Jeffrey (Jeff) Gerard Kauzlarich was born on November 28, 1960, in Detroit, Michigan. At the age of 63, he went to be with his Lord and Savior on November 18, 2024. In accordance with his wishes, cremation has taken place. A celebration of life will be held Tuesday, December 10, 2024, at Marcus Grill, 55690 Van Dyke Ave, Shelby Township, Michigan 48316, at 12:00pm.

Surviving Jeff is his beloved wife of almost 41 years; Donna (Celmer) Kauzlarich, his children Aaron Kauzlarich (Molly Padrock and granddaughter Maya), his daughter Leah Wright (Zack) and Caleb Kauzlarich; his brother Keith and wife Carol Kauzlarich, and his sister Tamara and husband Joe Ulinski and brother-in-law Joe Miller.  He is the proud uncle of several nieces and nephews.

Jeff is preceded in death by his parents; George and Dorlene (Campoli) Kauzlarich, his brother Alan Kauzlarich and sister Denise (Miller) Kauzlarich.

Jeff’s greatest pastime was cooking. He loved to feed a crowd.  His favorite dishes were spaghetti, leg of lamb, smoked salmon, homemade pierogies and sausage, and pig roasts on special occasions.  Anybody will tell you that when Jeff was cooking, you come with an empty belly.  He loved his Detroit sports teams as well.  His favorite being the Detroit Lions.
