Jeffery Blake Donnelson
1983 – 2011
Jeff left us suddenly in a traffic accident on Monday, March 7, 2011. He was born February 17, 1983, to Lisa Nyland and Lance Donnelson, in Ogden, Utah. He graduated from Bountiful High School in 2001.
Jeff married the love of his life, Leah, on September 23, 2007. They are soul mates and were made for each other. Jeff would do anything for Leah. They had so many great times together.
Jeff was an amazing individual and leaves a terrible void in all our lives. He would do anything to help out his family and friends. Jeff always had a listening ear and helped many people through their trials in life. He never let it be known when he needed something because he was too busy making sure others were taken care of. Jeff loved riding his motorcycle, laughing, camping, hiking the outdoors, bowling, snowboarding, playing with his RC car and being an uncle.
Jeff is survived by his wife Leah, his mother Lisa Marriott and father Lance (Julie) Donnelson, brother Colby (Lisa) Donnelson, sister Amber Spitler, and nephew Brigg Donnelson. He is also survived by his grandparents Dot Nyland, Glen and Carol Donnelson, and many aunts, uncles and cousins. Jeff was preceded in death by his grandfather, Jim Nyland.

A gathering for friends will be held at the church prior to the service from 9.00 to 10.30 a.m. Interment at Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park, 13001 South 3600 West, Riverton, Utah.
