Jeffrey Byron Fannin

He proudly served his country in the United States Air Force for four years. He served in the U.S. Air Force Chaplain Corps and played on the football team. Jeffrey and his wife, Carol, shared a long-time love for shoes. Throughout his career, Jeffrey represented many high-end shoe companies both in retail and wholesale. He shared his passion of shoes with many family members and friends. He loved to fish and taught his sons his fishing skills and later enjoyed fishing with his grandson. He was an amazing cook who introduced many new and exciting dishes to his family. At Christmas, he gave everyone he knew coffee cake that he baked himself. His grandchildren have fond memories of Grandpa’s brownies. A special treat was an 8x8 pan cut into four pieces topped with ice cream and other sundae toppings. Both Carol and Jeff enjoyed spending time floating in the neighborhood pool.
