Jeffrey Clyde Zeno

Jeffrey Clyde Zeno, 82, of Bella Vista, Arkansas, passed away peacefully on July 8, 2026. He was born on November 18, 1943, in Concord, California.

Jeffrey proudly served his country in the United States Navy from 1962 to 1966. Following his military service, he built a diverse career that reflected his strong work ethic and dedication to others. He worked for Kaiser Steel (later California Steel), Western Exterminators, and later enjoyed a successful career as a Realtor with Zeno and Zeno Real Estate Group serving families throughout the Inland Empire and greater Southern California area.

Jeffrey was preceded in death by his father, Joseph Zeno of Fontana, California; his mother, Dolly Neumeyer of Shasta, California; his sister, Diane Gilbert of Shasta, California; and his brother, Pat Zeno of Shasta, California.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Mary Zeno of Bella Vista, Arkansas; his brother, Mike Zeno of Shasta, California; his sons, Brian Zeno of Los Angeles, California, Chad Zeno of Las Vegas, Nevada, Zachary Zeno of Los Angeles, California, and Psalms Zeno of Neosho, Missouri; his stepsons, Brian Patrick of San Bernardino, California, and Jason Patrick of Apple Valley, California; 13 grandchildren; and 2 great-grandchildren. His legacy will continue through each of them.

Above all else, Jeffrey loved his family. He cherished gathering everyone around the table, preparing large meals, and creating memories that will be treasured for generations. He had a gift for making people feel welcome, never hesitating to strike up a conversation with someone new or offer a warm smile and kind word. He was immensely proud of his Italian heritage and found great joy in passing those traditions and values on to his children and grandchildren.

Jeffrey was a lifelong student of God’s Word whose faith in Jesus Christ was the foundation of his life. He continually sought to grow in his understanding of Scripture and encouraged those around him to place their hope in Christ.

In his final days, Jeffrey penned a heartfelt message for his family and friends that reflected the hope he carried in his faith:

“We need to remember that this world isn’t our home. This isn’t how it ends. Living in a world crushed under the weight of sin, evil and destruction. In reality, the world is getting so bad, why would we want to be here? Coming to grips with that is a good thing because we know the world is passing away—we weren’t created for this world. We were created for eternity.”

These words, inspired by the Gospel of John, serve as a lasting reminder of the hope, peace, and eternal promise that sustained him throughout his life.

Jeffrey will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. His kindness, generosity, unwavering faith, and devotion to his family have left an enduring legacy that will continue to inspire those whose lives he touched.

At this time, no memorial or interment service is planned.
