Jeffery Ivan Belfield

September 27, 1959 – August 19, 2020

Jeffery (Jeff) Ivan Belfield, longtime resident of Sequim, passed away August 19, 2020, at the age of 60. Jeff passed peacefully at Olympic Memorial Hospital with his wife, Bonnie, and children, Dawn Schafer and Jeffery (Jay) Belfield, Jr., by his side.

Jeff was born in Tacoma, on September 27, 1959, to Donald and Betty Belfield. Jeff spent his youth playing football and enjoying time with his younger sisters, Tammy and Janet Belfield. After moving to Sequim with his family in 1971, Jeff worked at Traylor’s where he established lifelong friendships and met his wife, Bonnie.

Together for 44 years, Jeff and Bonnie raised three children: Jodi Lynn Gragg (Tracy Hoesel), Dawn Michelle Schafer (Robert Harris), and Jay Belfield (Rachel Belfield and grandchildren Mira and Cameron).

In 1980, Jeff founded his Evergreen Framers business with John Laurenson. Jeff spent 40 years growing the company and establishing lasting relationships with his customers.

When not working, Jeff loved to hunt, fish, and spend time with his grandchildren; he lived a full life in his short 60 years. He was a hard worker, devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend, who loved to tell hunting and fishing stories. The mountains and water were where he found his happiness. And anyone who knew Jeff knew that the stories he shared, as salacious as they sounded, were more than likely true.

Jeff is survived by his wife; children; grandchildren; younger sister, Tammy; and many cherished friends.

In lieu of flowers, please donate to Seattle Cancer Care Alliance in Jeff’s memory.

In 1990 Ines and Claude retired to Sequim Washington, where they built a small farm complete with a trout pond that local children as well as Ines’s three grandchildren loved to fish in.

Active members of Trinity United Methodist Church, Ines and Claude helped with many fundraisers and monthly kitchen duties. They also were on a board that worked for years to refurbish the Dungeness School house.

She is survived by her devoted husband, Claude, her daughter Brenda, her brothers Carl and Clyde Woods, her sisters Donna Shaver and Linda, grandchildren Justin, Jenna, Jon, and great granddaughter, Avery.
