Jeff was born on July 22, 1959, the son of Ronald and Alta (Latare) Brinkman. He graduated from Oxford Junction High School in 1977.

Jeff worked as a heavy equipment operator all his life from Alabama to the Virgin Islands ending at Dave Schmitt Construction until his retirement.

Jeff loved hunting and fishing. Fishing with his son was his greatest happiness. His favorite saying was “Family First” and he always made that a promise. When family needed him, he was always there with his quick wit.
