Jeffrey Alan Hearrell

Jeffrey Alan Hearrell, 65, passed away in the arms of loved ones on Sunday, August 29, 2021, in Charlotte, NC. Jeffrey was born in Ravenna, Ohio, on October 9, 1955, to Raphael and Wilma Hearrell. Jeff spent his childhood in Ravenna and graduated from Ravenna High School in 1974. He went on to attend Kent State University. In the Spring of 1986, he moved his family to Charlotte, NC to pursue his career in business administration, which included working for Children’s Palace, Target, Toys “R” Us, and most recently, managing Plaza Appliance Mart in Mathews, NC. Jeff’s life was centered around his family and he worked hard every day to provide them with everything they needed and more. This November 29th, Jeff and his wife Paula would be celebrating their 35th anniversary. Jeff could always be counted on and tried his best to attend every important event in his family’s lives. He enjoyed watching sports during his free time but his most loved hobby was golf. His dream was to one day play a round of golf at Augusta National Golf Course. Jeffrey was kind-hearted and gentle and showed it through his love of animals; his family often joked that sometimes they thought he cared more about the pets than them. Anyone that knew Jeffrey will remember him for his infectious smile and compassionate soul; he would go out of his way to help others. This past year has been quite difficult for Jeffrey and his family, as he lost his brother, Larry Hearrell, in April and his father, Raphael Hearrell, in June. Jeffrey attended Central Church of God and was a strong believer in Christ. His family has peace knowing he is in heaven surrounded by all of his loved ones and they have comfort knowing one day they will be reunited with him again. Jeff is survived by his wife Paula (Lusby) Hearrell; his children: Jason (Misty) Young, Amy (Jerry) Gulu, Kalie (Robert) Johnson, Tony (Kelsey) Hearrell, Casey (Chris) Dial, and Korie Hearrell; his mother: Wilma Hearrell; his brother: Tim (Robin) Hearrell; and his grandchildren; Izabella, Madelyn, Danika, Ayden, Allison, Britlee, Cashton, Fenley, Gabe, and Kali. He is further survived by his honorary brother Keith (Kelly) Johnston along with numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, relatives and friends. Jeff’s family has given the family of Lowe-Neddo Funeral Home the privilege of caring for him and for them. A service celebrating Jeff’s life will be held at 11 AM on Saturday, September 4, 2021, at the Central Church, 5301 Sardis Rd, Charlotte, NC 28270. Services will be streamed and the link to join will be posted here before the service. The family would like to say a special thank you to Plaza Appliance Mart, Central Church, Calvary Church, Lowe-Neddo Funeral Home and all the family and friends that have stepped in to help them through this difficult time. May God bless you all.
