Jeffrey Allen Tilley, 47, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, February 20, 2019. He was born September 4, 1971 in Goldsboro, NC. Jeff was a person of many interests, hobbies, and skills. He was someone who loved to work with his hands, always tinkering and fixing things both big and small. After several years of working in the auto body and painting industry, Jeff branched out and opened his own lawn business, Trimworx, which he ran successfully for the past 20 years. Even more important to Jeff, however, was his family. Jeff enjoyed spending time with his wife and two sons traveling, fishing, and coaching baseball. Jeff also had a large extended family and stable of friends that were testament to his kind, generous and caring soul. Nobody was a stranger to Jeff. He will forever be loved and missed.
