Jeffrey Joseph "Jeff" Wiseman, age 50, of Battle Creek, passed away at home on Friday, December 11, 2020. He was the beloved husband of Amelia "Nichole" Wiseman. He was born in Battle Creek on June 22, 1970, the Son of Alan Wiseman and Katherine (Jim) Barnes.
Jeff was a very loyal, knowledgeable, and compassionate man. He met Amelia in high school and they were married on July 17, 1993. After graduating from Battle Creek Central High School, Jeff worked for Chapman's landscaping, moving on to a few manufacturing jobs. After retiring from those jobs, he went on to start a lawn care business with his son. Jeff loved spending time with his wife, children and grandchildren. He loved fishing, music, camping and the outdoors. He was a real animal lover, a collector, and a very talented artist. He enjoyed riding his redline bike in his youth. Jeff was a handyman and enjoyed landscaping very much. He was always proud of his work, a perfectionist if you must say, and he was really a jack of all trades. Family was THE most important thing to him.
