Jeffrey David Lauffer, 47, of Everson, passed on Wednesday, May 30, at Presbyterian Hospital after being LifeFlighted on May 28 as a result of a motorcycle accident. Jeff was an avid rock 'n roll fan with a contagious smile and a great sense of humor. He loved to hunt, fish, ski, and ride his motorcycle. He was known for his athleticism during his high school years, serving as a member of the varsity football team, the wrestling team, and the captain of the WPIAL winning tennis team. In addition, he played trumpet in the concert band. He was also an Eagle Scout and served in the National Guard for six years, earning a medal for expert marksmanship. As a voracious reader and history buff, Jeff was always looking to learn something new, not only about history, but also about religion and survivalist techniques.
