Jeff Robert Gatto

JEFF ROBERT GATTO age 54; loving father of Zack Gatto; cherished son of Robert and Roseanne (nee Ferrari); dearest brother of Jen Patete (husband Anthony); dear uncle of Cara Coladangelo (Nick), Gabriella, Mario and Robert Anthony Patete and great-uncle of Nino Patete.

Jeff attended the Cleveland Institute of Art and had a long and fun career as a Toy Designer with Little Tikes. He liked camping, football, volleyball and playing flag football. If you had something that needed fixing, Jeff would McGyver it back to as good as new!

He was a quiet, matter of fact and creative soul who also loved 70's and 80's classic rock. Jeff will be remembered for his devotion to his friends and family and will be missed by all who knew and loved him.

In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Jeff may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105, HERE.
