Jeffrey Lynn Pollard Sr., 67, of Columbus, Ohio, passed away peacefully on April 15, 2022, after a battle with lung cancer.
Jeffrey was born on July 13,1954 to John Mose Pollard and Margie Lee Pollard (Welch), in Opelika, AL.

Jeffrey was a diehard fan of the Cleveland Browns and loved making jokes. In his free time, he enjoyed playing cards, the lottery, bowling, and bingo. He was a loving father and a man who would give you the shirt off his back, even if he wasn’t wearing one. He never met a stranger! Jeffrey will be dearly missed and always remembered.
