Jeff was a man of many passions, most notably his love for sports. He was an avid fan of the Philadelphia Eagles and The Phillies. His enthusiasm for sports extended beyond watching; Jeff was a dedicated coach of baseball and had a love for playing tennis. One of his greatest joys was watching his children, Cole and Marc, participate in sports, where he found immense pride in their achievements. 

He always looked forward to coming home every night to spend time with his family and his two dogs, Luna and Kaia.

Jeff dedicated himself to a successful career in insurance sales, where his expertise and genuine care for his clients truly set him apart. He had a passion for landscaping, where he found peace and fulfillment in creating beautiful outdoor spaces. Jeff’s hardworking nature and attention to detail were evident not only in his career but in all aspects of his life.

Jeff was the beloved husband of Laurie Mays (nee Sheckman) and loving father of Cole I. Mays and Marc H. Mays. Also survived by his mother Patricia Mayfair Smith, and his three siblings: Jill A. Kashner, Jim J. Mays Jr., and Justin Mayfair. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who knew him.
