Jeffrey Hazen
With heavy hearts and deep faith in God’s promises, we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend, Jeffrey Hazen, who was called home to be with the Lord on May 7, 2025, at the age of 67.
Jeffrey was preceded in his death by his father, Gale; and his mother, Margaret.
He is survived by his wife, Karen; his daughter, Jennifer (David Fay), and their children, Nicholas, Zachary, Haylee, Jenna and Daniel, his son, Daniel (Allie), and their children, Hadleigh, Grayden, Harper and Sloane; youngest son, Jordan (Jessica), and their children, Peyton, Paxton and Piper; and his sister, Sharon (Jim Ilersich).
Jeffrey Hazen was a man of unwavering faith who lived each day in humble service to God and others. His love for the Lord was the foundation of his life, evident in the way he cared for his family, served his church and encouraged everyone around him. He believed in the power of prayer, the truth of Scripture and the hope of eternal life through Jesus Christ.
He was a devoted husband to his cherished wife, Karen, with whom he shared 45 years of love, laughter and partnership rooted in faith. Together, they built a home filled with warmth, joy and God’s presence.
As a father, he was gentle, wise and steadfast. His children—Jennifer, Daniel and Jordan—knew him as a guiding light, a patient teacher and a source of strength. His love extended to his 12 grandchildren, who brought him immense joy and pride. He was often found sharing stories, laughter and prayer with them, passing on the legacy of faith.
Jeff was the owner of Hazen Contracting Inc., where he carried on a family business that has continued for over 98 years.
A friend to many, Jeff offered kindness, wisdom and a listening ear. His quiet strength and gentle spirit were a blessing to all who knew him.
Jeffrey Hazen lived a life of purpose, grounded in the words of 2 Timothy 4:7: “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” Though he will be deeply missed, we rejoice in knowing he now rests in the presence of the Lord.
