Jeff worked for the North Carolina Department of Agriculture for 27 years until his retirement.  Upon retiring, he continued farming.  He was very active with the Wayne County Agriculture Regional Fair organization until his declining health prevented him from participating. Jeff’s passion was with the Fire Department.  His love for the Rosewood Fire Department, his fellow firemen and his community was unsurpassed.  He was involved with Rosewood Fire Department from 1983-2025.Jeff was an active member of The Bridge Church especially serving with the Usher Team.

He loved his family and they all were very special to him, especially his sons, Alan and Adam.  Melissa was the love of his life and she was made just for him.  Along side of Jeff, she loves his boys as her own and has been a good mother to them.  Her commitment and dedication to Jeff was evident throughout their marriage and even more so during his illness.  His whole family has been blessed by her the moment she and Jeff started dating.
