He got his start in the funeral home business while still in high school by working after school and weekends at Stotts-Phelps-McQueary Funeral Home. A rather different kind of high school job, but he found he really enjoyed working there and after high school graduation, he went to work at Grissom Funeral Home and graduated from Midway America College of Mortuary Science. Soon after, he left Adair County where he helped start funeral homes in Tennessee and Kentucky, and served in Glasgow for 20 years before finding his way back home and becoming the owner of the place where he first found his calling - Stotts-Phelps-McQueary Funeral Home. He also owns funeral homes in Summer Shade and Edmonton. Jeff is an Adair County native who is married to the former Stacy Greer of Knifley and they have three children.
