Jeff A. Quist
October 27, 1977 — October 28, 2011
- Jeff Alan Quist was born on October 27, 1977, to Dave Whitlow and Carolyn Quist in Harlan, Iowa. He attended the Harlan Community Schools and received his diploma in 1995.
He became a mechanic and worked on cars and lawn mowers. If it had wheels, Jeff loved to tear it apart, fix it, and rebuild it. He refinished antiques, worked at CDS and Variety for a short time. He was a prudent shopper - always looking for a bargain and especially browsing on Craig�s List for items to trade. One of his routine activities was to walk down the alley to the funeral home for his "Pauley Pop" and taking nightly walks with Tina and a little miniature doberman pincher named Tooty-Boy that he loved!
Jeff was admitted to Creighton University Medical Center in Omaha, Nebraska, where he died on Friday, October 28, 2011, one day after his thirty-fourth birthday.
He is survived by his mother Carolyn Quist of Harlan, Iowa; father Dave Whitlow of Council Bluffs, Iowa; brother Jamie Quist and his wife Renee of Omaha, Nebraska; half-sister Amanda Whitlow of Council Bluffs; half-brother Chad Whitlow of Lincoln, Nebraska; grandmother Marge Whitlow of Lincoln; nieces and nephews; girlfriend Tina Jacobsen of Harlan; other family members and friends.
Pastor Dan Hawn officiated the 2:00 PM funeral service on Wednesday, November 2, 2011 at Pauley Jones Funeral Home in Harlan, Iowa. Serving as casket bearers were Lonnie Wirth, Mike Cooper, Mike Petersen, Mike Butler, Albert Carl, and Rick Fields. Interment was held at the Harlan Cemetery.
