Born May 7, 1995 in New York City. Died June 23, 2012 in Amagansett, NY.

 

At the time of his passing at age 17, Jeffrey Ahn, Jr. was a rising senior at the Trinity School, where he was an enthusiastic painter, scientist, actor, two-time Student Senator, wrestling team manager, and president-elect of the Storytellers Club. Compassionate, loyal, fun-loving, and witty, he left behind many friends from all years at Trinity, a school he loved passionately and whose colors he wore proudly. Until eighth grade, Jeffrey attended St. David’s School, where he was noted for his artistic talents and his commitment to service.

 

In 2014, his parents and sister founded the Jeffrey Ahn, Jr. Foundation to celebrate the creativity and independent spirit that characterized his life. The Ahn Foundation supports artistic creation at its early stages, primarily through the annual Jeffrey Ahn, Jr. Fellowship, a creative production grant for emerging visual artists with ambitious visions.
