Leon Jefferson, Jr.
Leon Jefferson, Jr. was born on April 23, 1936, in Vicksburg, Mississippi, to the late Clara and Leon Jefferson, Sr. From an early age, Leon understood that family and hard work were the foundation of a fruitful life—a principle that guided him across a lifetime of varied professions and meaningful connections. His steady presence, quiet strength, and unwavering commitment to those he loved became the hallmarks of his character.
He leaves to cherish his memory his devoted children: Marilyn Lee, Jeffery Nelson, and Leigh Jefferson Williams; nine beloved grandchildren who brought him immense joy; and a host of loving relatives and dear friends who will forever remember his kindness, his humor, and the gentle wisdom he shared so freely.
