Jeff will be remembered as a hardworking and capable man who retired after 37 years at J.R. Smith Manufacturing.

He also leaves behind his children, Timothy Mount and his wife, Katie, Tracey Hopson and her husband, Jason, and Travis Tidwell and his wife, Rachel. His family continued to grow through the generations, and he is also survived by his grandchildren, Hunter Hopson, Calob Hopson, Anna Hopson, Samantha Mount, Owen Mount, Isabella Saunders, and Elizabeth Tidwell.

Jeff is also survived by his brother, Rodney Tidwell and his wife, Deborah; his sister, Elaine Bradford and her husband, Alvin; and his brother-in-law, Tommy Kameda. He is preceded in death by his parents, George Harold and Mary Frances Baker Tidwell and sister, Marilyn Kameda.

Jeff’s life was marked by dedication to his work, enjoyment of the outdoors, and deep love for his family. His memory will continue to live on in the lives of those he loved so well.
