Jeffrey C. Schaefer
Jeffrey C. Schaefer of Ballwin MO, passed away peacefully on June 5th, 2022 at the age of 58. Jeffrey was born in St. Louis, MO on April 13, 1964.
Jeffrey is survived by his loving wife of 22 years, Angela M. Schaefer (nee Wakefield); his daughter, Courtney B. (Angelo) Surmaj (nee Schaefer) ; his sons, Jeffrey C. Schaefer Jr. and Joseph L.

Jeff was a loving and talented man. He was known for his stories and quirkiness. He passed down a love of music to his three children and was the best papa and uncle to his brood of boys. His life was full of amazing friends who are now left with no one to tell them his crazy stories. He is so loved by so many and will be terribly missed. He fought so hard for so long and deserves to be at peace.

I have such great memories of the many years we had together in the band. I saw Jeff a few times when Angie sold me my condo a couple years ago. I always planned to call and reconnect but just hadn’t gotten to it. Life is too short to let things get in the way of what you want to do. I had no idea he was going through this. I will miss him deeply.
Oh, I am devastated to hear this! Jeff was such a talented, fun and interesting man. We spent many hours writing and recording songs, hanging out, and playing music. My deepest condolences to Angie, Diane, Kim and the rest of his family. My prayers are with you all. Cindy (Scanio) Llorico
Mike and I are going to miss seeing Jeff at our upcoming long tradition of WOE; (Weekend of Excess) now in its 35th year. We are still looking forward to being with our group of long-time friends, that Jeff has been a part of since high school but we’re heartbroken he will no longer be a part of that fabulous tradition. I know we’ll tell, and hear, some great stories about Jeff; some of them, I’m sure, include a kiwi beverage and a boat. 😉
To Angie, his children, mother, and the rest of his family, there’s nothing we can say to take away the pain and heartache of losing Jeff so soon but hold his love for you all close and know that he’s with you always.
Rest easy Jeff
