all four sports starting in junior high then grades nine through twelve. Upon graduation from high school he attended UNI, which eventually led to employment at Iowa Methodist Medical Center in Des Moines as a medical technician in the Emergency Department. As the years passed, he realized his real interest was in the medical field. Therefore he went back to school and earned the title Registered Nurse. Jeff then went on serving in the ICU/CCU departments at IMMC until he was unable to work any longer. Jeff was an excellent nurse and received many accolades for his skill and caring nature for his patients. He always had the time to listen to patients, who often needed just the kind of compassion he had to ease their fears. While sports and nursing were a big part of his life, his calm nature led him in many ways. He was a Big Brother and also serving as a care giver in CASA. He was an avid reader with a wide range of interests and believed that a book held in your hand was most important. As a result he had a huge library, larger than the house could hold. This also led him to a love of writing. In recent years he attended the University of Iowa's Writers Workshop summer program to hone this craft and to write several short stories. Jeff was also a lover of music, particularly the music of his youth. His collection of long play records is treasured. Jeff also loved to eat and true to his Norwegian heritage loved his Aunt Billie's kumla, followed by his Grandma's banana cream pie and apple pie, and his Mother's Christmas cutout cookies. Jeff is survived by his mother Marilyn Anfinson of Waukee, a brother Jon Anfinson(Amy) from Springfield MO; Aunts Linda Nutting, of Johnston, Linda Latimer of Boone; dear cousins Diane Andersen,Tim Nutting, David Nutting, and Shawn Latimer; beloved nephews Cody Anfinson (Jamie) and Andrew Anfinson. There are several great nieces and nephew as well as a host of friends that will cherish their time with Jeff. He was preceded in death by his father, Bob Anfinson; Grandparents Clyde and Vina Latimer, and Pete and Bessie Anfinson; uncles Jim Latimer, Jon Nutting, Don Anfinson, Dick Anfinson; and aunts Billie Wind and Bonnie Folden. Our most grateful thanks go to the UIHC doctors and nurses, especially Dr. Harry Hoffman and Dr. Doug Laux The wonderful staff of Legacy Point, Waukee; Hospice at home staff of Sun Crest, and Kavanaugh House staff. These professionals with such love and compassion cared for Jeff.
