Jeffery Leland Bohannon

Mr. Jeffery Leland Bohannon, age 59, of Hazlehurst, passed away on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, at his home.

Jeff was born on October 4, 1966, in Hazlehurst, to Faye Rewis Crews and the late Leland Albert Bohannon. He graduated from Jeff Davis County High School in 1985 and went on to build a life defined by hard work and determination. He owned and operated Golden Isles Diesel Shop on Highway 341 in Hazlehurst before later working with Williams Brothers Trucking, where he drove a truck for several years and eventually supervised their mill in Madison, Georgia. He also owned and operated a lawn care business, always willing to put in whatever work was needed to provide and stay busy.

At the time of his passing, Jeff was employed at The Dumpling Shop, where he formed special friendships with Tim Callaway, Patricia Selph Boone, and Rusty Mosley. Rusty often referred to him as a “jack of all trades,” a compliment that made his mother especially proud. The Dumpling Shop crew became his second family; they loved him deeply, and he loved them in return.

Jeff was a hardworking, big-hearted man who would gladly give the shirt off his back to anyone in need.

In addition to his father, he is preceded in death by his sister, Lynne Hyers; his paternal grandparents, Ike and Lottie Bohannon; his maternal grandparents, Glenberry and Willie Mae Rewis; and his uncle, Timmy “Bones” Rewis.

Jeff is survived by his son, Chase (Azucena) Bohannon of Social Circle; his daughter, Jordi Bohannon of Social Circle; his mother and stepfather, Faye Rewis Crews and Stephen Crews of Hortense; his brothers, Steve Bohannon of Hazlehurst, and Spencer (Michelle) Crews of Kingsland; his sisters, Sharon (Pat) Nelson of Maldrove, OK, Tammy Toler of Alma, Lesley (Brett) Sell of San Antonio, TX, and Stephanie Crews of Kingsland; his grandchildren, Maci Davis and Sophia Sell of Texas, and Anslee, Emilee, and Kyleigh Hyers of Hazlehurst; his brother-in-law, Greg Hyers of Hazlehurst; and three special nephews, Robert “Rabbit” Edwards of Oklahoma, Duck (Amanda) Hyers, and Matt Hyers, all of Hazlehurst.

Funeral services will be held on Friday, March 6, 2026, at 1:00 P.M. at Philadelphia Baptist Church with Rev. Roger Daniels and Rev. Randy Manning officiating.

Visitation will be held one hour prior to the service.
