Obituary of Jeff Shank

Jeff "Bodine" Shank, 67, of North Liberty, Iowa, reached the end of his journey July 29, 2015, at the University of Iowa Hospital. Jeff received the amazing gift of a double lung transplant in 2012, and lived his life to the fullest. Jeff was born March 31, 1948 to Robert and Rosemary Shank in Chicago, Illinois. He was the oldest of six siblings Kim, Mark, Luanne, Scott, Tommy, and Tammy. Jeff graduated from University High School in Iowa City, and went on to serve in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. Jeff worked at the VA hospital for over 25 years, but if you asked him he could tell you to the minute exactly how long he had worked there. Jeff is survived by his children Amy (Mike) Horns of Strawberry Point, IA, Morgan (Nick) Davies of North Liberty and son, Cody Shank of Iowa City, as well as his grandchildren Jaime, Jordan (fiancé, Craig Johnson), Addison, and Isley, which were his greatest joy.
