Jeff Kertis Memorial

Jeff Kertis, a 12-year veteran of Tanknology who dedicated his career to being a Test Reporting Reviewer and served as a SW Ops Manager before that, passed away unexpectedly last week. He leaves behind his beloved wife Angie and son Warren.

His coworkers fondly remember Jeff for his unique ability to make them laugh and see the lighter side of things, even in challenging situations. An avid animal lover, Jeff often shared stories about his dog, cats, and parrot, bringing smiles to those around him. His interests included hiking, searching for stones, and watching scary movies. He was a passionate fan of all Pittsburgh teams, from football to hockey, holding a special place in his heart for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Jeff was a dedicated employee playing a vital role in the Tanknology Test Reporting department as a Report Reviewer for the NW and SC regions, especially understanding many of CA's regulatory rules and testing requirements. He wanted everyone to meet his standard of excellence and, through his work, tried to teach and instill the same sense of pride he carried for a job well done. Jeff's presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him, leaving a void in the hearts of his family, friends, and colleagues.

Tanknology has set up a GoFundMe for the Kertis family and will match all employee contributions.

If you wish to sell vacation time and use those funds to contribute, please send your vacation buyout form to Christina Gonzales, Payroll Administrator. You can sell less than a week, but please request in eight-hour increments.
