Jeffrey Rayford Nunn was born July 11, 1968 to Charlie “Gator” Nunn, and Patricia (Robinson) Nunn. Growing up, he loved spending hours playing basketball, cooking, and listening to Hip-Hop and Rap music.
After graduating from Cathedral High School in 1987, “The Flying Nunn,” was recruited to play basketball at Massasoit Community College. Jeffrey was always working to provide for the people he loved. He worked at a hardware store and nursing home, before serving over thirty years in the public safety industry.
He never liked to see people sad. As soon as he walked into a room, he ensured each
person laughed at one of his jokes or impersonations.
As Polo Ralph Lauren's and Nike's #1 customer, Jeffrey was known for his style, and teaching others how to dress. When he wasn’t educating others on how to properly pronounce words, so they’d sound fancier, he was giving back to the community by coaching baseball, football, and basketball.
Jeffrey left us peacefully Friday, May 10, 2024, at Boston Medical Center. He is survived by his mother, Patricia Nunn, his wife, Tracey Hicks, and his children, Jeffrey “Jeff-Jeff” Nunn Jr (Sheena), Jaida Nunn, Jakiya Hicks-Nunn, and Rilee Burton. Additionally, he leaves five grandchildren, Chance Sanderson, Jamal Haywood Jr., Jaiden Haywood, Ja’Niya Nunn, and Nyari Farrell.
He lovingly filled the roles of son, father, husband, “G-Dad,” life-long companion, uncle, cousin, father-figure, friend, brother from another mother, role model, philosopher, and coach to many. He will be remembered, missed, and loved forever.
Family and friends are invited to attend viewing hour on Wednesday May 22, 2024 from 10-11 AM followed by a Religious Service from 11-12 PM in the Joseph Russo Funeral Home, 814 American
Legion Highway, Roslindale, MA. Burial is private.
