Jeffery was born and raised in Bunkie, La. He accepted Christ at an early age and was baptized by the late Rev. Johnson at 2nd St. Paul Baptist Church, where he remained a member until his death. On November 24,2007 Jeffery married the love of his life Melissa and together they created beautiful memories for 15 years with their 5 children. 

Jeffery attended Bunkie High School and later worked at Westside Habilitation Center until he became disabled. Anyone who knew Jeffery knows he loved to eat. Jeffery had a passion for family and friends. He never knew a stranger. Anybody that needed him he was readily available to help. Jeffery overcame everything with his strong faith in Jesus Christ and helped to bring many others to cleansing. He ensured that each person had the items they needed to be successful with their journey. At his best, he was the most unselfish person around.
Jeffery loved sharing with family and friends, and spent endless hours talking about the lord with them. He also loved to shop and picked at family members about being the first one to get something new. Jeffery will be greatly and sadly missed by so many, but will always be in our hearts.
