Jeffery Lynn Lafferty

June 1, 1964 - February 12, 2021

Jeffrey L. Lafferty, 56, of Laona, WI passed away Friday, February 12, 2021 at his home. Jeffrey was born June 1, 1964 in Laona the son of Lanny and Linda (Manning) Lafferty. He served in the U.S. Marines. Jeff used to love to fish and in more recent years took up interest in playing the guitar. He had a love of older cars, trucks and motorcycles and that is an interest a few of his boys shared with him. Jeff was also a fantastic artist and his oldest daughter and youngest son share that talent with him. While he has been estranged from his family and most of his children, his children got many of his great talents. It's no secret to anyone that Jeff struggled with addiction and depression and after he got shot, things seemed to spiral from there and if reading this, helps just one person know that they are not alone and are loved and that they have family and friends that want to help them, then our purpose is served. There is no shame in asking for help and no shame in admitting you need it. While he didn't know quite how to show his love for his children he did care deeply for them. Jeffery is survived by 7 children, son, Brandon (Liz) Brundridge, Mesa, Arizona; daughter, Brandy (Tyler) Hardy, Keokuk, Iowa; son, Scott (Brittany) Contreras, Marion, Iowa; son, Craig Lafferty, Wabeno; son, Triston Lafferty, Antigo; daughters, Shey and Mazzy, residing with their mom Darlene Morris, White Lake; 6 grandchildren, Shane, Jayse, Annabelle, Jaeden, Rockwell and Steve; father, Lanny Lafferty; brothers, Scott (Becky) Lafferty, Laona; Roger Lafferty, Laona; Wayne Lafferty, Wabeno; sisters, Robin Webb, Laona; Laurie (Ron) Welnetz, Antigo and Wendy Lafferty, Rhinelander. Jeff was preceded in death by an infant daughter, Cynthia Rose and his mother, Linda Lafferty. Memorial services will be held at 2:00 p.m. Saturday, February 20, 2021 with Pastor Joshua officiating at the Laona Community Building with a meal to follow.
