Jeffrey (Jeff) Jennings
Jeffrey (Jeff) Jennings was born December 27, 1968 at Lassen Hospital in Susanville Ca. He attended school at McKinley, Diamond View and graduated from Lassen High in 1987. He went to college at Lassen College and College of the Sequoias in Visalia Ca, attending classes there while working at Home Depot. In September 1990 his love of the mountains called him back to Susanville. He found work at the St Francis Hotel, before being employed at CCC as a Material and Stores Supervisor. Jeff continued his CDCR career promoting to Business Services Procurement Officer II at High Desert where he was employed until his passing on July 22, 2019.

Jennings and cousins Billy Jennings, Colleen, Loni, and Tammy. He had numerous second cousins.
Jeffrey loved football and played four years in the little grizzlies’ program as well as four years of Lassen High football. He was selected as an all-conference lineman his senior season. He was an avid pro football fan with the San Francisco 49ers being his favorite team.
Jeff craved all things outdoors including deer, elk, water fowl and upland game hunting. Most of his spare time was spent fishing, ocean rockfish from Trinidad Ca., trout, large and small mouth bass from the numerous lakes and reservoirs in northern California. He particularly enjoyed winter months fishing Pyramid Lake in Nevada from his pyramid fishing chair. Time spent with friends, whether throwing horseshoes or competing for big fish was a priority in his life. As with all fishermen Jeffrey enjoyed family, friends, food, cold beverage and a tall tale well told.
We ask all his friends to join his family at Lassen County Fair Grounds on August 24, 2019 in Jensen Hall to remember Jeffrey and celebrate his life beginning at 5:00 PM.
