Not sure what to say?

Jeff was such a good man with a warm spirit and a loving heart. My husband Cline knew Jeff from their years at NC State studying and then working in agriculture. When Jeff moved to Shelby to pastor at Elizabeth, they renewed their friendship and I was introduced to him. I’m thankful for Jeff’s commitment to the church, his genuine love for others, and his friendship.

Jeff and the whole family were inspirations in my life! Loved you all. Bless ❤

Jeff was a wonderful brother by birth and by faith. I miss him but his light still shines in the many lives he touched. Thank you Lord for the gift of Jeff’s life.

Jeff was an amazing preach and human being! I will cherish the memories I have of him and his gentle kindness!

My husband Jack Champion and I were close dear friends of Jeff and his wife Jane. The two men both loved
horses, and sheep. We had many fish suppers together and enjoyed being in the Bible study at their home
in Kings Mountain as we grew to know each other over the years. Jack and I were baptized by Jeff in 1992
at Elizabeth Baptist Church together. That was a special day in our marriage and so important.I will always
have a fond love and admiration for my pastor....

I thank God for blessing me with an amazing friend, someone I could confide in, someone I could pray with and someone who gave me fatherly advice. You will be truly missed!

Jeff was a guiding light in my life
A great man of God

Paige, Quinne and all your sweet familieswhat a wonderful gift God gave you with Jeff. Please know you are in my prayers ❤
