Jeffrey Jonathan Wable, age 66, passed away on August 21, 2026 after a brief illness.

Jeff was born on October 17, 1959, in Boston, Massachusetts, however, he resided in Akron, Ohio most of his life. He and his wife Becky met in September of 1985 and became friends immediately. Life took them on different paths, but time brought them back together years later. Jeff and Becky were married on June 15, 2024, in a small ceremony surrounded by family and friends. The happy couple were all smiles and danced the night away!

In 1977, Jeff graduated from Firestone High School and went on to attend the University of Akron. Jeff was an amazing athlete. In high school, he was recognized as an All-City athlete in football. He later became interested in running and cycling and excelled in both. Jeff participated in countless races and once he crossed the finish line, would go back to help others finish. He rode his bike everywhere and retired from Eddy's Bike Shop after 25 years of service. Jeff was an incredible photographer and did work for several commercial contracts as well as taking great joy in candid shots of his sons, friends, Becky, and their "hounds"; Tatey Bear, Spike, and [deceased] Chumdog. He loved being outdoors; camping, kayaking, and fishing.

Jeff was thoughtful, witty, bright, and extremely funny. He was known to do random acts of kindness. Jeff doted on Becky. On the days that Becky went to work, Jeff always packed her lunch and surprised her often by bringing her coffee from Dunkin' Donuts or sending her flowers. Becky and Jeff relished running and biking together, walking their dogs, going to dinner, entertaining friends, and traveling to their favorite spot, Ocracoke Island, North Carolina. Jeff was the love of her life, and he will forever be part of Becky's heart and soul.

Jeff is survived by his loving wife Becky, son Jacob Wable, granddaughters Iris and C.J. Wable, brother and sisters; Jack (Elizabeth) Wable, Marla Wable Bell, Mary Theresa Wable, Marilyn Neal Daylor, sister-in-law, Tammy Davis, former wife, Jane (Lutz) Wable Tomei, and many nieces and nephews.
