<p>Jeffrey S. Eberhard, PhD, passed away unexpectedly on August 4, 2025, at the age of 60. Born on November 20, 1964, Jeff was raised in Grand Island, NY, and most recently resided in Buffalo. A proud graduate of Canisius High School (Class of 1982), Jeff earned his bachelors degree from Canisius College in 1986 and went on to complete a PhD in Environmental Chemistry at the University of Cincinnati in 1995. In his youth, Jeff was a dedicated member of the Boy Scouts of America, achieving the rank of Eagle Scout, a distinction he carried with pride throughout his life. Jeff had a passion for gourmet cooking and loved preparing meals for family and friends. He was a proud Buffalo Bills fan and an enthusiastic lover of 1980s new wave music, often reminiscing about nights spent dancing at The Continental. More than anything, Jeff cherished his role as a father, his daughters Emily and Annie were the greatest joys of his life. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Stanley and Doris Klementowski and Adolf and Mildred Eberhard. Jeff is survived by his beloved daughters, Emily Eberhard and Annie Eberhard; his parents, Robert and Christine Eberhard; his brother Michael (Lindsay) Eberhard and their sons Mark, John, and Jack Eberhard; his sister Jennifer (Don) Keller and their sons Max and Nick Keller. He is also survived by his aunt Laurel (Don) Burger; cousins Melanie (Kyle) Kitchen and their children Cameron and Mikaela; Brad (Rhonda) Lunger and their children Misha and Ricky; along with many second cousins and extended family members. A Memorial Mass will be held on Friday, August 8th at 10:00 AM at St. Stephens Roman Catholic Church, followed by a reception in the church hospitality room. Jeffs warmth, intellect, and devotion to his family will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.</p>
