Brandon Wayman Jeffs
June 3, 1981 - April 2, 2023
Brandon passed away on Sunday, April 2nd 2023, at the age of 41.
Brandon was born on June 3rd, 1981 in Sandy, Utah to Susan and Ward Jeffs. He was also raised by Sherie Jeffs.
He was one of twenty siblings in total, and the fifth youngest child of Susan and Ward. Brandon leaves behind fifteen siblings and numerous nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his niece Cheyenne K. Jeffs (1997), brother Clayne W. Jeffs (2001), brother David W. Jeffs (2005), brother Corey W. Jeffs (2022), father Ward H. Jeffs (2023) and all 4 of his grandparents.
Brandon grew up with his family in the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon, where he graduated from Cottonwood High School in 1999. After high school, he served in the United States Army and fought bravely in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, working as a satellite communications specialist in active and inactive duty for seven years. After being honorably discharged, he received a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from Western Governor’s University in 2007.
Throughout his adult life Brandon held many different positions. After his military service, he worked as a network engineer in California for several years. He also worked in the mortgage industry and as a business owner and co-founder of several different ventures. He had an insatiable drive for entrepreneurship.
Brandon had an adventurous, free spirit. He could most often be found with a big smile on his face, eager to talk and engage about an interest or hobby that had recently captivated him. He seemed to be the happiest when he was a part of something new, thrilling or exciting. When he had the means, he was always quite generous.
Brandon broke the mold in the way that he lived his life. He never allowed himself to become tied down to boredom and complacency. He fearlessly marched forward into any new adventure that life had in store for him. He was always quick to laugh, and never shied away from being his authentic, goofy self. He will be deeply missed by his friends and family.
