SARATOGA SPRINGS - Jeffery Robert Cummings passed away suddenly at his home in Dublin, Georgia at the age of 54. The son of Robert (Jeep) and Joan Cummings, Jeff was born September 21, 1967, at Ellis Hospital in Schenectady. Jeff was a graduate of Saratoga Springs High School and attended Northeastern University and later transferred to the University of Louisiana at Monroe.
Jeff was the middle of three children and enjoyed growing up with his older brother Jay and little sister Jamie. He loved all sports and excelled at football as well as track and field; specifically, the discus. He was a fun-loving, spirited young man who liked to play sports with his friends and family as well as have lively discussions about anything! He inherited the gift of gab from his father, Jeep. Jeff was a jack-of-all-trades and was never one to shy away from a new opportunity. He loved animals, especially his dogs, Skippy, Eli, and Biscuit.
Jeff was a proud uncle to his niece Keellyn. He loved to hear about her running accomplishments and was always there to give her advice on becoming a Division 1 athlete. Sneakers and running attire seemed to show up out of nowhere from her loving uncle.
Jeffery is survived by his mother Joan (Rich) Cummings, his brother Jay (Colleen and Keellyn), his sister Jamie and many cousins and lifelong friends. He is predeceased by his father Robert.
Funeral services will be private. Burial will take place at the family plot in St. Peter’s Cemetery. Online remembrances may be made at www.burkefuneralhome.com
