Jeoffrey MohammedSHAHIn Loving Memory of Jeoffrey Mohammed Shah
14th October 1947 - 26th October 2026
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Jeoffrey Mohammed Shah, who peacefully leaves behind a remarkable legacy of family, friendship, hard work and achievement. Born in Kashmir on 14th October 1947, Jeff passed away on 26th October 2026, aged 79.
Jeff moved to the United Kingdom aged five, where he grew up and received his education in Wolverhampton. A man of ambition, determination and entrepreneurial spirit, he went on to build a life that would touch many people and leave a lasting mark on the community.
In 1967, Jeff settled in Wyken, Coventry with his first wife, Patsy. Together, they began their family, welcoming three daughters: Sharon, Karen and Yasmine. Their marriage sadly ended after 10 years and Jeff remarried Ibne and together they welcomed two children, Ascar and Sakina.
Family was an important part of Jeff's life and he leaves behind five children, eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild, all of whom form an enduring part of his legacy.
A true self-made businessman, Jeff founded Alfa Trading, building it into a successful and respected business through sheer determination, vision and hard work. During the 1980s and 1990s, he became a major employer in Coventry, with his large factory in Harnall Lane East providing opportunities and employment for many people. His contribution to the local business community was recognised in the 1980s when he received the accolade of Businessman of the Year in Coventry.
Jeff's journey was one of courage, perseverance and ambition. From arriving in Britain as a young boy to becoming a successful entrepreneur and well respected businessman, his life was a testament to what can be achieved through dedication, resilience and belief in oneself.
Beyond his professional achievements, Jeff will be remembered by those who knew and loved him as a charming and adventurous man who travelled the world and had many stories to tell. His presence, his journey through life and the memories he created will remain in the hearts of his family, friends, colleagues and all whose lives he touched.
Although his passing leaves an immeasurable void, his story does not end here. It lives on through his children, grandchildren, great-grandchild and the many people who were fortunate enough to know him.
Jeff will be deeply missed, fondly remembered and forever cherished.
