James Owen Jeffers Sr., 62, passed away on November 7, 2026, at his Mendenhall, MS, residence. He was born on March 23, 1964, in Port Smith, VA, to Cecil Milton Jeffers and Linda Ray Harville.
He is survived by his son, James Jeffers Jr. (Mollie); daughter, Crystal Melton; and four grandchildren: Rowan Jeffers, Rayna Jeffers, Sylvie Rigdon, and Bryanna Rigdon.
James is preceded in death by his parents, Cecil and Linda; brother, Phillip Jeffers; and sister, Cindy Jeffers.
James was a “family man.” He had tremendous love for his loving wife of thirty-six years, Beverly, as well as his children and grandchildren. He would light up any room he entered. He always carried a smile and gentle spirit like none other. As a young man, he was a boat captain for many years and loved to be out at sea. He had many friends, a lot of them being his NASCAR “buddies.” James will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
A private memorial service will be held by the family at a later date.
