Honor Big Jeff Weiland & Support Luke's Legacy

With deep sadness and immense love, we share the passing of Jeffery John Weiland, Sr., who left us on July 24, 2025, in Salem, Wisconsin, surrounded by his devoted family. Jeff was 67.

Born in Milwaukee on December 15, 1957, and raised in Whitefish Bay, Jeff was a proud Wisconsinite through and through—loyal to his community, passionate about the Packers and Badgers, and always happiest near a lake with a fishing pole in hand. He held degrees in Economics and Business Administration from the University of Wisconsin and built a successful and respected career in operations and sales leadership at Ford, Grainger, and Edward Don.

More than his accomplishments in business, Jeff’s greatest joy was his family. He was a devoted husband to Heidi, a loving father to JJ (Molly), Kyle (Eve), and Luke (who preceded him in death), and a proud grandfather to Jack and Ben—with another grandson joyfully expected this October for Kyle and Eve. His strength, loyalty, and unwavering love left a lasting mark on all who knew him.

In lieu of flowers or traditional memorials, we invite you to donate to The Luke Weiland Foundation in honor of Jeff’s life.

Established in memory of his beloved son Luke, this foundation provides scholarships to the Kessel Heat AAU Basketball Program and to the Tecumseh YMCA summer camp that Luke cherished in his youth. These scholarships help young athletes and campers experience the same joy, growth, and camaraderie that shaped Luke’s life—values Jeff held dear as a father and role model.
