Jeffrey Wade Border

Jeffrey Border "Anim8ted" left his earthly body so his soul could be at peace in heaven on September 20, 2022. He was born in Farmington, New Mexico to Lance and Teri Border on August 7th, 1988. He is survived by his loving wife Valene Border, his son Lyrik, his step-children Robert, Kayla, Joshua, Hailey, his little buddy Lil' Robert, his sisters Kristen Kennedy (Randy), Katie Abreu-Border (Mel), his aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and a nephew. He was preceded in death by his dad Lance, his brother Jeremie Border, his Grandmother Dema Simonton and Mary Lou England. I'm sure they were all there with open arms to welcome him to heaven. Jeff was a wild force of nature. He was a talented musician and artist. He started music in his bedroom during his early teenage years. Writing his own lyrics in stacks upon stacks of notebooks. He had NO FEAR as he stepped on stage to perform or being toe-to-toe in a rap battle. He was an aspiring electrician working at Clean Earth Landscaping with his best bud Brian. Jeff had plans to further his education and get his journeyman's license. Unfortunately for us, God had other plans and decided that he needed Jeff home. Think not of death as a villain who robs us of life, but as a friend who severs the silver cord with a knife. He leads us to another realm, one not nearly so small, where suffering is defeated and exists not at all. We will spend a beautiful eternity living there and be joined one by one, by all we hold dear.
