OBITUARY FROM BURNS FUNERAL HOME WEBSITE:

Jeffery J. McCullough, age 61, of Hobart, passed away on June 8th, 2020, after a short battle with pancreatic cancer.

Jeff was born on March 15, 1959, in Gary, Indiana. A life-long Boy Scout, Jeff attained the rank of Eagle Scout, at the age of 14 and visited the Philmont Boy Scout Ranch in New Mexico with his twin brother Joe and the first coed explorer post from Hobart, which is one of his fondest memories. Jeff was a 1977 Graduate of Hobart High School. Following graduation, Jeff enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and proudly served our country for 8 years. After completing his tours of duty, Jeff returned to the Region and was employed at Deitrich Industries and in metal fabrication for many years. He was currently employed as a contracted smoke reader for the Environmental Protection Agency.

In his spare time, Jeff enjoyed gardening with his brother Joe, experimenting with the perfect combination of just right flavors for their creation of salsa which is a family favorite of The McCullough Produce Company. He also enjoyed various salsa and chili cookoffs from various local pubs which gave him a reason to visit often. He was our family weatherman and considered himself an expert in the field from his time spent in the military in Cherry Point, NC.

Jeff is survived by his twin brother Joe (Tracy)McCullough of Hobart, brother Jerald McCullough of Ballydehab, Ireland and sister Sarah (Stephen) Canty also of Ballydehab, Ireland.
