Sylvester Feltner

Sylvester was born on July 24, 1951. He was a loving father, grandfather, fiance, brother, uncle, fishing buddy, and friend. To those who knew him best, he was so much more than the titles that could be written beside his name. He was a man who left a little piece of himself with everyone fortunate enough to know and love him.

Sylvester was preceded in death by his parents, Joe Jack and Rosalee Couch Feltner; his biological father, J.B. Johnson; daughter, Angie Morris; brothers, Jimmy Feltner and Billy Ray Feltner; and sister, Teresa Feltner.

He leaves behind his loving daughter and daughter-in-law, Jennifer (Misty) Young; honorary daughter, Rhonda (Keith) Woods; loving fiancee, Geri Lefevers; step-daughter, Keleigh Russell; stepson, Kaden Russell.

His grandchildren, James Morgan, Cooper Collett, Alex Cooper, and Valoree Rouse, will carry with them the memories of their grandfather and the love he gave them.

He is also survived by his sisters, Vicky Feltner (Charles) Bailey, Carolyn Feltner (Roland) Record, Marilyn Feltner Collins, and Sarah Ann (Ronnie) Baker; his brothers; Joe (Opal) Johnson, Bob (Diane) Johnson, Tony Way (Tina) Johnson, and Keith (Rachel) Johnson; special niece, Tracey (Joseph) Feltner Francis; special nephew, Jimmy Dean (Michelle) Feltner; as well as many other special nieces, nephews, family members and friends.

There are some people whose absence changes everything. Sylvester was one of those people.

The family will receive friends from 5:00 PM until 7:00 PM on Saturday, October 3, 2026, at Coffey Funeral Home in Tazewell with funeral following at 7:00 PM with Jimmy Dean Feltner officiating. Eulogy by Tracey Feltner Francis.

Honorary Pallbearers: Elijah Francis, Isaiah Francis, Bobby Feltner, Isaac Feltner, Aleah Feltner, Vinnie Denning, Adam Hensley, Troy Combs

Sylvester, you gave the people you loved something that cannot be bought and cannot be taken away - a lifetime of memories.
