Jeffrey David Buckley AGE: 55 • Rutledge, PA Jeffrey David Buckley, 55, of Rutledge, PA, passed away at his home on Tuesday, January 20, 2015, from complications of the flu. He was born in Teaneck, grew up in Rumson, moved to Rye, NY, and Dorset, VT, before finally moving to Rutledge. He graduated from Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School in 1977 and attended Saint Lawrence University. He began his career at Kidder Peabody, moving onto Salomon Brothers and UBS as an equity block trader. After a successful 20 year career on Wall Street, he shifted his focus to an alternative passion as a gardener at Sisters of Saint Francis of Philadelphias Our Lady of Angels Convent. He was a member of Monmouth Beach Bath and Tennis Club and served as Vice Commodore of Rumson Country Club where he helped revive the youth sailing program. Jeff was predeceased by his brother, Matthew Buckley. He is survived by his fiancée, Angela Kidder; his parents, David and Mary Buckley; his brother Jonathan Buckley, sister Katherine and husband Mark Hughes, and sister Sarah and husband Joe Richter; his children, Jeffrey David Jr. and wife Mary Pat, Grace, Peter, and Henry; and their mother Sara Henderson Buckley. Above all, Jeff sought an authentic life. He was charismatic, intelligent, and always curious. A life-long intellect, he could recite a Wall Street stock symbol as quickly as he could identify a species of tree. He was a kind, gentle, and humble man. He often found solace on his sailboat on the Navesink River or hiking mountains in Vermont, but more than anything he loved spending time with his children. He had a boundless love for his family, and his contagious passion for life will be sorely missed. Visitation will take place from 2 - 4 p.m. and 7 - 9 p.m. Friday January 23, 2015 at Thompson Memorial Home, 310 Broad Street, Red Bank. A funeral mass will be celebrated on Saturday January 24, 2015 at 12:00 p.m. at the Church of the Nativity, 180 Ridge Road, Fair Haven. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to an educational fund for Jeffs children. Please direct contributions to the Buckley Family Education Fund PO Box 8097, Red Bank, NJ 07701.
