Jeff Clayton Cowin

Jeff Cowin, 64, of Lawrenceville, Georgia, passed away peacefully on January 25, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. Born and raised in Hoffman Estates, Illinois as the beloved son of the late William and June Cowin.

Jeff was a devoted husband to his wife, Heather, for 21 wonderful years. He was a loving father to his shared children with Kitty de St. Aubin, Nicole Hatchett, Maureen (Jen) and John Cowin, and Heather’s children, Ashton Walter (Nick), Martin and Patrick Baird (Olivia). Jeff is also survived by his brothers Chris and Doug, sisters Jenny, Caryn, and Allison, and numerous grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

Jeff was passionate about his work in the security business where for several decades he took great pleasure providing building and campus security solutions to federal agencies and private companies throughout the southeast U.S. Jeff was equally passionate in his love for music, gifted with an ear and sense of rhythm that gave him an appreciation for a variety of genres and a level of enjoyment only a composer might understand. In his free time, Jeff enjoyed music, sports (go Steelers), working side-by-side with his wife in the kitchen, grilling on his beautiful deck, Halloween decorating for the neighborhood children (which he started in August), and spending time with his family. He was known for his kind heart, keen sense of humor, and unwavering dedication to those he loved.

A visitation will be held on Tuesday, January 28, 2025 from 4:00 to 8:00 PM at Wages & Sons, 1031 Lawrenceville Hwy, Lawrenceville, Georgia. A celebration of his passionate life and personality will be held during the summer with close friends and family. Jeff will be deeply missed by all who knew him, but his legacy of love and kindness will live on in the hearts of his family and friends.
