He is survived by his children John Stearn, Tim (Christa) Stearn and Diana (Joe) Susan, and his grandchildren Julia, Andrew, Jacob and Annie. Cherished older brother to Christine Matera, Jocelyn (Thomas) Shetter, Patricia (Paul) Clark, Mark Stearn and Nancy Hruska.

Jeff grew up in Penn Hills, PA where at the age of 14 he was given a guitar by his Dad, which started his lifelong passion for music. He was a bass player in many bands over the years including Mike Lange and the Boogie Express, The Deni Starr Band, and Four on the Floor, and loved to play open-mic nights. Jeff was a faithful servant of God who played in the Praise Team for his church in Frederick. He served in the U.S. Navy for six years where he achieved the rank of Petty Officer First Class. He worked for DRS Technologies for 32 years and was enjoying his retirement. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him. Jeff cherished the renewed relationships he had with some of his children and was especially adored by his granddaughter, Annie, who will miss her ??Grandpa Groove' tremendously.

Slater Funeral Home, Inc., 4201 Brownsville Road, Pittsburgh, PA, 15227 from 10am-12pm, with a prayer service at 12pm.

    My heartfelt condolences go out to the entire family and dear friends of Jeff. I had the pleasure of working with him during his tenure with the Back Beat band. We were also political allies since Day One. Rest in Peace, Jeff. We will never forget you.
