He is survived by: daughter Kayla Leeson; grandchildren Devin'E and Leilah Ledford, Josiah Herron,; sisters Cynthia Leeson, and Melanie Adkins; brothers Randal (Mary) Leeson, Ed (Shannon) Leeson, and David (Jeannie) Adkins; Nieces Chandra Wilkes, Pamela and Cara Leeson, DeMicka Adkins; Nephews Derek Adkins, Charles and DeMarcus Snowden; Grand-Nephews Kaine Kennedy, Tere and Avante Wilkes; Grand-Niece Marley Garcia; Great-Grand Niece Jade Kennedy; and his ex-wife Kendra Carpenter.

Jeff was born and raised in Alliance. He spent his early years fixing cars and could often be found covered in grease with a wrench in his hand. There wasn’t a motor built, big or small, that he couldn’t repair. His sister Cindy loved watching him work and he taught her valuable information about car repair. Jeff also spent a lot of time fixing everyone’s computers. He always said, “If you can turn it on, I can fix it”, and “You can’t mess anything up that can’t be fixed”. Jeff loved traveling and spoke fondly of driving to the Florida Keys and Everglades NP with his wife Kendra, and driving home along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Fishing was another earlier hobby and you could often find him at the Walborn, Deer Creek, Berlin, or West Branch reservoirs. He liked his music loud and was always installing car stereos and adding additional components to his home stereo equipment. He even built his own powered subwoofer. He had very specific instructions for hooking up and calibrating his speakers when he returned home under hospice care.

The family will be eternally grateful to Jeff’s sister Cindy Leeson and friend Bob Biggar for providing loving, round-the-clock care for him. We are so thankful they were able to make his wish to return home possible.We will miss his sly smile and his dry wit. Please share your memories of Jeff at www.deansfuneralhome.com .
