He was born October 16, 1967 in Hinsdale, Illinois to Maryan and Robert Bagg. Jeff attended Reeds Spring high school, studied at Southwest Missouri State University, and then joined the military service to serve his nation.

Jeff proudly served our country in the US Navy served two deployments, including Operation Desert Storm. He honorably served until April 1991. Jeff later got into the food industry and enjoyed a career in food and equipment sales. There wasn’t a restaurant that Jeff ate at that didn’t get a business card offering a new kitchen set up! Jeff loved to fish more than anything and had the friends and stories to go with.

He was proceeded in death by his father. Jeff is survived by his beloved daughters, Madison Battermann of Boone, NC and Rachel Bannister of Branson, MO.
