                                    In Loving Memory of Jefferson Wills Posey

                                     September 3, 1960 – December 8, 2025

Jefferson Wills Posey (Jeff), age 65, passed away at his residence on December 8,

2025. Born on September 3, 1960, in La Plata, Maryland, Jeff was the son of Francis

Wills (Sonny) Posey III and Margaret (Peggy) Jameson Posey Stone.

A lifelong resident of Charles County, Jeff graduated from La Plata High School and

Charles County Community College. He worked in the family business, Posey’s

Hardware, until its closing, and later applied his many talents in engine repair, home

building, maintenance engineering, and project management for government

contractors.

Jeff was a devoted father, grandfather, brother, son, uncle, cousin, and friend, a true

pillar of strength and kindness. His life was defined by his love for family and

community. He had a gift for making everyone feel cared for, always ensuring his loved

ones were safe and cherished. His hugs were legendary, his laughter contagious, and

his famous shrimp dip, a staple at every family gathering.

He found joy in the simple pleasures of life, fishing along the Chesapeake Bay, feasting

on crabs, and enjoying oysters when the month ended in “R.” Jeff was fascinated by

space and the mysteries of the universe, dreaming of the stars while appreciating the

beauty of his home on Earth.

Jeff is survived by his two beloved sons, the pride and joy of his life, Alexander Francis

Posey and his wife Barbara, and granddaughter Georgia Louise Posey; and Nicholas

Robert Posey and his wife Khadija. He is also survived by his sister Julie Shontere (Joe)

and brother Bernard Posey (Vicki) and brother-in-law Frederick Davis. Jeff will also be

greatly missed by his many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sister Mary Elizabeth (Beth)

Posey Davis, stepfather William Michael Stone and niece, Angela Houtz.

Funeral services will be held on Monday, December 22, 2025, at Sacred Heart Catholic

Church, 201 St. Mary’s Ave, La Plata, MD. Visitation will begin at 8:00 a.m., followed by

Mass at 9:00 a.m. Interment will follow at Sacred Heart Cemetery.

Those wishing to honor Jeff in a special way may make gifts in his memory to the

Chesapeake Bay Foundation or a favorite charity.

Jeff’s legacy is one of love, laughter, and care, a reminder to cherish family, embrace

community, and savor life’s simple joys. He will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
