Jeffrey Lee Polson
Jeffrey Lee Polson, age 66, of Burton Township, gave cancer a big fight, but it finally got the best of him on Jan. 6, 2025.
Born June 11, 1958, in Chardon, to Robert and Jeannette (nee Fenton) Polson, he was a lifelong Geauga County resident.
He was a volunteer firefighter from a young age. He then went on to be a full-time firefighter in East Cleveland Fire Department in 1980 until his retirement in 2004.
Jeff was a huge Cleveland Browns fan, even in their worst seasons. And he loved watching the Cleveland Indians (they’ll always be the Tribe in his mind!)
He was so very blessed with his many friends along his path.
Jeff was preceded in death by both of his parents and his sister, Mel.
He is survived by his wife of 37 years, Annette (nee Richards) Polson; brother, Mick; sisters-in-law, Bonnie Richards, Debbie (Dave) Rennie and Paula (Hans) Geiss; and many nieces and nephews.
A private family burial will be held in the spring.
The family suggests donations to Hospice of the Western Reserve, 17876 St. Claire Ave., Cleveland, OH 44114 or go to www.hospicewr.org.
Cremation arrangements have been entrusted to Burr Funeral Home and Cremation Service. Condolences and memories may be shared online at www.burrservice.com.
