Jeffrey MalcolmCLARKEOn 9th July 2025, Jeff passed away peacefully at Torbay hospital, aged 81 years, after a period of illness. Against all odds, Jeff bravely fought off serious illness early in the previous year, to enjoy most of his final year independent at home. In the final days before his passing, Jeff was surrounded by his loving family, old and new.
Jeff loved motorcars - with which he worked - sports, music and, particularly, animals and wildlife. He revelled in being in nature, and outside on the move. He was a brilliant conversationalist and storyteller, and taught his loved ones the value of being in the present and giving those in his company his undivided attention.
Jeff deeply loved his family, for whom he worked so hard and gave so much. He will be sorely missed by them - his daughter Karen, his son Ben, his sister Pamela and family, his granddaughter Freya, his children-in-law James and Felicia, as well as his many friends. They hope he is now reunited with his late wife, Pat.
A funeral service to commemorate Jeff's life will be held at St Andrews Church, Ipplepen on Tuesday 29th July at 12.30pm.
