Obituary
MADISON-Jeffery A. Jenkins, age 44, of Madison, passed away on Friday, Jan. 29, 2021, at St. Mary's Hospital. He was born on Oct. 7, 1976, in Madison, the son of Michael and Linda (Ring) Jenkins. Jeff graduated from Monona Grove High School.
Jeff worked as a maintenance technician and was always “tinkering” even when not working. He was an incredibly hard worker. Jeff enjoyed trap shooting, being outdoors, grilling and spending time with family and friends. Jeff was always willing to help others. He liked to stay busy, whether it was spending time with family and friends or working.
Jeff is survived by his parents, Mike and Linda Jenkins; brother, Paul Jenkins (Misty DuBose); two nephews, Evan Jenkins and Chris Henry; maternal grandmother, Barbara "Barb" Ring; and paternal grandparents, Donald and Frances Jenkins. He is further survived by many aunts, uncles, and cousins; and special friends, Bob and Tammy, and many other good friends. He will be missed by his faithful companion, Eli, his German Shepherd. He was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, Robert "Bob" Ring.
A celebration of Jeff’s life will be held when we can all gather safely. Memorials may be made to a charity of your own choice in memory of Jeff. A special thank you to the staff at St. Mary’s Hospital Neuro ICU for their exceptional care of Jeff. Online condolences may be made at www.gundersonfh.com.

I was shocked and saddened when I heard about Jeff. We went to school together and, even though we lost touch, we would run into each other from time to time. It always felt like we were picking up right where we left off. He was such a great person and will be deeply missed. My deepest sympathies to his family and all who knew him. Until we run into each other again...Rest easy my friend. Teri Reilly

My name is John Trainor, and him and I were such great friends throughout his life, we would always take summer school and made sure we were in the same classes, whether or not we learned anything all those years, but one thing is for sure, we ALWAYS had a great time together.
