Remembering a Gentle Soul: Jeffrey Lane Boone’s Legacy

On December 16, 2025, Mars Hill lost a beloved member of the community, Jeffrey Lane Boone, who passed away at the age of 68. The news of his death has sent a ripple of grief through all who knew him. Known for his selflessness, warm smile, and unwavering faith, Jeffrey’s passing leaves a void that will never be filled. As the co-owner of Ameritech Slope Constructors and an active member of Grace Point Church, Jeffrey’s contributions extended far beyond his work. But it was his role as a loving husband, father, and grandfather that truly defined him.

Jeffrey was born to D.C. and Faye Wheeler Boone, who preceded him in death. He was always a man who put others before himself, whether that was in his professional life or in the way he cared for his family. His kindness and humility made him a respected figure in his community, and his faith was the foundation of everything he did.

Jeffrey’s greatest pride and joy were his family. He shared a beautiful life with his loving spouse, children, and grandchildren. Together, they made countless memories, and Jeffrey always made sure to be present for the important moments. His love for his family was immeasurable, and that love was returned in full measure, especially during the tough times toward the end of his life. He was a pillar of support, offering encouragement and advice when needed, and reminding his loved ones of the importance of faith and love.

While his family will miss his wise words and loving presence, they find comfort in the thought that he is now with his Lord and Savior, free from pain and suffering. His faith was unwavering, and it carried him through life’s ups and downs. Now, Jeffrey is resting in the arms of the Lord, a place where his heart of compassion, dedication, and kindness can truly shine in eternity.
