Jeffery Serge Ballif

2/24/1959 – 6/27/2015 (age 56)

Jeffery Serge Ballif, our beloved husband, father and papa, was welcomed into the loving arms of his Savior on Saturday, June 27, 2015. He was born to Don and LaNece Ballif on February 24, 1959 in Preston, Idaho.

He served an honorable mission for his church in San Jose, California, and returned home to attend Brigham Young University to study software engineering. He married his sweetheart, Carole Ann Burton in the Logan Temple on September 22, 1982. Together they raised three beautiful daughters, and two handsome sons.

He loved spending time with family, especially his beloved grandchildren. His giving and selfless nature drove him to serve others whenever he had a spare moment. There was nothing that could stand in his way once he began a project for one of his family members or friends. He was a man of integrity who had a deep love for the gospel of Jesus Christ, and could often be found serving in church callings or in the temple. He loved to travel with his wife–together they enjoyed trips to Switzerland, France, the Eastern States, and had a special love for Hawai’i. Jeff will be truly missed by all who knew him.

He was preceded in death by his father, Don Ballif, and is survived by his mother, LaNece, his adoring wife, Carole, daughters: Jennifer (John) Lott, Kimberly (Todd) Perkins, Heather (Chris) Hadley, sons: Austin and Ryan, grandchildren: Cameron, Carsen, Brynlee, Ellie, and Clara, two brothers: Mark (Jill) and Todd (Lynette), four sisters: Donece (Neil) Spencer, Verena (Klayne) Rasmussen, Karen (Dorran) Sampson and Lisa (Steve) Coy, and many nieces, nephews, friends and relatives. Our lives are better for having known him, and without him, we will never be the same. We love you, Jeff (Papa).  

Viewings will be held Wednesday, July 1st from 6 to 8 pm at Russon Brothers Mortuary, 1941 N Main Street, Farmington, Utah and Thursday, July 2nd from 9:30 to 10:30 am at the Kaysville West Stake Center, 1035 S Angel Street, Kaysville, Utah, where funeral services will follow at 11 am. Interment will be held at Bountiful City Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in the name of Jeffery Ballif at Zions Bank to help the family cover funeral costs and other related expenses.
