Cherished husband to Sally Juden, loving father of Sam (Josée) and Maple, son of proud parents Sandra (née Heaphy) and Edsel Sloan, big brother to Jenny (Greg) and Jim (Donna).  Uncle Jefé to Lyndon, Molly, Hunter and Jack.  Son-in-law to David (Niza) brother-in-law to Leslie (Ted), Luc, and predeceased by Sally’s mother Rosemary and sister Lynda.

Jeff died peacefully at home literally surrounded by his family and friends. Born on April 30, 1967, he spent a very happy early childhood in the Crystal Beach neighbourhood before the family moved to a new home built on the family farm in Beckett’s Landing, Kemptville.  Jeff could not have had a better place to grow up, with a large extended family of aunts, uncles and cousins whose legendary adventures provided Jeff with his early story telling material.

As a teenager Jeff chose to pursue a career in Accounting, and while he was very happy everywhere he worked, it was his years at The National Arts Centre that were his favourite.  He enjoyed the professional challenges, but he especially liked working in a place where you might have a chance encounter with a favourite Canadian actor, or even a hallway full of four foot tall mice waiting for rehearsal.

Jeff had many interests over the years including fishing, woodwork, small watercraft restoration, alpine and cross country skiing, biking, crosswords, and always hockey.  Jeff played in many leagues, shared his love of the game with a wide variety of players, and was always available to help kit out a new player.  He was coach to a generation of Ottawa Centre Hockey and CORA Ringette players.  In the neighbourhood that he loved, Jeff was always generous with his time and his tools, and was the go to guy for fire, floods and mortally injured urban wildlife.

Jeff will be missed by all who knew and loved him so well.

Please join us at Beechwood Cemetery, 280 Beechwood Ave. Ottawa

    I’m so sorry to hear of Jeff’s passing. I worked with him for several years at the NAC. He could always be counted on for a good story and a laugh. My sincere condolences to his family.

  6. Anne Scotton

    It is a very sad shock to lose Jeff as a neighbour and a friend. Through hockey and gardening and tales over the fence he always had advice and ideas and support for everyone he knew. I will miss his lovely smile and mischevious observations. Love to Sally, his whole family and sincere condolences.

  7. Jennifer Covert

    I’m so sorry to hear of Jeff’s passing. He was a great colleague and made our days at the NAC brighter as he always had time for a chat, a story or a joke when you met him in the hallways. I was also grateful for the work he did on the volunteer Board of a Company of Fools. He will be missed.

  10. Carl Martin

    I am deeply saddened by the news of Jeff’s passing. I had the opportunity to work with him at the Ottawa Hospital Foundation and the NAC. He was always good natured and had a joyous spirit. I still smile when I think of the time he dressed up as Buzz Lightyear for the Halloween office party. My condolences to his family and all those who loved him.

  11. Nelson Borges

    My deepest condolences to Jeff’s family, what a great guy!!!!
    I will miss him, his stories and hockey talk. It was nice to hear his voice recently, he called me to chit chat and see how things were going at the NAC. Lunch in the Greenroom is not the same with out his humour and loud laugh, I miss those days!!
    Rest in peace my friend and God Bless…..

    I am so sorry to learn of Jeff’s passing. I knew Jeff during his years at the NAC – he was a terrific colleague, someone who could make a hard day better. He was also a very proud dad. My sincere condolences to Jeff’s family and friends at this very sad time.

  15. Jen Pylypa

    Gordon Street will not be the same without Jeff’s stories, charm, and sidewalk chats (as well as his good neighbour/handyman skills) – thinking of you all, Sally, Sam, Maple, Sandra, Edsel and the rest of the family.

  16. Maureen Faulkner

    Condolences to Sally, Maple, and Sam, as well as the rest of the family. I did not know Jeff, but the few times I saw him I found him to be kind, very funny with a lovely smile. Gone too soon.

  18. Peter Kealey

    It was always a good day seeing Jeff in the green room. You never knew where the conversation was going to go but you knew it would be one the best 1/2 hours of your day. He spoke often of his amazing family and we learned often from each other. Jeff was one of a kind and very kind with his time.

  19. Machi Marinou-Bleeker

    We will miss Jeff’s smile and calm advice on just about everything during our morning park exercises.
    My deepest condolences to his family.
