Jeffrey Kuehlem

Odessa, Jeffrey Kuehlem, Sr. finally moved on after a long night of fighting to live on November 4, 2010, at 5:08 am at Medical Center Hospital. He was involved in a motorcycle accident on HWY 385 and Mescalero Dr.

He was born on October 24, 1968, to Sandra Lee Kuehlem and Charles Francis Kuehlem, Jr. in Bakersfield, CA. He was a loving and strict father. He believed that discipline was important for kids so that they would be respectful and caring towards other people, as well as to their parents. His favorite thing to do would be to just take a ride on a nice day with his wife, Theresa Kuehlem. Anyone who had the pleasure to know him would probably say he would be a joking person always wanting to make people laugh. They would also probably say he would do just about anything to help someone even if he did not know them.

He was also so proud that he had two grandchildren, Thomas and Madison, from his daughter Riccia. Even after losing his mom in September, 2010, he did not lose a beat.

He is being cremated and memorials to be decided at a later date.

I JUST WANTED TO PUT A SPECIAL THANKS FOR ALL OF THE PRAYERS AND SUPPORT THROUGHOUT THIS. I ALSO WANT TO THANK THE ONES WHO STAYED WITH HIM UNTIL THE AMBULANCE GOT THERE. ALSO, TO JUAN DOMINGUEZ FOR CEMENTING IN THE MEMORIAL THAT JONATHAN AND SABRA CHRISAWN PUT UP ON THE HWY IN MEMORY OF JEFF.

He is also survived by many special friendsJoe Matheny, Debra Hartman, Dennis Irvin, Eddy Vinson, Denny and Scott whom he worked with at J and J Steel, Renee and Bonita, these are just a few of the ones I could think of , I know there were more. I do know that he was not in any pain at the time of his death.
