Jeff was a fun loving guy, who enjoyed spending time with family and friends. The lucky ones were spoiled a bit, got to ride the Ranger, listen to him talk for hours or took long rides on the dirt roads singing along with the radio. Only the closest ones shared time in the boats and fishing in those secret fishing holes on the Tombigbee River.

He is also survived by nieces and nephews who will always cherish the fun memories and sweet smile of Uncle Jeff – Bruce Sansing, Amy S. Peacock, Brock Sansing, Alan Sansing, Ashley Sansing, Penny S. Mansell, Josh Sansing, Jennifer Sansing, Cate Sansing and nine great nieces and nephews.

Pallbearers will be Jeff Honnoll, Bruce Sansing, Alan Sansing, Ashley Sansing, Josh Sansing, Brock Sansing, Tom Peacock, John Mansell, and Lee Hoppers. Honorary pallbearers include Shirley and Bill Kidder, Devonne Smith, Bruce Myers, Employees of APAC-MS, and members of Still Hunting Club.
