Jeff Nance, 61, of Winslow, passed away March 17, 2025 at his residence. He was born February 16, 1964 to Gordon and Frieda (Sander) Nance in Greenfield, IN. Jeff worked as a machinist supervisor as a tool and dye maker. He was a member of the Greenwood Masonic Lodge # 514 F&AM. He and his family traveled the country professionally racing go karts. Some of his hobbies were hunting and fishing but his favorite thing to do was to take his granddaughter out on the tractor and watch her in cheerleading. She always made it clear he was not grandpa, he was Papaw.
