Joe Lindigrin's Son, Jeff Dies


Jeffrey "Jeff" Lawrence Lindigrin
June 28, 1961 ~ July 12, 2022

Jeffery “Jeff” Lawrence Lindigrin, age 61, of Rockwall, TX, passed away unexpectedly into the loving arms of his Savior on July 12, 2022. He was born June 28, 1961, in Jackson, MS, to Geraldine (Conn) Lindigrin and Joseph Franklin Lindigrin, Jr. Jeff moved from his beloved state of Mississippi to Dallas, Texas, in the early 1980s.

Jeff was a Christian, had an infectious smile, a larger-than-life personality, a kind heart, and dearly loved his family. He was witty and fun-loving and brought laughter to everyone around him. He was very creative and particularly enjoyed expressing his artistry through painting. During high school and college, Jeff loved to sing, and one of his greatest joys was singing in a church quartet in Clinton, MS. Jeff enjoyed spending time outdoors, ranching, hunting, and playing sports and was a lifelong Mississippi State Bulldog fan. 

His mother’s nickname for him his entire life was “my little boy.”  He was employed by Great Western Home Loans for 19 years as the VP of Happiness. Jeff was so proud of his eldest daughter, Lauren’s academic accomplishments and successful career. He was a great supporter of his daughter Mack’s basketball career and hardly ever missed a game or practice of hers. He even learned the sport of soccer to support Emily at her games. Jeff was a loving father, son, and brother; and will be missed deeply by those who loved him. 

Jeff was preceded in death by his loving father, Joseph Lindigrin (Class of 1959), with whom he shared a special bond. He is survived by daughters: Lauren Fay and husband (Brendan) of Raleigh, NC. Mack Lindigrin and Emily Jones of Rockwall, TX; Mother: Geraldine Lindigrin; sister: Sherry Lindigrin, both of Brandon, MS; beloved dog: Mable Maye Lindigrin (only dog he loved); and a host of extended family and friends.  

A celebration of Jeff’s life will be held at 10:00 am, Saturday, July 23, 2022, at Glenwood Funeral Home Vicksburg, MS.  A gathering of family and friends will be held one hour before the service from 9:00am to 10:00am.

Please keep our classmate, Ina Lott Whittington, in your prayers. Unfortunately, she passed out and fell this morning and passed out again before the paramedics came. Her BP was 80/46. Dr. Pierce will adjust her heart medication and keep her overnight for observation. She went home but had to return to the hospital after falling two more times.

UPDATE: 7/10/22 She has a broken hand after falling four times and is in a cast.

UPDATE: Ina is at the Heritage House Nursing Home to take her off all her meds and slowly add them to see which one is making her pass out. She could be there for at least two weeks.

The Easy Cajun

A young man asked his grandfather, "Grandpa, how did you live in the past without technology . . .

without computers,
without an Internet connection,
without TVs,
without air conditioners,
without cars,
no cell phones?"
Grandpa answered:
"As your generation lives today . . .
there are no prayers,
there is no compassion,
there is no respect,
no real education,
there is no personality,
there is no shame at all,
there is no modesty,
there is no honesty.
We, the people born between the years 1940-1980, were the blessed ones. Our lives are living proof."
* While playing and riding a bike, we have never worn a helmet.
* Before school then we played and again after school until dusk and hardly ever watched television.
* We played with real friends, not virtual friends.
* If we were thirsty, we would drink tap water, or water from the hose, not mineral water.
* We never worried even as we shared the same cup of juice with four friends.
* We never gained weight by eating plates of pasta every day.
* Nothing happened to our feet despite roaming barefoot.
* We never used food supplements to stay healthy.
* We used to make our own toys and play with them.
* Our parents were not rich. They gave love, not stuff.
* We never had a cell phone, DVD, game console, Xbox, video game, PC, internet, or chat . . . but we had true friends.
* We visited our friends without being invited and shared and enjoyed the food with them.
Parents lived nearby to take advantage of family time.
* We may have had black and white photos, but you can find colorful memories in these photos.
* We are a unique and the most understanding generation because we are the last generation that listened to their parents.
And we are also the first ones who were forced to listen to their children.
* We are a limited edition!
Take advantage of us. Learn from us. We are a treasure destined to disappear soon.
