Jeffrey Jacob John “Jeff” Grein
October 14, 2025
GREIN, Jeffrey Jacob John “Jeff” – Of Arthur and formerly of Orchardville, passed away at his home on Tuesday, October 14, 2025 in his 66th year.
Loving father of Jake (Kaitlin), Breanna (Ryan), and Keaton (Mirary). Grandpa to Logan, Sadie, Connor, Ava, and Hannah. Brother of Dennis (Lorri) Grein. Sadly missed by his nieces and nephew and their families. Beloved son of the late Jacob (1989) and Phyllis Grein (2016). Predeceased by his brother Daryl Grein (1974) and sister Stacey Grein (1974).
Jeff grew up working in the family business, Grein’s Feedmill, where he spent many years alongside his father, Jake. Whether he was slugging feedbags or out on the mobile, Jeff took pride in a hard day's work and was always ready to lend a hand. His strong work ethic and down-to-earth nature made him a familiar and well-liked presence in the community.
Later in life, Jeff worked at Domingos Meat Packers in Arthur, where he became affectionately known as “Grinder” by locals — a nickname that reflected both his role and the fondness people had for him.
Jeff had a deep love for sports and community. In his younger years, he helped form the Orchardville baseball team and enjoyed many games with teammates and friends. In the colder months, he was just as eager to get on the ice, playing broomball with the same spirit and camaraderie he brought to everything he did.
Jeff had a heart as big as his spirit—always quick to lend a hand, no matter the time or place. He was the kind of person who would give you his last dollar without hesitation and never turned away someone in need.
Jeff’s memory will be cherished by his family, friends, and all those who had the pleasure of knowing him.
Cremation has taken place. Visitation will be held at the England Funeral Home, 294 Main Street South, Mount Forest, on Thursday, October 23rd from 7:00-9:00 p.m. The memorial service will be held at the funeral home on Friday, October 24th at 11:00 a.m., with visitation from 10:00-10:45 a.m. If you are unable to attend the service in person, you are invited to view a livestream by clicking on the link below.

Hi Dad,
Gods plan can sometimes take delays and detours to unfold but it all happens that way for a reason. When life gave you lemons you built a lemonade stand and made sure no one was left dehydrated. Our last words may not have been the ones we wanted but I love you and realize I didn’t say it enough. I always thought of you in key moments whether at my Niagara College graduation, big birthdays (dirty thirty), purchasing my first place and my wedding in 2023. I wondered if my thoughts ever made it to you but I truly believe god made sure they were delivered.
I know your pain has been lifted and that you are in a better place. Save a seat for me at the table. Look forward to finishing our conversation.
Love Keaton and Mirary Grein
