Phillip Benton Jeffreys, 40, Russellville, passed away on Tuesday, July 22, 2014 at Russellville Hospital.

Phillip was a great father, son, brother and friend.

He is survived by his sons, Braydyn Jeffreys and Justin Britnell; father, David Jeffreys; mother and step-father, Joyce and Jim Berry; sister, Dianna Renfro; brothers, Brandon Wilson, Grant Jeffreys; nephew, Mason Renfro; nieces, BreAnna Prestage, Aaliyah Wilson, Aalivia Wilson, Abby Wilson; great-nephew soon to arrive, Carson Prestage; and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

He was preceded in death by his stepfather, James Willard Wilson; and grandparents, Claude and Irene Williams.

The pallbearers were Braydyn Jeffreys, Brandon Wilson, Justin Britnell, Brandon George, Ashton Hatton, and John Prestage.
