Jeffery Allen Kinslow, USAF, Ridgecrest, 29 April
« on: April 26, 2023, 06:36:41 AM »
The family of Jeffery Allen Kinslow, Senior Airman(E4) USAF 54, of Ridgecrest, CA  has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to attend services for their Hero on 29 April 2023. We are Honored to attend.

Jeff was born on June 28, 1968 in Ridgecrest to James Kinslow and Jill Sweet.

Shortly after graduating from Mesquite High School, Jeff joined the United States Air Force in 1988 and served for 8 years in the medical field. If asked, Jeff would tell you serving was one of his greatest honors. He left the military in 1996 and moved back to Ridgecrest, where he was a self-employed handyman and jack of all trades.

Anyone who knew Jeff, knew how much he loved animals. We often called him the animal whisperer. No animal could resist his gentle and loving nature. He also enjoyed plants and gardening (as seen on the ranch where he lived); collecting rocks and creating things out of pretty much anything he could get his hands on. His artistic side was out of this world, the things he could create were truly incredible!

Jeff was well liked by all who met him and could make friends very quickly. Jeff's passing has impacted many lives, but especially the lives of his family. We will forever miss Jeff’s laugh, sense of humor, voice and presence. Jeff is now at peace and enjoying the long awaited reunion with his mom.

Jeff is survived by the his sister Kim Kinslow of Ridgecrest; aunt/uncle Janet and Gerry Kircher of Ridgecrest; aunt/uncle Joy and Dale Alexander of Las Vegas; Cousins Ben Leonard of Ridgecrest; Daniel and Jannetta Jackson of Ridgecrest; Jason and Jen Turner of Las Vegas; and Jacob Alexander of Las Vegas. Jeff was preceded in death by his mother Jill Kinslow and grandparents Charles and Bertha Sweet.

NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this Military Veteran.
