It is with deep sadness that Hungry Hearts for the Homeless shares the heartbreaking news of the passing of our dear friend Kookie Jefferies this past weekend. His daughter wanted to make sure all of Kookie’s friends and those who loved him were informed.
A celebration of Kookie’s life will take place today at 3:00 PM at All Saints Church, College Road car park, where family, friends, and community members will gather to honor his memory. The event will include **balloons and fireworks** — a bright and joyful way to remember someone who always brought light wherever he went.
Kookie was truly one in a million. If you ever had the privilege of meeting him, you’d know that his presence could light up an entire room. He was warm, funny, compassionate, and full of life — a man who left a lasting impression on everyone he met.
His passing has deeply affected everyone at **Hungry Hearts for the Homeless, the Outreach Team**, the Day Centre, Lily Smith, Trinity, and all those who had the joy of working alongside him. To us, Kookie wasn’t just a friend — he was family. He stood with us in service, always extending kindness to those in need and reminding us what true compassion looks like.
Today, as we gather with his daughter, grandson, and loved ones, we’ll remember not just the loss, but the beautiful legacy Kookie leaves behind. For anyone who wishes to share memories, thoughts, or condolences, please leave a message here — they will be passed on to his family.
Additionally, tomorrow night,Hungry Hearts for the Homeless will continue its mission of helping those struggling or experiencing homelessness. In Kookie’s honor, we will hold a minute of silence at 7:00 PM at All Saints Church, College Road car park. Everyone is welcome to join us as we pay tribute to this remarkable man — a true light in our community.
Rest in peace, **Kookie Jefferies**. You were one in a million, and your spirit will live on in the love and kindness you shared with so many.
