Jeffrey D. Meyer, 58, a lifelong resident of Cold Spring and Garrison, died Dec. 13, 2023, after a long illness.
Jeff was born on May 31, 1965, at Butterfield Hospital in Cold Spring, the son of John and Judy Meyer, and grew up in Cold Spring, where he attended Our Lady of Loretto School and graduated from Franciscan High School in Mohegan Lake. He attended Marist College in Poughkeepsie, majoring in Computer Science.
Growing up, Jeff was an altar boy with his brothers at the chapel at Mother Lurana Home in Garrison. As a teenager, Jeff worked for several years at the Graymoor Bookstore and also lifeguarded at the Graymoor Manor Country Club in Garrison.
Jeff had an incredible talent and passion for computers and, following in his father’s footsteps, worked for IBM as a software engineer and manager of an OS/2 Build Lab in both Austin, Texas, and Poughkeepsie. He was a devout Catholic and enjoyed spending time with family, reading history and literature, cooking, gardening, politics, riding motorcycles and playing the piano.
Jeff is survived by his mother, Judy Meyer (Bosco); his brother Jason Meyer (Alexandra) and their son, Ethan, of Pasadena, Maryland; his brother Josh Meyer (Federica) and their daughter, Isabelle, and son, Jack, of Ramsey, New Jersey; and cousin, Laurie Bosco, of Brooklyn.
Friends may call on Wednesday, Dec. 20, 2023, from 5 to 8 p.m. at Clinton Funeral Home, 21 Parrott St., Cold Spring. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Thursday, Dec. 21, 2023, at 11 a.m. at Our Lady of Loretto, Cold Spring. Interment will follow in Cold Spring Cemetery.
Memorial donations may be made in Jeff’s name to Butterfield Library, 10 Morris Ave., Cold Spring, NY 10516 (butterfieldlibrary.org/donate).
Saddened to hear of Jeff’s passing. I remember all the Meyer boys from St Mary’s in Fishkill. Jeff taught our son Patrick how to ride a motorcycle and my boys served with all of his brothers on the altar there as well at St. Mary’s. God bless the Meyer family.
