Jeffrey began this life on November 6, 1962, in Kermit, Texas, the son of Sylvesta and Geraldine (Dickson) Reece. He attended Greenville School and later graduated from Marietta High School where he was also a member of the football team. Soon after high school, Jeffrey went to work in the oil fields.
