By obits

 

Jeffrey Luce Sager, 71, of Belle Vernon, passed away suddenly on Friday, April 24, 2020. Born on May 27, 1948, Jeffrey is the son of the late Betty Luce and Harold L. Sager of Perryopolis. He is survived by his sisters, Carol Knox (late husband, Graham Knox Sr.) of Mt. Lebanon, Suellen Fitzsimmons of Bethel Park; his beloved wife of 51 years, Sherry Lane Beerens; his three children, Rachel Elizabeth, Molly Meredith, Matthew Jacob and wife Susanne Rose Forlano; dearly loved by Robert Ordell Ozenbaugh; and many nieces and nephews. The operator of Sager Coal Co. with his father and later Black Mountain Inc., Jeffrey was a successful businessman and a devoted patriarch. He loved hunting, farming, storytelling, making people laugh with his charm and wit, but most of all, his friends and family. A lifelong Republican and member of the National Rifle Association, Jeffrey believed in the American Dream and personal responsibility. His legacy will continue with his children as they follow his example. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a memorial service on the family farm will be announced at a future date. Any family and friends who would like to attend can email an RSVP to molly@sagermosaics.com and the family will notify you when the date and time that is decided. “I am the master of my fate. I am the captain of my soul.” — INVICTUS. Funeral arrangements are entrusted to PARZYNSKI FUNERAL HOME & CREMATIONS LLC, family owned and operated, 191 Liberty St., Perryopolis, PA, 724-736-2515.
