Jeffery Jerome Hay

Obituary for Jeffery Jerome Hay In the quiet embrace of Houston, Texas, on July 3, 2025, the world lost a shining star-Jeffery Jerome Hay, a man whose laughter echoed through the hearts of those he loved. Born on April 18, 1971, in Bastrop, Louisiana, he carried with him the warmth of his Southern roots and a spirit that danced like the sunlight filtering through tall pine trees. Jeffery was many things to many people-an unyielding brother, a devoted father to his daughter Keyanna, a doting grandfather to his grandchild Ezekiel Scott Hay, and a cherished friend to all who had the pleasure of knowing him. He navigated life's ups and downs with kindness and generosity, always ready to lend a helping hand or share a hearty joke that brought smiles and joy to those around him. His family-Kelvin, Yolanda, and Angelicque, along with the memories of his late siblings Antonio and Veda-has been shaped by his unwavering loyalty and vibrant spirit. Every family gathering was imbued with his playful energy, especially as he gathered around the pool table or sang karaoke, his voice mingling with nature's chorus. He found solace and joy in the great outdoors, whether fishing at dawn or camping under the stars, always reveling in the beauty that life offered. Jeffery's journey will continue on July 18, 2025, when family and friends gather at North Park Crematory in Kingwood, Texas, at 10:00 AM, united in remembrance. Arriving 30 minutes early will allow them to honor his memory in a short viewing, sharing final goodbyes with a man who filled their lives with laughter and love. Though he has departed from this earthly realm, Jeffery will forever live on in the tales shared around the table, in the quiet moments of reflection, and in the laughter that echoes wherever his spirit touches. His legacy is one of love, nature's beauty, and the joy of living life to the fullest, reminding us all to find light in each moment and to cherish those we hold dear.
