A man of strong Christian faith, Jeffrey loved the Lord deeply and trusted God throughout his illness. His faith was a guiding light in his life, and today we rejoice in knowing he is at peace in his heavenly home with his Lord and Savior. Jeff will also be remembered for his devotion to his family, his enduring strength and the love he shared so freely.

He is survived by his wife, Melody Seay Hamby; daughter, Erika Hamby (Hannah Cummings); mother, Barbara Hamby; step-children, Dustin Greene (Lauren), Shasta Spitznagel; step-grandchildren, Ahndrea Eaton, Kadence Greene, Kelsey Bull, Austin Greene, Brayden Bull, Colton Bull; sister, Elaine Hamby Johnson (Leon); mother-in-law, Marcia Seay; his devoted cat children, Binx, Bella and Moon Pie, along with many other loving family members.
