Jeff was a member of Hibernia Baptist Church since 2003.  He loved his Bible Class, with Ed Yirka as his teacher, and the loving support he received from all it's members. 

Jeff loved watching football, playing golf and tennis. He enjoyed riding his John Deere to have the perfectly cut grass. He loved plants and had the green thumb to make them grow. He also liked to play the guitar and act like he was Johnny Cash, singing gospel songs. He liked going to the grandkid’s ballgames and would shout the loudest.  Jeff was a loving husband, father and supportive Poppa. 

A memorial service will be held at 11:00am on Thursday, August 15, 2019 at Hibernia Baptist Church with Pastor Scott Yirka officiating.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Parkinson’s Foundation or Hibernia Baptist Church.
