Mr. Jeffrey Ray Honeycutt, age 58, passed away peacefully on November 20, 2025, at Claiborne Medical Center. Born on August 6, 1967, in Middlesboro, Kentucky, Jeff grew up surrounded by the rolling hills and close-knit community that helped shape the man he would become.
Throughout his life, he carried with him the values instilled in him during his upbringing hard work, loyalty, compassion, and a deep appreciation for the simple joys of life.
Jeff was a devoted member of Duncan Chapel Baptist Church, where he found both spiritual guidance and lifelong friendships. His faith played an important role in the way he approached each day, influencing the kindness, patience, and humility he extended to others.
A talented craftsman and the proud owner of Honeycutt Builders, Jeff spent his life transforming ideas into reality.
His reputation for honesty and quality workmanship earned him the trust of countless families throughout the region. For Jeff, building was more than a profession it was a calling.
He believed that every home and project carried a story, and he approached each one with care, dedication, and a desire to help others feel secure and supported.
Many will remember him not only for the structures he created but also for the integrity and generosity he brought to every job.
Jeff’s passions extended far beyond his work. He was a lifelong music lover who found joy in sharing his favorite songs, playing tunes that lifted spirits, or simply tapping his foot along to a familiar rhythm.
Music was one of the ways he connected with those around him, and it often filled the spaces of his home and gatherings with warmth and laughter.
Another of Jeff’s great loves was classic cars. He took pride in preserving and admiring vehicles that reflected the craftsmanship and nostalgia of earlier eras.
Whether attending local car shows, talking shop with fellow enthusiasts, or spending quiet afternoons tinkering in the garage, Jeff found relaxation and enthusiasm in this hobby.
Above all else, Jeff was a man devoted to his family. He is survived by his loving wife, Carmen Honeycutt, who stood by his side through life’s many seasons. He also leaves behind his beloved children Daniel, Jesse, and Samanthaeach of whom carries forward his strength, compassion, and resilient spirit.
Jeff adored his grandchildren, whose laughter brought him endless joy, and he cherished his siblings and extended family, all of whom will feel the deep absence of his steady presence.
Jeff’s legacy lives on in the lives he touched, the work he completed, and the memories he created with those who loved him. He will be remembered with gratitude, affection, and profound respect by his family, friends, and the community he served so faithfully.
