Jeffrey V. Kiebert, 49

Jeffrey V. Kiebert, 49, beloved son, brother, uncle, entered into his Heavenly Father's arms on June 28, 2007, at Hope, Idaho.

A celebration of his life will be held at 3 p.m. on Saturday, July 7, 2007, at Meridian Gospel Tabernacle. The family suggests memorials be sent to Pine Acres Camp c/o Meridian Gospel Tabernacle, 1507 N. Meridian Road, Meridian, ID 83642.

Jeff was born Oct. 1, 1957, in Wallace, Idaho, to Herschel and Ann Kiebert. Jeff moved with his mother and three of his siblings to Meridian, Idaho, in 1974 where he remained until the fall 2006, when he moved to Hope.

He was a graduate of Meridian High School, after which he held many jobs and made lasting friends everywhere he worked.

Jeff could walk into a room full of strangers and leave with a room full of friends. He was best known for his infectious laugh and unending generosity toward all.

Family was very important to him and he genuinely loved all his nieces and nephews, taking great pride in all their accomplishments.

Jeff was a huge train buff all his life, even getting to help "engineer" them as a child. He was a bird lover, too, with a yard full of bird feeders and birds to feed. He'll be greatly missed by his many, many friends and all his family.

Jeff was preceded in death by his father Herschel V. Kiebert. He is survived by his mother, Ann; brothers, Jerry of Pinehurst, Idaho, Joe and his wife, April, of Nampa, and Coe and his wife Sandra, of Meridian; and sisters Gail Sorensen of Boise and Judy Blessing and her husband, Mike, of Nampa; and several nieces and nephews.

Family and friends are invited to sign Jeff's online guest book and view his obituary at www.coffeltfuneral.com

Arrangements are entrusted to the care of Coffelt Funeral Service.
