owa State Sheriff's and Deputies Association, Law Enforcement Intelligence Network, Midwest Organized Crime Information Center, and the FBI National Academy Alumni Association, Iowa Chapter. He was united in marriage to Lisa Hansen on June 2, 1989, and the two would raise their family in the Ames area. In his free time Jeff enjoyed being outside, but you would more than likely find him just wandering the timber, or practicing his Archery on the farm, and was more often than not tinkering with his bow collection. Jeff was a proud lifetime member of the Iowa Bow Hunters Association and had hosted a collection of more than 50 bows. When not keeping quite hunting you could hear him a mile away blasting his favorite band Def Leppard. Jeff was instrumental in all the lives that came into his sphere and anyone that had the opportunity to call him a friend will surely miss his smile. Jeff is survived by his wife Lisa, children: Ashton, Austin, Adam, Andrew. Mother Mary, his brother Mike Dodds, his sister Mendy (Bob) Mingus, & his niece & nephew Jared & Molly Mingus. Jeff is preceded in death by his father, John Dodds. Online condolences may be directed to www.grandonfuneralandcremationcare.com
