In Loving Memory of Jeff Elder
Jeffery ''Jeff'' Elder Jr., of Conway, Arkansas, passed away on October 7, 2025, leaving behind a family who loved him deeply and a lifetime of memories that will be cherished forever.
If you knew Jeff, you knew how deeply he loved his family and friends. He was the best husband and best friend to Gina Elder, a devoted father to Lexie Elder, and a caring stepdad to Kaylynn Parrott (Adel) and Kendra James (Steven). He was also the most devoted ''Pappy'' to Bryson, Asher, Parker, Ally, Savannah, StellaJo Frances, each of whom he adored beyond measure. He was a loving son to Johnnie and Jeff Elder Sr. As well as a loving brother to Jacob Elder and uncle to Adyn, Cameron, and Ethan. An amazing nephew to Debbie McWatters, George Brown, and Ronnie Brown
Jeff had a special way of making everyone around him feel seen and loved. Whether it was one of his silly jokes, cheering at a grandchild's T-ball game, or looking right at them and saying, ''Hey, I love you,'' or ''You're perfect,'' his presence made life lighter and brighter. His laugh, his teasing humor, and his quiet strength will forever be remembered by all who knew him.
Jeff lived a life rooted in hard work, loyalty, and love. He showed up for the people he cared about and would do anything for them.
Jeff is survived by his loving wife, Gina Elder; daughters, Lexie Elder, Kaylynn Parrott (Adel), and Kendra James (Steven); grandchildren, Bryson, Asher, Parker, Ally, Savannah, StellaJo; his parents, Johnnie Elder and Jeff Elder Sr.; his brother, Jacob Elder (Heather) and their sons, Adyn, Cameron, and Ethan, as well as so many cousins. He is also survived by many other cherished family members and friends who loved him dearly.
A visitation will be held on Monday, October 13, 2025, at 10:00a.m. in Roller-McNutt Funeral Home Chapel, Conway, followed by a Celebration of Life service at 11:00 a.m.
''Jeff will be remembered for his humor, kindness, and love for his family. His legacy of laughter and light will live on forever in the hearts of those who loved him.''

Gina,
I’m thinking of you during this difficult time. Hugs and prayers for you and your family.
Gina and Lexie,
You girls are in my thoughts and prayers. We had a lot of good times together! From fishing, to riding, to lake day, to just hanging out and our beach trip. Jeff was a super guy and always helped when and where he could. He helped me when I needed it the most! I love you girls and miss you.
Gina, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers daily. Im so very sorry for your loss. I cant even imagine and have no words. I hope and pray for comfort for you.
No words can express my emotions for your loss. Jeffrey was a good man and will be missed.
