Jeff passed away at St. Mary's hospital in Rochester MN. He was born in Milwaukee WI on October 2, 1954 to Edwin and June Kubiak. He grew up in Greenfield WI with his 2 younger brothers Eric and Mark. After high school Jeff joined the U.S. Marine Corps. He received an honorable discharge on October 22, 1980. After that he married Sheri (Bates) in 1981. They had 3 children together, Kirk Eli April 13, 1982, who very unfortunately passed away shortly after birth, Nicole Lynn September 3, 1983 and Amanda Rose March 11, 1985. Jeff and Sheri divorced in 1989. After some time and dating here and there he met Mary Johnson and they were together just shy of 21 years. Jeff spent his life as a mechanic, sometimes on cars but mostly on large machinery in factories. He retired from Meyers in Bay City WI. Jeff loved motorcycles, tattoos and Rock and Roll music. He was proud to be a U.S. Marine and proud of his Polish heritage. He loved his family with everything he had, nothing was more important and celebrating birthdays was a must for him. He was very well known in his home area surrounding Milwaukee and in Red Wing over to Bay City and Maiden Rock as "Caveman" and it was a well earned nickname throughout his life. His sense of humor was well loved by all who knew him. He will be greatly missed.
