This is about Jeffery Gene Vollmer’s life, at least the one I knew. We'd love to hear what stories, love and life he had with you. Please contact us if you have pictures you'd like to add to the Gallery as well.
I had the privilege of having Jeff as my brother for a short 47 years. Jeff was born and raised in Stockton California to Ron and Betty Vollmer, July 12, 1961. Jeff was the curious type, I think from day one he wanted to know the whys of things and life. We shared a home on La Jolla Drive, went to John Tyler for one year then were bused to Martin Luther King, then off to Webster for middle school and then to Stagg Sr. High where he graduated with the class of 1979. Jeff tried many things, constantly investigating something different. Our home was always filled with kids, whether including Mike Noriega, Niki Keyser, Paul Alverez, Ralph Martin, Matt Dinkle, Vern Smith or all of my friends that Jeff was always in the middle of. Barbara Campos, Dawn Cochran, Veronica Perez just to name a few. I would have a slumber party and Jeff would be in the middle of all us, to my chagrin.
My father and mother divorced and not too far in the future we met our step-father Roger Crawford who has been a wonderful guide and person in his life. Our biological father stayed in Jeff’s life but passed away on Dec 5, 2005. Jeff has a step brother KC Crawford and a step sister Cary.
Jeff had the single life while going to and graduating from San Joaquin Delta College with an AA in Mechanical Engineering Tech. He soon went to work for Lawrence Livermore laboratories. Life changed when he met Lisa Feldman. She was the one for him they eventually got married and had a beautiful son Tyler Preston Vollmer, a child so much like himself, full of curiosity and intelligence with that wonderful compassion. A couple of years later he and Lisa had a beautiful daughter Morgan Vollmer. Jeff loved motorcycle riding, had a home full of little critters and there was always something happening at the Vollmer residence. I’m hoping his kids and Lisa will tell you more about what Jeff’s life was about with them.
Lisa and Jeff divorced and Jeff maintained a long distance relationship with his kids traveling to Florida at least once every other month and most holidays. I know he talked with Tyler on a daily basis.
Jeff changed his career a few times but his heart was always in the sales scene. I’d listen to him on the phone so many times and he was a true professional.
When Jeff moved to Rancho Cordova for what I thought would be a great change of pace, he found happiness in living near the American River and having a great pub across the way that dearly loved him.
Jeff met Elizabeth who is and was special to him. She and his best friend Rick were with him when he took his last breath.
Everyone knew Jeff differently, but I think we all can say he wouldn’t hurt a fly; he was a gentle man and a gentleman. He loved his kids…and loved being their dad. He was searching for love and found Elizabeth.
I saw my brother very few times, although we lived in the same area. On occasion he would join Dave and me ballooning either in Sacramento or at the Great Reno Balloon Races. I loved Jeff, I wanted us to grow old together but fate has changed this.
No matter who you are please write things you knew and saw both in and with Jeff. Please send pics and music, thoughts etc…
