Jeffrey A. Gaydos passed away on October 16, 2026. He was just 65 years old. His memorial visiting will be on Sunday, November 1st at the funeral home from 1:00 p.m. until 3:00 p.m. The cremation was held privately.
Born in Newark to George F. and Ann (nee Wuss) Gaydos - he lived most of his life in New Jersey; Kearny, Keansburg, Clifton and Toms River.
Jeff moved to North Carolina for a short while in pursuit of a new job that sought him out for his expertise. He was welcomed with open arms not only by those he worked with, but by so many new friends, especially his AA Group. Their love and support were life changing for him. He talked about retiring there to be closer to them. He considered them family.
When Jeff moved back to New Jersey, he became the manager at Caliber Collision in Cedar Grove, and quickly made a cohesive team of the people in his shop through his wit, charm and the occasional good natured competition over his undying loyalty to his beloved Giants football team. Jeff loved working there and became family to them as well.
Jeff was formerly married to Annmarie Gaydos and is currently the partner of Karen DePascalis who loved him very much and who will miss his steadfast support and huge heart forever. He leaves behind his sons, Ryan Gaydos (Kelly Terez) and Nick Gaydos (Krista Lyons), who he was immensely proud of. He was also the brother of Joe Gaydos and the late George Gaydos - both of whom he loved dearly.
Jeff was very close with his cousins Mike, Bill and Gerrie Gaydos and their sons; Ted (Amanda) and Tom. Jeff also leaves behind many beloved nieces and nephews. He will be sorely missed.
