Meet Jeff Gladney Family Members
Jeff Gladney comes from a family of six — his parents: John D Gladney and Jacinda Jefferson, himself, and his 3 siblings.
But his blood bonds weren’t the only ones the NFL star considered to be his family. “Lost my brother, my best friend, my right-hand man … ain’t too much more I can take man damn!” Reagor, a receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles, posted after his death.
Likewise, many other football stars took it to their socials to mourn the loss of their brother and a talented player.
Jeff, 25 at the time, died in a car crash on the morning of May 30, 2022. Reportedly, the crash took place around 2:30 a.m. and involved two vehicles. A preliminary investigation also found that a white vehicle was speeding and clipped a second vehicle from behind. The white vehicle then lost control and hit a freeway pier beam, killing the man (Jeff) and the woman inside.
Fortunately, the second vehicle, also occupied by a man and woman, escaped unscathed.
Who Is Jeff Gladney Father, John D Gladney?
Jeff Gladney’s father is named John D Gladney. He was born in May 1954. That made him 68 years of age when he lost his son in May 2022.
He resided in New Boston, TX at the time.
Ironically, Jeff died in the same month his dad was born.
Talking about Jeff’s family, he was born to parents Dossie Pumphrey and Jeff Gladney; has four brothers: Bobby Gladney, Jerry Gladney, Darnell Riley, and Benjamin “Mole” Gladney, and two sisters named Florence Alexander and Lillie Phillips.
Sadly, his brother Benjamin passed away on March 2, 2010, at the age of 57. He was a father of four and grandfather of seven.
Also, John’s brother, Jerry passed away on February 11, 2019, at the age of 68. He was a father of 3 three, a stepfather of 1, and a grandfather of eight.
So, this means Jeff has tons of cousins. One of which, Tray-Vee-Uh (a journalist) took it to her IG to mourn his death, with a post captioned, “Sometimes life just leaves you speechless. In this time of mourning Lord let your peace and joy fill our hearts and let us trust, have faith, and be strengthened in you. Too young too soon RIP cousin. @almighty__gee”
Who Is Jeff Gladney Mother, Jacinda Jefferson?
Jeff Gladney loved his mother Jacinda Jefferson more than anyone in this world. No wonder, just a few days before his death, he bought her a house with the help of his cousin Haley Steward.
“This closing will forever be dear to my heart. Not only is it my first but I was blessed with the opportunity to assist my cousin in purchasing his mother her dream home I don’t know who’s more excited! Thank you for your business Jeff! Looking forward to working with you again!! Congratulations Jeff Gladney! YOU DID IT,” Haley, who’s a realtor, took it to her FB after closing the deal.
The NFL star’s mother was born in Aug 1964. Meaning, she was 57 when she lost her son. She worked at KingGee LLC at the time. Herehttps://www.facebook.com/jacinda.jefferson.9’s her FB.
How Many Siblings Did Jeff Gladney Leave Behind?
Jeff Gladney left the world before his three siblings, all brothers.
Surprisingly, none of them including his parents were ever featured on Jeff’s IG @almighty__gee.
Did Jeff Gladney Have A Baby Mama/Girlfriend?
Yes, Jeff Gladney had a girlfriend (who’s probably his baby mama) before the tragic accident. But it’s unclear if she was the 26-year-old female passenger who died with him.
The last we heard about Jeff’s girlfriend was in mid-2021 when the NFC star was indicted by a Texas grand jury on a felony domestic violence charge. The reports stated that Jeff “intentionally, knowingly and recklessly” applied pressure to a former girlfriend’s neck and throat. He was sued for $1 million by his girlfriend at the time.
Also, the suit claimed that Jeff bought his girlfriend a Tiffany necklace to try to convince her not to press charges, and showed up at her house in July trying to delete the text messages.
Fortunately, Jeff was founded “not guilty” of the charge.
Talking about Jeff’s kid, his son Kingston Gee Gladney was born on Feb 24, 2021. “From the first time I laid eyes on you I’ve been in love. You wouldn’t understand how the thought of you has gotten me through many of my darkest days,” he wrote in an IG post on Kingston’s first birthday.
