In memory of SGT Jeffrey Kleinsmith, US Army, US Secret Service, we are asking for support for Jeff’s family: his wife, Emily, and their sons, John and Grant Kleinsmith. Jeff joined our lord on Thursday, 22 October 2026 after 40 years of service in the defense and security of our nation. Jeff touched so many throughout the years of his extraordinary life and his loss is deeply felt by the people who knew and loved him, and especially by the family who stood beside him through his years of service and sacrifice. As an organ donor, Jeff has continued providing support by saving the lives for four recipients in the last 24 hours. Now, Emily, John, and Grant are facing life without their husband and father while also carrying the very real weight of everyday expenses and the future ahead.

Support from this fundraiser will help ease some of that burden by helping with tuition, bills, and long-term living expenses for Jeff’s family. Both of Jeff’s sons are in college, and this support will help give them and Emily some stability during an incredibly painful time. We are asking friends, family, and anyone moved by Jeff’s life of service to come alongside Emily, John, and Grant with care and generosity. Please consider helping provide for Jeff’s family and honoring the many years they sacrificed in support of their husband and father’s service to this nation.
