Coleman Funeral Home of Oxford
Mr. John Leath Halley Jr., 49, passed away on October 15, 2025 in Oxford, Mississippi. A private memorial service will be held at a later date. Coleman Funeral Home of Oxford is in charge of arrangements.
John was born on September 23, 1976 in New Orleans, Louisiana to Sharon Maxwell Eubanks and the late John Leath Halley Sr.
John was known for his vibrant personality and unwavering spirit. He had a unique ability to light up any room he entered, bringing joy and laughter wherever he went. His infectious smile and warm heart made him the life of the party, and he cherished every moment spent with family and friends.
John had a passion for watching Saints football, and Sundays were sacred as he cheered on his team with unwavering enthusiasm. He also loved to cook, often bringing friends and family together around the dinner table to share not just meals, but unforgettable moments and laughter.
A true friend to many, John had a remarkable gift for making connections. He could strike up a conversation with anyone, forming friendships that often blossomed into lasting relationships. His generous spirit extended beyond just friendship; he poured his heart into helping those in need, always ready to lend a hand or a listening ear. His love, laughter, and selflessness will be dearly missed.
John is survived by his daughter, Abrielle Wood (Robert) of Water Valley, MS; his son, Jasper Leath Halley of Como, MS; his mother, Sharon Maxwell Eubanks of Como; his sister, Amie Moffett (Jerry) of Water Valley; his grandson, Tobias Kadyn Woods of Water Valley; his niece, Autumn Willis (Jonathan) of Senatobia, MS; his two nephews, Christian Foster (Summer) of Abilene, TX, and Caleb Moffett (Jordan) of Water Valley; his two great-nieces, Anastasia Foster of Abilene, and Renesmae Moffett of Water Valley; his great-nephew, Austin Foster of Abilene; and his step-grandmother, Alden Halley of Mount Pleasant, MS.
He is preceded in death by his father, John Leath Halley Sr.; his daughter, Oakleigh Halley; his brother, Justin Edward Halley; his grandparents, Glenn Halley and Barbara Halley, and Dorothy Melton Maxwell and James Wayne Maxwell; and his step-father, Stephen Wood Eubanks.
