The Bakersfield Californian 
Sandidge, Jeffrey Allen     
1957 - 2005 
 
Jeffrey Allen Sandidge 
Services: Fri., Sept. 2, 11:00 a.m. 

A memorial service will be held Friday, September 2, 2005, at 11:00 a.m., at 
First Presbyterian Church, 1701 17th Street, to celebrate the life of Jeffrey 
Sandidge, who passed away August 28, 2005. Jeff was born on July 17, 1957, in 
Bakersfield to Lewis L. Sandidge, M.D. and Diane Danley Sandidge. He graduated 
from Highland High School in 1975 and attended Bakersfield College before 
deciding to travel the world. He spent the next 2 years traveling in Israel, 
West Germany, Greece, Turkey, Pakistan, Nepal and India. After becoming very 
ill in India, he returned to Bakersfield to recuperate for a year, and then 
traveled the next 2 years through Central and South America. In 1981 he 
returned to Bakersfield to visit his family and to earn money enough to resume 
his travels. On October 22, 1981, Jeff was electrocuted while helping to erect 
an oil rig in Santa Maria. Left without oxygen for a critical period, Jeff 
remained in a persistent vegetative state for the next 24 years. He is 
survived by his mother, Diane Sandidge of Bakersfield; his father, Lewis 
Sandidge of Osprey, Florida; his brother, Stuart and his wife, Rosemary of 
Reno, NV; his sister, Kate Rosenlieb of Sacramento; his brother, Jonathan and 
wife, Rhonda McWilliams of Bakersfield; his nieces, Staci, Trisha and Lisa 
Sandidge of Reno, NV. The family wishes to extend thanks to Rosewood 
Retirement Community, Jeffs home for the past 15 years, and to Hoffman Hospice 
who eased Jeffs passage to a new and better life. We especially thank his 
special nurses, Jacqueline Bijou, Hazel Kennedy, Della Carter and Rose Johnson 
who cared for and loved Jeff so tenderly. In lieu of flowers remembrances can 
be made to the Jeff Sandidge Scholarship Fund at First Presbyterian Church, 
1701 H Street, Bakersfield, CA 93301.
