Jeffrey Turner, 57, passed away Monday, December 27, 2021 at Baptist Memorial Hospital - North Mississippi, Oxford, MS. Jeffrey spent the last 18 years in law enforcement. He began his career with the City of Sherman Police Department in 2003. The last 3 years, he worked with the City of Pontotoc Police Department, where he was a Sergeant. Law enforcement was his life's calling and he loved the job and all that it entailed. More often than not, the situations he dealt with were difficult, but he understood it took special people to be able to handle those situations and he was one of those special people. Before his law enforcement career, Jeffrey had worked at Action Industries for 15 years and Cooper Tire and Rubber Company for 18 years and made a lot of memories and special lasting friendships during those working years.
Jeffrey is survived by his wife, Cydney "Lou" Turner; his son, Colton Turner; his mother, Linda Turner; nephews, Daniel Turner and Andrew Johnson(Stefanie); nieces, Natalie Vandiver(Chris) and Shana Kidd(Jeremy); his mother-in-law, Marilyn Johnson; and many cousins, great nieces and great nephews.
He was preceded in death by his father, Haskell Turner; brother, Kenneth Turner; and his grandparents; Ray and Katherine Turner and Roy and Helen Daniels.
