Jeff Franklin Gentry

I met Jeff at one of the many get togethers at Layne and Jana or Wes and E's houses. You could always count on him to bring chicken and a smile. He had a great energy and was a pleasure to be around.

Faye and family. I am so sorry for the loss of Jeff. He was a great man. I miss all of our dancing days and watching you glide across the floor. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Jamie

Our condolences to your whole family. We remember the great times in our dance group we had with Jeff and Faye. They were great dances. Always enjoyed watching them. Hold those great memories of Jeff in your heart. From Jim and Jeanie Saubert.

Dad was like a dad to me from day one. I remember one time my car broke down while Wes was out of town. He came to my rescue without hesitation. He was generous to a fault! I will miss making him divinity and seeing him smile when he ate it. Ill miss him something awful.
Dad, eat whatever you want in heaven and enjoy every bite! Rest in Paradise. Love you bunches!

I have lived my whole life with the security of knowing that, no matter what, if my life fell apart, I would never go hungry or go to sleep without a roof over my head as long as Jeff Gentry, was alive! I believe that has been one of my strongest assets allowing me to venture out without fear, take chances, knowing that if I fell he would catch me. We knew he loved us and he knew we loved him. Thank you for always being there, Dad!

I will always remember Jeff as a great person, very nice and respectful. He was one of the best role models his kids could of ask for! he left behind nothing but great memories to always remember!

Jeff Franklin Gentry, my Papa. So hard on the outside but a softie to his only granddaughter (at least for 14 years). He was a hero in his own right. A bank builder and a pilot. My memories of Wilderness Stew, pulling his hair for a dollar, his humming anytime he would eat, and doing pedicures on Special Grandma's feet. So many memories, that is all I have to hold on to now. I am so lucky to have those. I am thankful for that. Papa and Nana would fly from Alamogordo, NM to pick up my...

Greatest man I ever knew...

Whenever I think of my Uncle Jeff I always think of a whirlwind! When he loved you he loved you with everything he had. Some of my best memories of childhood were going to visit Uncle Jeff and Aunt Faye, always in a different town in a new state. I also have the distinction of being born on their anniversary. My deepest condolences to all who loved him.
