Jeffery Allen Bonkowski, age 62, was known as Jeff to all that loved him. Jeff was born March 11, 1961, in Detroit, Michigan and passed away at Anderson Hospital in Meridian November 4th, 2023.
Jeff was married to Lisa (Ann) Bonkowski. They were lifelong sweethearts from the age of 15. After 42 years of marriage, Jeff and Ann have acquired a wonderful family. Jeff was born to Theodore and Mary Jane Bonkowski. He was the proud father of three sons: Justin (Sarah) Bonkowski of Manchester, Tennessee, Jason (Jessica) Bonkowski, Noxapater, Mississippi, and Jerald (Crystal) Bonkowski stationed in South Korea. Jeff’s greatest joys in life were his grandchildren: Anthony, Jarrett, Gavin, and Jagger. He is survived by five brothers and sisters: Debbie Bonkowski of Taylor, Michigan, Terry Bonkowski of Morehead, Minnesota, Denise (Steve) Lesniak of Livonia, Michigan, Raymond Bonkowski, Plymouth, Michigan, Tim (Deanna) Bonkowski, Taylor, Michigan. He was preceded in death by his Mother and Father and Sister, Alyson Howard.
As a specialist tool and dye craftsman for his father’s business, Jeff was certainly proficient with his hands. He enjoyed working for approximately 30 years in Taylor, Michigan before retirement to spend more time with his grandchildren and his sons.
Jeff was an avid outdoorsman. His passions revolved around hunting, fishing and playing a mean round of golf. However, bowling was a huge passion. As a 300-ring champion and a Junior Olympic bowling instructor, he was considered an expert in the bowling arena. His sense of humor would always brighten any room and fill everyone blessed to be around him with joy and laughter.
In lieu of flowers, a Go Fund Me page will be created and post later.
