Jeffrey J. DeSimone, Jr.
Saddle River - DeSimone, Jeffrey J. DeSimone, Jr., 33, husband, father, and dear friend to all, died peacefully on Friday, March 8, 2019 at Villa Marie Claire Hospice in Saddle River, NJ.

Jeff's passions were simple. He enjoyed the company of his family and friends, traveling to any beach, or just being in the comfort of his own home. Jeff exuded a quiet strength and was always a silent observer, though he never missed a thing. He was an amazing father and sought to instill in his son, the principles of doing the right thing and enjoying life even through all of the ups and downs.
