Jeffrey Gier, 70, of Brant, New York, passed away February 22, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family.

Jeff was a devoted husband of 37 years to Terri (Schmitt) Gier, and a proud and loving father to Nicholas (Nicolette) Gier and Samantha Gier.  He was a cherished brother to Joseph (Jeanette) Gier, David (Evelyn) Gier, Dale (Kim) Gier, Beth Gier, and Brad (Lia) Gier, and brother-in-law to Dwayne (Amy) Schmitt, Janet Bossert (Dave Carlson), and the late Carolyn (James) Mathis, and a beloved uncle to many nieces and nephews.  He was predeceased by his parents, Walter and Eleanor (Catalano) Gier.

Jeff devoted much of his life to public service — first as President of the North Collins School Board, then as a Town of Brant Councilman for four years, and ultimately as Town Justice for 12 years.

Along with serving his community, Jeff devoted more than 30 years to Gernatt Asphalt Products.  Prior to that, Jeff owned and operated Gier Development, Inc.

Above all else, Jeff was a family man.  He was present, dependable, and deeply proud of his wife and children.  His legacy is one of service, strength, and quiet dedication — to his family, his work, and his community.

Friends may call on February 27th from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Wentland Funeral Home, 10634 Main Street (Route 62), North Collins, NY.  A funeral service will be held on February 28th at 10:00 a.m. at Wentland Funeral Home with a luncheon to follow at the Brant Fire Hall.
