Jeffrey Broberg

Jeffrey Broberg died April 12, 2025, due to pancreatic cancer. He is survived by his wife of over 48 years, Erica; brothers Bruce (Teresa); Steve (Sherry); and Bradley.

Jeff was born in Minneapolis and graduated from the U of M with a geology degree. He was a geologist and environmental consultant. Jeff worked in the oil business on the Louisiana gulf coast, and returned to Minnesota working at McGhie & Betts and WSB. He served on the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources for 10 years, was the President of the MN Trout Association, and served on the Board of Directors for Fresh Energy. He returned to school for a Masters degree in Philanthropy and Development, and then founded the Minnesota Well Owners Association (MNWOO).

Jeff loved to spend time outdoors: trout fishing, camping, canoeing, maple syruping, mushroom hunting - and was a vocal advocate for clean water in MN.

A Celebration of Life is tentatively scheduled for mid-May in St. Paul. Details will be posted here when confirmed.

Memorials preferred to MNWOO.

Ranfranz and Vine Funeral Home is honored to be serving the Broberg family.
