Jeffrey Sander

Jeffrey D. Sander, 75 of Fort Myers, Florida died Sunday, March 31, 2024 surrounded by family. Born August 2, 1948 in Indianapolis, Jeff was passionate about family, golf, and Diet Coke - possibly in that order. Nothing made him happier than the love of his wife, time with his four children, and the laughter of his grandchildren. He was fiercely competitive at cards, board games, and putt-putt. Jeff’s mood was rarely blue, but two slices of Lou Malnati’s or a Portillo’s beef could immediately turn around his rare down days. As the son of librarians, he was a passionate reader - unless there were games of Tetris, Sudoku, or Monkey Wrench to play. Jeff worked for the Coca-Cola Company for well over three decades, climbing from a young hire at the Indianapolis bottling plant to a Director-level executive at company headquarters in Atlanta. He valued hard work and loyalty and hoped to pass those traits down to the younger generations, too. He was the youngest of three brothers, affectionately known to their kin as the “Three Fine Boys”. As children, Mark, Eric, and Jeff starred in countless family stories of low-level mischief and sibling unity. Sadly, at the end of their lives they would also be unified by a cruelly similar decline in health. To that end, in lieu of flowers donations can be made to http://www.alsa.org/donate/giving/gifts-in-tribute.html or https://www.livelikelou.org/donate



His family and friends will miss him dearly. Jeff was the beloved husband of 39 years to Cynthia; loving father of Angela (John) Mager, Scott (Tammy) Sander, Jennifer (Ric) Signorella and Nicholas Marzullo; cherished grandpa of Benjamin, Owen, Maren, Ava and Ricky; dear son of the late Harold and Edna Sander and brother of the late Mark and Eric. Cremation is private at the Countryside Crematory.
