It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Jeffrey Lee Barron, age 54, of East Hampton, Connecticut, who died unexpectedly in his sleep of natural causes in the early hours of January 20, 2026.

Jeff was born in San Francisco, CA, on May 6, 1971, to Robert Barron and the late Joan (Bergevin) Barron. He grew up in Middletown, Connecticut, and graduated from Xavier High School (Class of 1990). At Xavier, Jeff enjoyed playing sports, especially basketball and volleyball, and he was a leader on both teams.

Jeff held a CDL license and spent his career as a truck and delivery driver. For the past 15 years, he worked for Primo Brands as a Route and Sales Representative, where he not only handled deliveries but also excelled in sales. He was admired and respected by his co-workers and customers alike for his strong work ethic, efficiency, and ability to make authentic connections with people. He was named Driver of the Year in both 2024 and 2025.

Jeffrey’s greatest joy and deepest love was being a father to his son, Lee, who is currently a 16-year junior at East Hampton HS. As a devoted single parent, Jeff prioritized and supported Lee in every way. He lived his life as an example of what it means to be a good person and a strong man at all times, especially in the face of adversity. Whether reading bedtime stories, attending pinewood derbies, encouraging Lee as he gained confidence and developed his athletic skills at the Parkour gym, or supporting Lee as he has become a successful runner and captain of his high school Cross Country and Track teams. Jeff was present for every milestone. Along with instilling a strong work ethic, he passed on his sense of humor and passion for life. No father could have been more devoted or better prepared his son for the challenges life has thrown his way than Jeff Barron.

Jeff could take apart and fix just about anything. He took pride in teaching and working alongside Lee on many projects. Most recently, Jeff remodeled their small house so Lee could have a true room of his own. They loved living close to Lake Pocotopaug and were in the process of building a floating dock to swim to. Together, they shared a love of music festivals and the outdoors, often spending time hiking, biking, and kayaking.

Jeff is survived by his beloved son, Lee; his father, Robert Barron; his brothers, Timothy Barron (Cyndi) and Blair Bergmann (Carol); along with a niece, nephews, and many cousins. Scott, Chris, Amy, Jay, Mark, Dave, and Scott and many other close friends are like family to Jeff and Lee. Jeff was an active and well-known member of the East Hampton community. He readily shared his time, skills, and positivity. Jeff’s untimely passing leaves a void that can never be filled, but his memory will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know him.

A Catholic Funeral Mass will be held on Friday, January 30, at 11:00 a.m. at St. Patrick’s Church, 47 W. High Street, East Hampton, CT 06424. Reception to follow in church hall. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the East Hampton High School to support the Cross Country and Track Programs. Checks made payable to EHHS with "In memory of Jeff Barron" in memo line.
