Jeffrey William Hawley

Jeffrey William Hawley, 45, of Casper, was called home to our Lord and Savior on Sunday, July 27, 2014 at Central Wyoming Hospice. Jeff was born June 29, 1969 in Casper, the same day six years later to his only brother. He often told Chuck he was his birthday present. He was the youngest of seven (7) children. Jeff was a graduate of NCHS, class of 1987. He moved to Fort Collins in 1991 and worked for Soundtrack Electronics. He went on to start several businesses including Home Theatre Solution and Cellular Link. Jeff met and married Jane Hoxeng on August 12, 2000 in Loveland Co. They gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Olivia Emma. In addition he raised her two boys Joe and Zach.

Growing up, Jeff was outstanding in many sports, but he excelled in baseball, where he played on several city championship teams. He pitched and played second base for the Casper Oilers American Legion Team. He was also an avid outdoorsman, spending a lot of his time hunting, fishing, guiding tours, and hiking, camping, rock climbing and skiing. He found great joy when he was able to share his love of the outdoors with children. Jeff enjoyed cooking and preparing meals for his family and friends while always making sure there was plenty. He opened his door to everyone. His true passion was telling stories. He loved conversation regarding history, his life experiences and once in a while a fishing tale. The light of his life was his daughter, Olivia. They shared time cooking, painting, watching movies and playing with their dogs. He taught her to love the outdoors as much as he did.

He was preceded in death by his father, Charles W. Hawley; and grandparents, Ben and Maclovia Cisneros and Frank and Effie Hawley. Jeff is survived by his wife and best friend, Jane Hawley; daughter, Olivia E. Hawley; step-sons, Joseph and Zachary Krile; his mother, Emma C. Hawley; siblings, Luella (Lowell) Hinderliter, Alice (Marvin) Boleng, Willa Perea; Deborah Willcox, Anita (Patrick) Kuharski, and Chuck (Susan) Hawley; numerous cousins, nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends.
