Shuan Michael Jeffers

Mr. Shuan Michael Jeffers, age 53, of Callahan, Florida, passed away Sunday evening (10/19/25) at Baptist Medical Center in Jacksonville, Florida following a courageous battle with cancer that he fought bravely.

Michael enjoyed attending Journey Church in Blackshear and was your typical South Georgia guy as an avid outdoorsman, master fisherman, enjoyed racing and Georgia Football fan.
