Jeff Ledford Obituary
Jeff was born in Copperhill, Tennessee, June 28, 1963. His family moved to Alabama, in 1976, and that's where he spent the majority of his life; however, Tennessee, was always "home."
Jeff was known to have daily talks "with The Good Lord", often sharing what had been revealed to him by his Heavenly Father. He was a great believer in the power of prayer and always gave thanks for his prayer warriors as well as those who cared for him at Alabama Cancer Care of Tuscaloosa and ACG Hospice of Alabama.
Jeff was preceded in death by his daughter, Adrienne Ledford Newman, and by his parents,
Billy Dean Ledford and Peggy Towl Ledford.
He is survived by his son, Colby Ledford of Turtletown; his sister, Donna "Sissy" White (Jay) and nephew, Trey White of Brent, Alabama; and his granddaughter, Aubri Thomason of Benton, Tennessee.
In keeping with Jeff's wishes, there will be no funeral service, as he donated his body for medical re-
search. Donations in Jeff's memory may be made to:
