Jeff Wilcox, born September 10, 1957, in McMinnville, Oregon, passed away at his home in Rockaway on March 7, 2026. He was the beloved son of Jack A. and Ola E. (Worden) Wilcox.
When Jeff was five, his family moved to Bay City, where he grew up. He spent most of his life in Tillamook County.
Jeff was a kind and gentle man with a soft spot for animals. He lived his life with quiet strength. He showed his love not through grand gestures but through steady presence, unwavering support, and the pride he carried for each of his children and grandchildren. He loved spending time with his family and friends, watching sports, camping, crabbing, fishing, exploring the bay and the beach, and finding old treasures. He always showed up with pride and enthusiasm to cheer on his grandkids at their many events.
Jeff is survived by his sisters, Leah and Tracy; his brother, Randy; his children, Jenny, Jessie, Jake, Jeff, and Sunday; and his grandchildren, Tanner, Cael, Sophie, Grace, Ashden, Addie, and Reese. Also survived by his 19 year old dog, PeeWee (who he always said would outlive him).
Jeff will be remembered and loved for his devotion to family and his calm and gentle presence.
