Jeffrey John Godbold's Obituary
Jeffrey “Jeff” Godbold, age 38, of Hesperia, CA passed away on August 28, 2018. He will be dearly missed.
Jeff was born August 20, 1980 in Marquette, MI. to parents Thomas A. Godbold and Cynthia M. Cook. Jeff grew up in Eaton Rapids, MI and worked in the construction and industrial trades before joining the Navy as an Electrician’s Mate. Jeff was honorably discharged from the Navy in 2016 and went to work in the private sector.
He had a passion for learning how things worked and working with his hands. Jeff would frequently be found in his workshop tearing something mechanical apart, welding, working on a car, or laboring away on a new project. Jeff was quick to make friends, was an easy conversationalist, and was quick with a joke.
Jeff is survived by his wife, Diana; parents and step parents; Thomas Godbold, Sue Godbold, Cynthia Cook and Michael Cook; grandmother, Louise Godbold; brother Kevin Godbold; step-brothers, Jason Cook and Josh Cook; many uncles, aunts, cousins, in-laws, nieces and nephews; and countless friends.
