Jay Jeffrey Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Greenlawn Funeral Home North on Mar. 9, 2026.
It is with both sadness and celebration that we announce the passing of Jay Jeffrey, who left this world on February 27, 2026. Born on September 8, 1957, in Kansas City, MO, Jay lived a life that touched many hearts.

Jay spent his career dedicated to the field of sanitation as a foreman for Fantasia, where his leadership and work ethic were admired by colleagues and friends alike. Although he completed his education in the 9th to 12th grades, his wisdom and life experiences shaped him into the remarkable man he became.

He will be deeply missed by his beloved family, including his sons, Shawn, Josh, and Brandon Jeffrey, as well as his daughter, Misty Jeffrey. Jay had a way of making each of them feel cherished and inspired, leaving a legacy of love that will continue to resonate within their hearts.

In honoring Jay's life, memorial services will be held, at a later date, where family and friends will gather to celebrate the joy he brought into their lives. Ceremony details will be communicated soon, and we invite all who knew him to join in the remembrance of a man who lived life to the fullest.

As we remember Jay Jeffrey, let us reflect on his laughter, resilience, and the many memories we hold dear. His spirit will always shine brightly in our hearts, and we keep him alive through stories, love, and the moments shared. We invite you to join us in celebration of his remarkable life.

Jay was preceded in death by: Charles Jeffrey, Lillian Jeffrey.
