Jeffrey Faulkner

Jeffrey Scott Faulkner, 50, of Union Bridge, Maryland, passed from this life on Sunday, May 2, 2021 after a brief illness.

Born on June 12, 1970, in Washington, DC, he was the son of the late Roland R. "Buddy" Faulkner and Dorothy Jean (Shannon) Faulkner of Mt. Airy, MD.

Jeff was a graduate of South Carroll High School. In 1988, he joined the United States Army to proudly serve our country. Basic training was at Fort Dix, New Jersey. From basic training, he was stationed at Fort Eustis, Virginia for his Advanced Individual Training (AIT) in helicopter maintenance and operation. His next assignment led him to join the 101st Airborne Division (Screaming Eagles) at Fort Campbell, Kentucky.

Deployment took him to Saudi Arabia where he was promoted to Sergeant and assigned as a crew chief on the Chinook helicopters flying their missions into Iraq to fight the Desert Shield/Desert Storm war. Army Strong does not begin to describe Jeff's love for the military and his country.

Jeff loved building models following in his dad's foot steps, his numerous Audi cars and trips to car rallies in Ocean City with his daughter. Madison. He was also an avid Pittsburgh Steelers and Penguins fan. (Go Pens!)

He will be sorely missed, in addition to his mother, by his daughter, Madison Mae Marinaro of Clark Summit, PA; two beautiful granddaughters, Raelyn Rose Cruz and Macy Mae Marinaro; also his sister, Liz Baker and husband, Harry, of Walkersville; brother, Kevin and wife, Judy of Frederick; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Jeff was preceded in death by his nephew, Robert Wayne "Boo" Faulkner.

The family will receive friends from 2 to 4 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. on Monday, May 10, 2021 at Stauffer Funeral Home, 1621 Opossumtown Pike in Frederick, Maryland.

A celebration of Jeff's life journey will take place at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, May 11, 2021, at the funeral home in Frederick with Rev. Tim May officiating. For both viewing and services, masks will be required.

Final resting place, with military honors, will be at Mount Olivet Cemetery in Frederick.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made, in Jeff's memory, to honor his granddaughters, c/o Ms. Madison Marinaro, PO Box 307, Walkersville, MD 21793.
