Sterling, to the late Henry Dee and Loretta Miles Thompson. Jeff was a lifelong resident who embraced the simple joys of life and the warmth of family and friendship.

Jeff spent many fulfilling years as a Warehouse Coordinator with L3. His reliability and willingness to lend a helping hand endeared him to colleagues and friends alike.

Jeff had an adventurous spirit, often finding joy in visiting flea markets and yard sales, where he loved to discover hidden treasures. He and his wife, Yvonna, shared countless delightful outings to local mom-and-pop restaurants, embracing the charm of home-cooked meals.
