Jeffrey Lynn Mahon

Jeffrey Lynn Mahon, 65, of Trinway, went to be with the Lord after a long hard fought battle with lung cancer, at 8:50 A.M. on Sunday, June 13, 2021 at Genesis Hospital, Zanesville. He was born September 18, 1955, in Zanesville, a son of the late James and Mary (Archer) Mahon. He was a 1973 graduate of Zanesville High School and MAJVS, and studied at the University of Hawaii Hi10. Jeff was a veteran of the United States Army of 10 ½ years serving during the Vietnam War and was employed with Auto Zone Distribution Center, Zanesville. He enjoyed his classic cars, 60’s & 70’s rock-n-roll, Buddy Holly, his fur kids, and was an avid Buckeye Fan. He loved his country, his kids, step-kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids, and telling stories about his time in the service. He enjoyed gardening, fishing, bowling, bird watching, and taking long rides to look at scenery. Jeff had a great sense of humor that everyone that knew him will surely miss.

(Starkey) Mahon; two sons, Tim (Brandi) Mahon and Rick Radcliff; two daughters, Heather (Donte) Leasure and Becky (Andre) Mahon; three step-children, Tina (Kurt) Starkey, Kerri (Brett) Bailey, and Julie (Scott) Bailey; five grandchildren, Tony, Ashley, Kerstin, David, and Rick Jr.; three step-grandchildren, Baylee, Sydney, and Brayden; three great-grandchildren, Cooper, Jayden, and Hazley; a brother, James (Sheri) Mahon; three sisters, Mary Ann Passwaters, Tina (Dan) Miller, and Crystal (Kevin) Mahon; many nieces and nephews; and his two beloved dogs, Buddy and Holly.
