Jeffrey "Jeff" David Poulton

Jeff, 74, of Fort Myers, Florida, passed away on Friday, October 9, 2026, in the company of his family after a long health battle.

Born and raised in New Castle, Pennsylvania, Jeff received a bachelor's degree from Western Kentucky University in Agriculture. In 1974, Jeff moved to Fort Myers, FL to be with family, where he later married his bride, Sally Allen. Jeff's life in agriculture lived on through his professions with Producer's Fertilizers, FRI, Babcock and Wherry Trucking. Jeff was a past president and on the state board of directors for the Florida Nurserymen and Landscape Assoc. Jeff enjoyed 25 years of September fishing trips to the Pennsylvania Club in Ontario, Canada with his brother Tom and close friends and 43 years of trout stream fishing in May in the west branches of the Susquehanna River in Clinton County, Pennsylvania. Jeff was an avid outdoorsman, fisherman and landscaper. Jeff's gift of laughter and love emanated through his life and career. 

He is survived by his devoted wife of 51 years, Sally; his children, Kristen Poulton and Ben (Andrea) Poulton; his sister, Lynda Prosser; his brother, Tom Poulton; and his beloved grandchildren, Brixton, Keegan, and Gage.
