Jeff Engler, Deptford, NJ— Jeff Engler, a father of five, passed away peacefully in his sleep on Tuesday, October 8th, leaving behind a grieving family and community. Known for his warmth, compassion, and infectious smile, Jeff touched the lives of many, from his role as a husband to Frances Engler, to his children, and to countless friends and colleagues.
Jeff was not just a family man, but a passionate sports enthusiast and coach. His love for sports, especially his devotion to the Eagles and his local team, the Diamond Dawgs, was something that defined his spirit. When he wasn’t at work at Gloucester Plumbing Supply, where he dedicated 30 years, he was making time for his family—whether it was attending concerts and sporting events with his wife of 24 years, Fran, or spending special moments with his children.
His son Jeff recalls playing basketball with him, while his daughter Sophia fondly remembers their movie nights. Angelo treasures their shared love for rock music and binge-eating Irish Potatoes, and Jaden remembers cooking and playing video games with his father. Even his youngest daughter, Gia, saw him as her art canvas, often turning him into part of her playful creations.
The family has experienced financial difficulties over the years, making it hard to provide Jeff with the farewell they believe he deserves. His children, led by Jaden Wilkinson, have organized a fundraiser to help cover the costs of a proper ceremony. They are asking for the community’s support in celebrating Jeff’s life, with the funeral set for October 19th.
Support has already begun pouring in, with donations from friends and loved ones. Salvatore D’Amico has contributed $150 as the top donation, followed by Julian Aquino, who also donated $150, and other anonymous contributors.
We are deeply saddened by Jeff Engler’s passing, and our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this difficult time. May his memory live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
