Jeffery Wayne Gorgus, born on September 29, 1949, in Montgomery, Pennsylvania, passed away on July 23, 2025, in Tucson, Arizona. He was 75 years old.

A skilled craftsman and dedicated entrepreneur, Jeffery was the proud owner of Gorgus and Son, a business known for building everything from custom cabinets and fine furniture to entire homes.

Jeffery spent the last five years of his life in Tucson, Arizona, having relocated from Arab, Alabama. He cherished the outdoors and found joy in working with his hands—whether building something new or simply enjoying nature’s beauty. Above all else, Jeffery loved spending time with his family and loved making memories camping with his children as well as grandchildren before his health declined.

With a host of nieces and nephews. Jeffery was preceded in death by his parents, William Joseph Gorgus Sr. and Jeanette Gorgus, his daughter Angie Bolton as well as his grandchild Jacob Luna and great-grandchild Caleb Martin.

Jeffery’s legacy lives on through the family he nurtured and the structures he built—both physical and personal. May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him.
