OBITUARY SECTION A TIME TO BE BORN Psalm 139:13 For you created my inmost being you knit me together in my mother’s womb. Jeffrey Edward Follins was born on January 5th 1958 in Brooklyn, NY at Brooklyn Jewish Hospital to his parents Eugene and Joan Follins. Jeffrey was preceded in death by his father, the late Eugene Follins, and his brother, the late Brian Follins. A TIME TO GROW Proverbs 10:14 Wise men store up knowledge. Jeffrey received his education in the Catholic and public school systems of NYC. He attended Visitation Catholic School for his elementary and intermediate schooling; and Automotive for his high school education. He attended John Jay college where he received his degree in criminology, and was also state certified as an instructor of security studies. Jeffrey worked various occupations for the city of New York and private sectors until his illness called for a termination in his work. Jeffrey had a wonderful sense of humor and a great love for scary movies and sports, especially football (Pittsburg Steelers). A TIME TO LOVE AND BE BLESSED 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 Love is patient, love is kind, love never fails. Jeffrey was blessed with his eldest daughter Tiffany Follins, and J & J. He had such a loving and affectionate heart. He met and married the wonderful, attentive, kind and considerate, Nicole Jones. From that union came their child Nicoya Follins and a beautiful marriage on May 30, 1999 lasting 22 years until his passing. A TIME TO WORSHIP Psalm 122:1 I rejoice with those who said to me let us go to the house of the Lord. On April 12, 2020, Jeffrey recommitted his life to Jesus Christ. A TIME TO REST Philippians 1:21 For me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. Jeffrey departed from us on Monday, October 18, 2021 at approximately 9:50pm. His loss will be felt tremendously.
