Jeffrey Hoyt Linker

Jeff loved hunting, fishing, and being with his family. He always had a joke or a little sarcasm to keep everyone laughing.

Jeff married the love of his life, Valerie Smith in May of 1997. They had two boys, Charles Daulton and Sloan Campbell. Then in June of 2020, the Lord called Valerie to her heavenly home, leaving Jeff heartbroken. He stayed strong and continued to raise their boys, as they grew into wonderful Christian men.

Jeff had many friends who helped him along the way, he also had his other Mom and Dad, Charles and Sherry Smith. He became their son when he married Valerie.

Jeff loved his church family and was a faithful long standing member of Levy Church of Christ.

Jeff was a graduate of the University of Arkansas Pulaski Technical College, receiving his Associate of Science in Liberal Arts and Sciences degree. He was recently blessed with a wonderful opportunity to be part of a Christian led, restoration company where his passion for those in need could be met and he loved his colleagues at Rainbow Restoration as well as the blessing they were becoming to him.

Jeff loved BIG!

Last year, Jeff met Janet Loan who came into his life and gave him love and happiness through their shared interests in hunting, fishing, and the Lord.

Jeff was preceded in death by his parents, his wife, Valerie and his friends John Campbell and Don Booker. He leaves behind his two sons, Daulton and Sloan. His brothers Tim(Kim) and Chris; his nephew Ryan, and niece, Madison. His brother in law Josh Smith (Blake) and nephews, Cash, Carter and Bonham Smith; Axel Birdsong and Delia Murry. His Uncle Carey Shaller; his in-laws Charles and Sherry Smith. His new love Janet Loan and her two sons, Jacob and Benjamin Loan. And many other friends and family. He will be missed by many, but he is now healthy and happy and is with Val and those he missed so deeply.
