Jeffrey Scott Sarrazin passed away July 19, 2026, at Bozeman Health Deaconess Regional Medical Center due to complications following surgery.
Jeff was born on March 9, 1969, in Livingston, Montana, to Thomas and Terry Sarrazin. His father, Tom, was serving in the United States military during the Vietnam War at the time of Jeff's birth.
Jeff was raised in Clyde Park and graduated from Clyde Park High School in 1987. He married Renae Loftice, and together they had two children, Josephine (Josie) and Wyatt. After their divorce, Jeff married Denise Hamlet, and they welcomed one daughter, Megan. They also later divorced. In time, Jeff reconnected with Carla Williams, bringing renewed companionship into his life.
In the early 1990s, Jeff managed Wilsall Hardware before working various other jobs. In March 2001, he began his career with Sibanye Stillwater Mine, where he had recently celebrated 25 years of dedicated service.
Jeff enjoyed riding his Harley and was a proud member of the American Legion Riders. He owned and operated his BBQ business, Sarrazin's Grill, creating many memorable smoked meats enjoyed by friends and community members. He was always willing to help his parents at their homestead and assisted every hunting season with cutting and processing wild game at Sarrazin's Meat.
Jeff was deeply involved in his community. He served with both the Clyde Park City and Clyde Park Rural Fire Departments. He was also President of the Shields Valley Old Settlers and a former member of the Livingston Roundup Rodeo.
