On the afternoon of July 14 Jeff went home to be with the Lord.  Jeff passed peacefully in his home surrounded by loved ones after a short fight with ALS.  He was 67 years old.

   Jeff was born in Hayward, CA and moved to Ripon in 1975 where he still resided.  In 1979 he married the love of his life Tammy. They went on to have two children Reianna and Brett.

Jeff was a truck driver most of his life.  His last 35 years of employment he worked for Kings County Truck Lines (now Ruan) where he delivered Baskin Robins ice cream.  After retiring, he drove antique trucks to truck shows and was always so proud of the antique trucks he drove.  Jeff loved to ride dirt bikes and go camping with family and friends.

   Jeff was preceded in death by his father, Julio Delgado, mother Laura Barrett and sister Jeanette Silva.

   Jeff leaves behind his wife Tammy, daughter Reianna and son Brett (Melissa), his two grandchildren Emmalyn and Logan who were his pride and joy.  He also leaves behind a brother, brother-in-laws, sister-in-laws, nieces, nephews and cousins.

   There will be a celebration of life for Jeff on August 26th at Ripon Grange Hall,
