Jeffrey Allen Fox, born October 15, 1958 at Salina, Kansas, graduated from Epps High School in Epps, Louisiana. Jeff was a multigenerational retiree, serving in the Air Force for 20 years and retiring as a Master Sergeant. Some of his military assignments included Izmir, Turkey; Croatia, and Naples, Italy. After the military, Jeff worked as a Fiber Optic Technician and Manager for Raytheon for 22 years. He was a dedicated worker, waking up at 3 AM and commuting over 140 miles every weekday. His co-workers said that he never complained and always had a smile.
