It is with great sorrow that I announce the death from cancer of my brother, Jeff Demme. He passed peacefully on November 14, 2024. Jeff died in his favorite chair, with the view of his beloved Bitterroot Mountains as his last vision. His dear friend, Paddy, was also at his side as he passed. Not a bad way to go!
Jeff had a great love for Montana. He also had a passion for his sky diving habit, with over 2500 sky dives to his credit! His crowning glory was achieving his High Altitude, Low Opening sky dive from 35,000 feet! At the age of 73!
Jeff was a Vietnam veteran who lived his life on his own terms and had many adventures. He used his carpentry skills all of his life and built himself a cozy cabin in Corvallis where he lived for 45 years.
Jeff is survived by his sister, Susan. He will be forever missed.
A celebration of his life will be held at the Stevensville Airport on August 23, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. Jeff’s sky diving friends will do a memorial dive to free some of Jeff’s ashes into the sky.
We will continue our celebration with a picnic following the ceremony.
