Jeffery Orman LaBarreare was born in Memphis, TN on June 15th 1954 to John Claude LaBarreare Sr and Daphna Orman LaBarreare. At the young age of 21 he was diagnosed with terminal oral cancer. His parents purchased his burial plot and prepared for loss. God had another plan for Jeff's life. A plan to give him a hope and a future. He conquered cancer and married his high school sweetheart Wanda Born Klinck with whom he had three children, Casie LaBarreare Deisher, Jennie LaBarreare Pollan and Jeffery Orman LaBarreare Jr.
Jeff had a career he loved as a long haul truck driver. He was a gifted artist and an avid reader. Part of God's beautiful plan for Jeff's life was placing him as an influential role in the lives of his fellow Alcoholics Anonymous members. He always provided a listening ear, quiet wisdom and a hot cup of coffee. He was a humble man who lived a quiet, simple life.
Jeff was preceded in death by his parents, John Claude and Daphna LaBarreare, his brother Dr. John LaBarreare Sr., and his beloved first grandson, Cody Crockett.
He is survived by his children, Casie Deisher (Clay), Jennie Pollan (Lee), Jeffery LaBarreare Jr (Tabitha) and his seven grandchildren: Conner, Caylee, Olivia, Silas, Sophia, Chloe and Elias.
