Jeff
Crowe was born on February 28, 1971, and passed peacefully at home in
Fletcher, Vt., on June 6, 2024, from complications of Alzheimer’s and
dementia. Jeff leaves behind the love of his life, Jinny Janesik, and
her daughter, Jasmine, whom Jeff loved dearly. In addition, Jeff
leaves behind two children, Arriana and Austin, who will sorely miss
their dad. Countless family members, friends and grandchildren will
also miss him deeply. Eve McIntyre, Jeff’s mom, will miss her son
forever. Their bond will never break.
Jeff
loved to play the drums. He was an accomplished drummer who loved his
heavy metal. He received his first set of drums at 8 years old, and
the house was never quiet again. He got his drumming skills from his
uncle Pete Mehit. Jeff loved to deer hunt and was an excellent shot
with a bow. He was also great with his hands, able to make just about
anything he desired.
Jeff
had a love for making tie-dyed clothing, and his and Jinny’s knack
for details turned into a lucrative business, Calamity & Crowe’s
Trading Post. He made tie-dyed tapestries that graced the stages of
many music festivals and T-shirts for Phish’s WaterWheel Foundation.
Their custom work was beyond compare. The next time you look at a
beautiful sunrise or sunset, know that Jeff’s still doing his
tie-dyeing in heaven.
Jeff
always had a smile for you when you needed it and would give you
whatever he had. Anybody that ever came across his path will grieve
his not being here. Rock on in heaven, Jeff. You are loved.
