FINCH, JEFFREY “JEFF, ” THOMAS, 38, died unexpectedly July 8, 2014 in Rocky Mountain House AB. Canada. He was born and raised in the beautiful mountains of Tennessee, then moved to Florida in his early 20’s. Everywhere he went he made friends. People were just naturally attracted to his quick wit, snarky comments and great stories. Men wanted to be him and women wanted to be with him. To know him was to love him.
Jeff had many loves in his life: fast cars, fast women, hot sauce, ketchup and food, but most of all he loved his children. Logan, Madison, Ethan and Kora were his greatest joy. He loved being their dad so much. There is no doubt he will be watching over them from Heaven.
He is survived by his parents, Sheila Finch and Larry and Murphy Finch; sisters: Gina (Dwight) Hood, Toshia (Tommy) Yates and Lauri Murphy; the mother of his 3 older children, Misty Layne Finch, as well as nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins who loved him so very much.
We will never get over losing you Jeff, but your memories will hold us over until we meet again. Until then, fly high bubba; I hope you are dancing in the sky.
