Jeffrey Howard Lisech

Jeffrey Howard Lisech completed his earthly journey on August 13, 2025. Though we grieve, we rejoice knowing Jeff is now in the presence of Jesus, reunited with his mother, grandparents, and other loved ones. There are no tears in Heaven.

Jeff knew the Lord personally. Like all of us, he had his struggles, but his faith was real. He would want everyone reading this to consider the free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ - the only way to eternal life.

Though Jeff lived far away in Alaska for many years, he remained close in heart. He never missed a Lisech family reunion and loved his family deeply - especially his father, Howard, whom he affectionately called his “hero.”

Jeff had a heart for people and made friends wherever he went. He loved to travel, often saying, “I’ve been there,” while watching the Travel Channel. He went on short-term mission trips and traveled with a church in Orlando to serve in countries across the globe. He even took a few trips to Hawaii to escape the Alaskan cold.

Now, Jeff has taken the most incredible journey of all - from a broken world to a perfect Heaven. He is finally home.

Jeff is survived by: his father, Howard Lisech of Mountain Home, Arkansas; sister, Sherri Means (Mountain Home, AR); brothers: Scott (Fredericksburg, VA), Bryan (St. Peters, MO), and Aaron (Portland, OR); and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by: his mother, Bonnie Lisech; aunt, Winnie Ryan; and uncle, Clinton Ryan.

A potluck lunch will be held at 12:00 PM, followed by a Memorial service at 2:00 PM, on Sunday, August 17, 2025, at Village Bible Church, 2200 Caxambas Drive, Cherokee Village, AR 72529. The service will be streamed live on the church's Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064488410544) for those unable to attend in person.

His parents were longtime volunteers with Samaritan’s Purse/Operation Christmas Child, a ministry close to their hearts. In lieu of flowers, you may consider honoring Jeff by helping send a shoebox gift and gospel message to a child in need for a donation of $30.
