Jeffrey Kuchera, 39 of Twinsburg, departed this life all too soon on August 8th, 2018.  Jeff was a graduate of Chanel Highschool and the University of Toledo earning a degree in Psychology.  In the most recent years Jeff served as an apprentice in the Cleveland Plumber's Union until he suffered a severe back injury.

Jeff took this all in stride and was preparing to pursue a career as a naturalist, a perfect fit for an avid outdoorsman.

Jeff was an enthusiastic supporter of the Boy Scouts of America and earned the prestigious rank of Eagle Scout.  As an adult he gave back over the years to the BSA serving as an assistant scout master, providing leadership and guidance for Venture Crew, and volunteered his time with Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts to share his knowledge and teach outdoor skills.

Jeff loved the outdoors and nature and was always learning and exploring new interests, his latest bird watching and building a bird sanctuary in the backyard. He always said nature cleansed his soul. One of Jeff's greatest accomplishments was hiking the Appalachian Trail from start to finish, allowing the journey to unfold, enjoying the experience to the fullest.

Jeff was a patriot, a foodie, a music lover, but most of all Jeff was a friend to many, loved by so many.  He was the kind of friend you would want for a lifetime and then some. Jeff leaves behind an imprint on our hearts.

Dear Son of Carol and the late Jim Kuchera.  Brother to Jennie Kuchera (Rob Rice).  Brother to Paulette Kuchera and Uncle to Zachary Kittle.  Partner to Judy Malafa.
