JEFFREY – Allen Thomas Jeffrey, a cherished son, husband, father, brother-in-law, and uncle, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, May 6, 2024, in Calgary, Alberta, at the age of 56. He was born on July 28, 1967, in Vegreville, Alberta, to proud parents Bob and Luva Jeffrey; Al was their only child. He spent his formative years in Drumheller, Alberta, graduating in 1985 before relocating to Brooks, Alberta. There, he pursued a career as a skilled Electrical Journeyman through SAIT.
In Brooks, Al found not only a career but also the love of his life, Lisa Lyn Seibel. They were united in marriage on September 4, 1993, and shared a bond that lasted for three decades. Al and Lisa welcomed their daughters Taylor in 1994, Sydney in 1996, and Alysia in 1998, forming the beloved “Jeffrey 5.”
After some time, the family moved to Medicine Hat, where Al continued to support his daughters in their activities, education, and sports, always offering his unwavering love and encouragement. After the girls left home to pursue their dreams, Al and Lisa eventually returned to Brooks, settling on an acreage north of Brooks.
“Alberto” enjoyed gatherings with family and friends, especially during fireside chats and camping trips. Al fit in with Lisa’s big family, the Seibel’s, enjoying their frequent celebrations, family dinners, and shenanigans. Though not one to seek the spotlight, Al’s infectious laughter often filled the room. Known for his playful demeanor, Al often delighted in sharing his infamous “bad dad jokes.”
In addition to his dedication to family, Al had a passion for sports, particularly the Edmonton Oilers and the Toronto Blue Jays. He also had a fondness for 80s music, especially bands like ACDC, RATT, and Def Leppard. Al also enjoyed and cherished spending time with his furry companions, Marlee and Willow, on their acreage.
Al leaves behind the love of his life, his devoted wife of 31 years, Lisa, and their three beloved daughters: Taylor Jeffrey, Sydney Jeffrey (fiancé Matt), and Alysia Jeffrey (Brandon). He is also survived by his parents, Bob and Luva Jeffrey, and his extended family, including Father and mother in law, Dennis and Mary Ann Seibel, sister-in-law Shelly Deunk (Richard) and their children Chad (Lacy) and children Livi and Leni, Brent Deunk (Kolbi), and Kaitlyn Deunk (Adam) and children Elianna and Liam, sister-in-law Paulette Bartusek (Rob) and their children Joshua Bartusek, Jordan Bartusek (Jenna) and daughter Landyn, and Jade Bartusek, along with brothers-in-law Denny Seibel and Brian Seibel (Lindsay) and their children Mason, Brynley, and Tatum.
Al was predeceased by maternal grandparents Edna and Vernon Garbe, and paternal grandparents Archie and Doris Jeffrey.
