Jeffrey 'Jeff' Corlett
Jeffrey L. “Jeff” Corlett, 58, of McGregor, Iowa, passed away suddenly on Sunday, Aug. 8, 2021.
Jeff was born in McGregor on May 31, 1963, and graduated from Mar-Mac High School. He held various jobs working tirelessly—most recently as an electrician with UFP Industries in Prairie du Chien, for seven years. He had the kindest heart and greatly enjoyed helping friends and family, and spending time with his beloved dogs: Gunner and Floyd. He was well-known by all as an extraordinary handyman, and simply loved to generously help anyone—would do so anytime, anywhere, and without accepting any form of compensation other than a “thank you.”
Jeff is survived by his mother, Connie Corlett of McGregor; brother, John A. and wife Cindy (Mason) Corlett of Parker, Colo.; sister, Jolene and husband Randy Lucas of Lake Mills; sister, Jennifer Corlett and spouse Jenny Weltzin of Hayward; stepdaughter, Kirie Friedrichs; and five nieces and nephews: Hannah and Dylan Lucas, Megan and Molly Corlett, and David Corlett.
He was preceded in death by his father, John Corlett Jr.; and sister Judy Corlett.
Jeff will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who knew him. Thornburg-Grau Funeral Home and Cremation Service, of McGregor, is assisting the family with arrangements.
At Jeff’s request, no funeral services will be held. The family will be preparing a Celebration of Life in honor of Jeff to be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family would greatly appreciate donations be made in Jeff’s memory to: Rivers and Bluffs Animal Shelter, 460 Cliffwood Dr., Prairie du Chien.
