Although born in Newport News, Virginia, Jeffery Harrison-Pressey was a true son of the country life of High Point, North Carolina, where he attended Southwest High School. Raised there from a youth, he grew to find his life calling as an entrepreneur. Genuinely a self-made man, he started a grass cutting business with his brothers at 10 years of age. He worked his way up to management for a Wendy’s and a gas station in NC.

He loved fishing, something his father taught him. Although he didn’t have any children, he loved, cared for and treated his nieces as his own. He was a jokester, always making you laugh. He would make you smile about things that might make you cry or worry..he would hold both hands in the air and shake them both and say, “It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright!” One of his many sayings we will miss at family events!

He is preceded in death by his grandmothers, Joyce Benice Pressey and Cynthia Harrison Curbs, as well as his grandfathers, Larry Curbs and Ulysses Dove Jr. He is survived by his special and long time friend, Trent, his mother, Felicia Renee’ Collins (Thomas) of Florida, his father, Jeffery Otis Harrison (Patrice), his 4 sisters, Janell Evans (VA), Brittany Harrison (Mike) (NC), Danielle Lashelle Renee’ Pressey (FL), Desire Collins (VA), and his 4 brothers, Jalon M. Harrison-Pressey (T’osha) (NC), Cortez D. Harrison-Pressey (FL), Thomas Collins III and Kyree Collins (VA). He is also survived by his 2 aunts, Latricia M. Pressey-White (VA) and Valerie (VA) and his uncles, Ulysses Darnell Pressey (Tamesha) (VA), Antonio Damod Pressey (VA), Terry Harrison (VA) and James Collins (Shelly) (FL).
