Jeffrey S. Ostheimer, 57, of Sandusky, passed away unexpectedly early Monday morning, December 25, 2023, at his home.
Born on August 28, 1966, in Sandusky, OH the son of Edward Carl Ostheimer and JoAnn Isabel (Good) Flahiff. Jeff was a 1984 graduate of Perkins High School. He has been working at Certainteed, Inc., in Avery, OH for 27 years. Over the years, he enjoyed going out hunting, but he especially loved riding his Harley.
He is survived by his wife of 37 years, Diane E. (Weber) Ostheimer whom he married on July 5, 1986; his children, Tyler Ostheimer of Bellevue, Jessica (Stephan Stietz) Ostheimer of Sandusky and Nathan Ostheimer of Willoughby Hills, OH; 3 grandchildren; a brother, Edward C. Ostheimer II (Steve Andres); three sisters, Kathy (Steve) Tullio, Nicole (James) King and Amy Jordan; stepfather, Richard Flahiff; and his nieces and nephews.
Jeff was preceded in death by his parents; and a brother-in-law, Bill Jordan.
Visitation will be held on Tuesday, January 2, 2024, from 4-7 pm at the David F. Koch Funeral and Cremation Services, 520 Columbus Avenue, Sandusky. Funeral services will be held Wednesday morning, January 3, 2024, at 11 am at the funeral home. Rev. Wally Gilbert officiating. Burial will be in Meadow Green Memorial Park, Huron, OH.
Jeff had talked about volunteering to walk dogs for the dog pound when he retired, as every dog we’ve ever had was a pound rescue. I think he’d like memorial contributions to be made in his memory to the Erie County Dog Pound, 2900 Columbus Avenue, Sandusky, Ohio 44870.
