MOUNT PLEASANT – Jeffrey B. von Horn, 76, passed away at his residence on November 13, 2023.

He was born in Gary, IN on February 4, 1947, the son of the late Harold and Arlene (nee Andersen) von Horn.  Jeff attended and graduated from St. John’s Military Academy in Delafield, WI. He then went on to Purdue University and graduated with degrees in mathematics and computer science.  He married Karen Lubecke on February 29, 1980.

Jeff worked as a systems analyst at JI Case for more than 28 years before his retirement.  He was proud to help design and develop the Dealer’s Automated Inventory Distribution System.

He also applied his expertise in mathematics and programming to pursue his hobbies. Jeff enjoyed gambling, especially at the craps tables, and developed his own computer program (“Barky”) to crunch data for his trips to Dairyland Greyhound Park.

Jeff is survived by his loving wife, Karen von Horn; his son and daughter-in-law, Steven and Amanda von Horn; his granddaughters, Sophie and Penelope “Pip”,  who affectionately called him “Grumpa”; his brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, Randy (Sandy) Lubecke, Marsha Lubecke, Miles (Pat Bohn) Lubecke, Kevin (Robin) Lubecke, Vicky Lubecke and Lana Lubecke; as well as his dear nieces and nephews, Matt, Jenna, Gina, Molly, Holly, and Mitch.

In addition to his parents, Jeff was preceded in death by his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Henry and Mary Lubecke; his aunts, Elaine von Horn and Bernice Pollyea; and his brother-in-law, Harold Lubecke.
