It is with profound sadness that the Borough of Tarentum announces the passing of our longtime Water Plant Director, Jeff Adams.
For 22 years, Jeff was an integral part of our community and a cornerstone of Tarentum’s public works operations. His knowledge, dedication, and steady leadership ensured that our residents had safe, reliable water every single day, a responsibility he carried with great pride and professionalism.
Jeff’s commitment to public service extended well beyond his work at the Borough. He was a proud and active member of the Fawn No. 2 Volunteer Fire Department, where he served in leadership roles and devoted countless hours to protecting and helping others. Whether responding to emergencies, supporting his fellow firefighters, or lending his expertise to neighboring communities, Jeff embodied the true spirit of service.
We will miss him dearly. Please keep Jeff’s family, friends, and loved ones in your thoughts during this difficult time. Tarentum is better because of Jeff, and we will forever be grateful for his many years of dedication and service to our community.
A celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, November 8, 2025, at Fawn Township #1 Recreation Hall, 1948 Firehouse Lane, Tarentum, PA 15084. Doors open at 12:30. A small service will be held by the firemen at 1 p.m., and the Celebration of Life will begin immediately afterward—casual dress to honor Jeff, please.
