Age 42
Passed away on January 29, 2024. Preceded in death by grandpa, Herb Davis; dad, Skip Hassel. Survived by mom, Pat Hassel; sister, Laura (Brian) Plantenberg; grandma, Mary Ann Davis; kids, Hannah and Jess Binsfeld and Aiden Hassel (mom, Tashia Lean); nephew, Thomas Plantenberg; many aunts, uncles and cousins and girlfriend, Laura Casland. Jeff was a gentle and loving soul who could win you over with little more than a playful smirk. He loved to cook and greatly enjoyed the time he spent working at Shamrocks and Louis. He was also proud to call St. Paul his home and was as true of a Minnesota Vikings fan as they come. Jeff fought a long and courageous battle with his traumatic brain injury, beating the odds at every turn. We want to extend a special ‘thank you’ to the angels at North Ridge Health and Rehab where he lived over the last 6.5 years – he adored his family that was created there.
Visitation 4:00 – 7:00 pm Monday, February 5th, at Roberts Funeral Home, 8108 Barbara Ave., Inver Grove Heights with a time of sharing at 6:00 pm. Graveside Service 11:00 am Tuesday, February 6th, 2024 at Resurrection Cemetery, Mendota Heights, with lunch to follow.
Every season, Jeff believed it would be the year the Vikings would take things all the way to the Super Bowl. We ask that you help celebrate Jeff’s life by wearing your purple and gold Vikings gear to the visitation.
