Jeffrey found comfort and joy in the simple pleasures of life. He shared a special bond with his Paps, spending hours listening to CB radios. He also had a love for old-time country music, something that set him apart from the typical country music fan.

An avid outdoorsman, Jeffrey found peace in boating, fishing, and hunting. His passion for hunting could be demonstrated with the extensive collection of firearms he had kept over the years.

Jeffrey was also a lover of good food and cooking, finding inspiration in the culinary arts, and often tuning into the Food Network for new recipes and cooking tips. His kitchen was a place of warmth and laughter, where he shared his love through delicious meals and delectable desserts.

Jeffrey's desire for exploration led him on many adventures, from the serene shores of St. George Island for family vacations, to the landscapes of Alaska, and the pristine beaches of Aruba. He cherished these moments, embracing the wonder of the world and the joy of discovery amongst his family and friends.

As a loving father to Ryan Shovan, Jeffrey found his greatest joy in parenthood, imparting wisdom, sharing laughter, and nurturing a bond that will endure for years to come.

Jeffrey was the cherished son of Randall and Penny Shovan, and a dear brother to Nathan Shovan, Danielle Shovan, and Jessica (Russ) Farmer. He was a pillar of strength and support to his family and as a loving boyfriend of Caroline Maniaci. Jeffrey was the adored nephew of Sue (Bobby) Wilkerson, Priscilla Mullins, Janet (the late Keith) Socha, Georgia (Brian) Hall, and Dwayne (Yvette) Mullins. He was also the fun uncle of Peyton, Riley, and Reece. Jeffrey found companionship and happiness in his faithful dogs, Cabo and Hamilton, who were more than pets but cherished members of the family. His love knew no bounds, extending to all his family and friends, whom he adored with all his heart.

In the hearts of those who knew him, Jeffrey leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and cherished memories. Jeffrey's unwavering spirit will live on in the hearts of those he touched, forever remembered and deeply missed.
