Obituary
Jeff was born on August 7, 1955 in Rush City, Minnesota to Peter and Evelyn Splittgerber Prax, the youngest of 8 children. He graduated from Pine City, Minnesota High School in 1974.
Jeff was employed at Johnson Brothers in Idaho Falls for the past 20 years. He called his co-workers and employers his family, recounting many fond stories of work and away-from-work experiences. He was well-regarded and is missed by his co-workers.
His favorite leisure activity was to take the 4-wheeler up into the mountains for a weekend, especially near West Yellowstone. When Keisha was alive, they spent many hours together in the mountains. Keisha even had her own goggles to protect her eyes when they were 4-wheeling.
Jeff is survived by his sisters Harriet Teich of Pine City, Minnesota; Claire (Ron) Prior of Dahlonega, Georgia; brothers Dwayne (Mary Anderson) of Eudora Kansas and Michael (Valerie) of Mora, Minnesota, many nieces, nephews and other family members.
He is preceded in death by parents Peter and Evelyn Prax, siblings Merle (Nancy) of Mammoth, Arizona, Jerome of Pine City, Minnesota and Romana Bobo, Muskogee, Oklahoma. His best friend and beloved canine partner, Keisha was called home 2 years ago.
