and always had the kids at the house playing jokes and having fun. I encourage everyone to find peace through memories of his laughter and tears of joy. Rest in eternal peace until we meet again!
He leaves behind his beautiful wife of 33 years, Melissa Marie Pillinger; four children, Jeffrey Craig McMahan, Angela Marie Oglesby, James Jeffrey Pillinger, and Jesse John Pillinger; four grandchildren, Timothy Lee white, Jeffrey Craig McMahan Jr. , Samantha Dupri white, and Jaylynn Marie Oglesby.
A visitation will be held from 10AM-11AM, Saturday, January 8, 2022 at Roberson Funeral Home Port Charlotte Chapel.
