Resident of San Carlos
Jeffrey Amick passed into heavenly peace on February 17, 2015 at the age of 73.
Jeff was born and grew up in Kalamazoo, Michigan. After high school he attended Michigan State University and then joined the Navy and was an aircraft engineer. Jeff had several careers after his military service including 7 years in the California Highway Patrol from which he retired due to a severe injury sustained while making an arrest. He held management positions in companies in Silicon Valley and, for over 25 years, was a successful real estate broker in Danville CA, Scottsdale AZ, and for 15 years in Carmel CA. He was the owner of Realty World Monterey Peninsula Homes and before that was with Remax Realty in Carmel. Jeff was a kind, friendly, loving man who had a strong faith in God. He loved his family dearly and playing with the grandkids, walking his dog Gypsy, flying his plane, taking trips to Lake Tahoe and Yosemite were things that made him very happy.
Jeff will be forever missed by his wife of 35 years, Marlene VanDerBeets Amick. He is survived by his children Bryan Amick, Brenda Prevedel (Ryan) and Yvonne Wells (Scott). Survived also by his step-children Scott VanDerBeets, Ruth Brosius (Mark), Mark VanDerBeets (Sarah), Steve True and Alexis and Erin Norman who are part of our family as well. Jeff’s grandchildren are Summer, Logan and Jake Wells, Dominick Prevedel, Zach and Noah Brosius, Charlie and Jack VanDerBeets. Also surviving are sister Jill Wertz and brother Rick Amick. A Service of Remembrance and Celebration of Life will be held in April.
Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.
