Jeffrey Clyde Lilly, 57, passed away on October 24, 2026, in Bowerston, Ohio. He was born on September 15, 1969, in Baltimore, Maryland, to the late Lacy (Clyde) Lilly and Jeanne L. Atkinson.
Jeffrey spent most of his life in and around Phoenix, Arizona. He worked for many years in the restaurant industry until health challenges led him to retire from his career. He found joy in listening to country music and in creating handmade jewelry, pieces made with care and creativity.
He was preceded in death by his parents and his nephew, Jeffrey Day. He is survived by his sister, Sandra Gearheart, and her husband, James; his twin brother, Jimmy Lilly, and his wife, Stephanie; and his nieces and nephews: Jayson Kelley (Jacqueline), Ryan Blank, Jacob Lilly (Heather), Kaitlyn Lilly (Joseph), Jesse Gearheart, Rachel Baldauf (Chad), Kendra Dove, Jessica Baldwin, and Samantha Manriquez (David). He also leaves behind thirteen great-nieces and great-nephews, including Jeffrey Day’s children, Riley and Aerolith.
In keeping with his wishes, Jeffrey will be cremated. There will be no formal services planned. Instead, his family will gather privately for a small celebration of his life, remembering the music he loved and the jewelry he made by hand. The Baxter-Gardner Funeral Home in Sherrodsville has been entrusted with his cremation arrangements. Condolence messages may be left on the funeral home website.
