Jeffrey Allen Wacker, age 52, of O’Fallon, Ill., born March 25, 1972 in Fayetteville, N. Carolina, passed away at his home on August 31, 2024.
Jeffrey graduated from O’Fallon Township High School in 1990 and earned his associate’s degree from SWIC. Jeff was an avid sports fan with many interests, including current events, WWII history, and his Lumbee Indian heritage.
