Jeff Feese, 56, Adair County, KY (1967-2023) Jeffrey Lynn "Jeff" Feese was called home at the age of 56, on Sunday, August 13, 2023. Jeff was born in Adair County, Kentucky on February 27, 1967, to Willie Matt Feese Jr. and Donna Ellis Feese of Columbia, KY who survive. He was a member of the Tabernacle Christian Church in Adair County. If you asked a hundred people who Jeff Feese was, they would all give you a different story. A hunter, a fisherman, an outdoorsman, the BBQ man, hard-headed, the life of the party, the black sheep, a papa, a husband, a dad, a son, a friend, and so much more. He was a fairly simple man who loved a good tune, turned up a little too loud, loved to tell a story that sounded way too crazy to ever possibly be true, and was uniquely himself no matter where he was.
