James T. McFann
July 13, 1951 — October 25, 2015
James T. “Jeff” McFann, of Winifrede, WV born July 13, 1951 to Ray and Helen Dolores Kitchen McFann in Ironton,Ohio, passed away Sunday, October 25, 2015 at Dunbar Center.
He grew up in Carbon on Cabin Creek. After graduating from East Bank High School, he was employed by Carbon Fuel Industries as foreman and owned the Midway Mart for a short time in the 80’s. Jeff’s valiant efforts in rehabilitation following a severe head injury in 1991 allowed him to return to work with Verizon until increasing head injury residuals forced him to retire in the early 2000’s.
Jeff was a beloved son, brother, and friend. He was a fun loving jokester and a serious card player. He was a member of the Moose Lodge. He will be greatly missed by his family, friends and all who knew him. He never met a stranger. He always maintained a positive attitude, never gave up hope and never complained.
Jeff is predeceased by his loving parents and grandparents, Forest and Eliza Kitchen and James and Ada McFann, both formerly of Pedro, OH.
He leaves sisters and brothers, Peggy (Ivan) Puckett, Uneeda,WV, Ray (Julie) McFann, Bland, VA, Patricia McFann, Charleston, WV, Jeanette (Beecher) Cooper, Winifrede, WV, Gary (Debbie) McFann, Jasper, AL, Penny Stover, Charleston, WV and Tony (Diana) McFann, Julian, WV; nieces and nephews, Shelly McFann, Kennesaw, GA, Patrick (Crystal) McFann, Regilwood, NC, Alissa (Mike) Bussie, Dallas, GA, Lindsey (Ron) Hosey, Charleston, SC, Erin (Christian) Morrison, Kenova, WV, Kyle Stover, Charleston, WV and Jonathon McFann, Bland, WV; great nieces and nephew Ella and Alex Bussie and Ava Hosey, Charleston, SC; and a large extended family. He also leaves behind very special friend Malena Adkins.
A special thank you goes to the Dunbar Center staff for their wonderful care of our beloved Jeff and making his last days comfortable.
A service to honor the life of Jeff McFann will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday, October 28 at Handley Funeral Home, Danville. Internment will follow in the mausoleum at Memory Gardens.
