Jeffrey was born August 13, 1961 in Alexandria, Virginia to Shafaat and Carol (Holeski) Ahmed. He attended Our Lady of Lourdes Elementary and graduated as Valedictorian from Father Lopez High School, Daytona Beach.

He interned in Jacksonville and took his training in neurology at the University of New Mexico. Dr. Ahmed was a skilled neurologist and had practiced in Volusia County for about 20 years. He was a staff member at Halifax Medical Center, and Ormond Memorial Medical Center, and was practicing at the Daytona Neurological Associates. He truly loved his work.

Jeffrey was an avid reader and historian. Most of all, Jeff will be remembered as a person with a sparkly personality, and for his capacity to bring love, laughter and joy to the life of everyone he touched. He was never judgmental and was very generous to family and friends, especially around the holidays, which he loved. Jeff had a lively, witty sense of humor, and enjoyed entertaining his family and friends with fun-loving impressions. He enjoyed model ship building, Star Trek, sailing, and traveling on long vacations in the Rocky Mountains with his family.

His patients will remember him as a very knowledgeable, special, caring doctor. He is survived by his parents, Shafaat and Carol Ahmed, Daytona Beach; his three sisters, Naseem Smith of Denver, CO, Lori Blush of Monticello, FL, and Shehla (Victor) Milliron of Tallahassee, FL; by three brothers, Christopher (Anne) Ahmed of Dothan, AL, Sean, (Dawn) Ahmed of Ormond Beach, FL, and Mark (Lisa) Ahmed of Daytona Beach, FL; by his loving nephew, Christopher; and his three loving nieces, Noelle, Rachel and Sarah; as well as his favorite pet, Eli, the talking bird.
