Jeff was born in Starkville, Mississippi, on June 3, 1974, to Wade and Barbara Spence Cherry. He was a hardworking person who would do anything he could for anyone. Jeff was a “best” friend to many; he dearly loved his boys and his dad. Jeff was an avid outdoorsman who loved to fish, even in the rain and storms!

He also leaves behind his father Wade Cherry (Betty Brown and Mark) and his grandmother Maxine Cherry Clardy. One of his greatest joys was being “Poppa Jeff” to his two grandchildren: Benjamin Walters and Lilly Lawson. He is also survived by a host of loving aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends all of whom loved him dearly. Jeff is preceded in death by his mother Barbara Spence Cherry, two uncles Sidney Cherry and Larry Spence, and his grandparents.
