Jeffrey Steven Lange

Jeffrey Steven Lange lived in Portland and was remembered by friends as an outgoing, well-liked man with a particular passion for golf. By all accounts in the public record, Lange was someone who drew people to him with a friendly, approachable manner; friends described him as “an all around great guy.”

Although detailed personal records and a published family obituary matching his exact date of death were not found in publicly available obituary archives, reliable public sources verify that Lange was 33 years old when he died on June 7, 1998. The civic record emphasizes the human details that friends shared — his enthusiasm for golf and the high regard in which he was held in his community — which help give shape to the life he lived beyond the facts of his death.

What remains clear from the available notices is that Jeffrey was more than a date in a file: he was a person who belonged to neighbors, teammates and companions who valued his company and remembered him for his warmth. That impression — of someone whose ordinary pleasures and friendships made life richer for others — is the most reliable and humane portrait available in public sources.

Because published, family-authorized obituary text matching both his full name and the exact death date was not located, this remembrance focuses on the verified, human details from civic and news records and avoids conjecture. It honors Jeffrey as a real person whose life mattered to friends and community members who described him with respect and fondness.

To those who knew him, Jeffrey’s memory survives in the small, everyday things he enjoyed and the quiet ways he connected with people. This page is intended to recognize him as a neighbor, friend, and golfer whose life, though cut short, left an imprint on those who knew him.
