Jeffrey accepted Christ at an early age and was baptized at Old Blue Springs in Knob Lick, Kentucky. He later joined the Army and left with an honorary discharge.

Jeffrey was a devoted companion, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, friend and employee whose kindness, strength, and unwavering love left an indelible mark on all who knew him. He dedicated his life to a career at Dr. Pepper for over 20 years and had a passion for helping others, always leading with integrity and compassion. His sense of humor, wisdom, and generous heart made him a cherished presence in the lives of many. He loved to watch and talk about sports. He was a big UK fan of basketball and a Tennessee Titan fan when it came to football. He also loved talking about being a grandpa.

In addition to his parents, Jeffrey is proceeded in death by Conrad and Velma Crenshaw; daughter Latesha Carey; brother Donald Allen; sister-in-law Sylvia Allen; nephew Samuel Pendergrass; and brother-in-law Marlon Montgomery.
