United States Navy Engine man Fireman’s Apprentice Jeffrey Alexsandor Giovanni Signer was born in Flint, MI. He quickly grew up to show off his strength – often carrying his siblings around. He graduated from Bentley High School in 2017 where he played football, baseball, video games and spending time with his family. His true love was reading and you could always find him with a book in his free time. He was well-liked, had a sharp, witty sense of humor and happy laugh that made everyone around him smile.

He made the decision to join the Navy in February 2018. Jeffrey completed boot camp at the Naval Station Great Lakes. He graduated at the top of his basic engineering common core and earned the Distinguished Military Graduate Award as he displayed competence and character to his Navy leaders.

ENFA Jeffrey Signer was about to ship out to San Diego to begin his career in the Navy, but suddenly passed away from an illness on August 9, 2018. His unexpected death drew a huge response from his Navy family and those who just spent the previous months in boot camp training with him. Not knowing him for long, they were so stunned at the loss of this encouraging, supportive and strong young man that they reached out to the surviving family through the Navy.
