Jeffrey Keith Bonn, age 69, passed away in his home in Clarksville, TN, on May 3, 2025. He was born in Providence, RI, the son of the late John Joseph “Jack” Bonn and Eva Bonn.
Jeffrey was born January 31, 1956. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife of 30 years, Annette Louise Bonn.
Jeffrey is a former Marine Corps member from 1974-1978, when he retired to pursue his passion of raising thoroughbreds and start a family. His incredible love for horses never wavered. He lived that passion until the very end. Professionally, he was a true blue-collar man who worked in the manufacturing industry until he retired in 2018.
Jeffrey is survived by his brother Kash Bonn and sister Diane Cole; his daughter, Falyn Dimas, of Clarksville, TN; two stepdaughters, Karen Ciappetta of Ocala, FL and Kerri Walukiewicz of Fort Pierce, FL; 9 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. He also had many friends that were family and was beloved by everyone he ever met.
A memorial service will take place in Vero Beach, FL, in mid-June for the family. His ashes will be released at sea, where he will join his loving wife.
