    It saddens me to post on TW on behalf of my father Jeffrey Beltis of Putnam CT. My Dad loved this community so much and each of you helped bring joy to his life. Jeff passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, Aug 20th. Cause is still unknown at this time. Some of his favorite stories to tell my children were about off roading with you. He loved to share photos of him cooking with you all at the local meet ups. I think his grandchildren were the only thing he loved more than his “taco truck”. While his email, phone, and social media are being monitored if you would like to reach out please send messages to jsbeltis at gmail dot com


    Thank you for everything you’ve done for my Dad
    Spencer Beltis

    9.12.23 edit: https://www.patriotledger.com/obituaries/pneo0558209

    For those asking, please see attached obituary for my Dad. Wake will be held this Saturday, September 16th in Putnam CT.

    My deepest condolences. It was great meeting him initially and seeing him at the local meet ups like the RI spot- back when that was open. Loved the second gen he had.

    I love my new truck but miss my Tacoma

    Spencer, I know this post must have been difficult to do but thank you for letting us know. Jeff was a great guy and will be very much missed. He was always happy to help me out on the Toys for Tots run. Jeff would always offer to have the trailer with the toys in it safely park in his driveway while we went four wheeling. I don't think he missed one event!


    Sorry i didn't take a group picture last year but he's in this picture from 2021. He's a little left of center with his beloved dog.
