Thomas Jefferson Branch Jr

June 12, 1967 - November 25, 2021

Thomas “Jeff” Jefferson Branch Jr. was born, June 12, 1967, in Madison County, Florida, and grew up in Wakulla County, until he joined the Navy in November, 1985. Aside from his family, Jeff’s devotion was to the military. He was a veteran of the United States Navy, where he served 30 years and 27 days as a Nuclear Electrician, achieving the rank of Master Chief. His experience as a submariner played an important role is his life, allowing him to help sculpt and mold other, younger sailors, to lead successful careers. Jeff was a devoted husband and father. He enjoyed golfing, boating, hunting, camping, and helping out family, friends and neighbors in any way he could. There are friends, and there is family, and there are friends that become family; and because Jeff was loving, dedicated, brave, and humble, his family was extensive, and he will be missed by many. Mr. Branch is survived by his wife, Amy, of 35 years, and two children: Son, Ryan, Daughter-in-law, Tina, and Daughter, Alison. He also had two loving grandchildren: Logan and Bentley. A celebration of life, and urn burial will take place at the national cemetery in Tallahassee, FL on June 10th, 2022 at 11am. “And the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.” Ecclesiastes 12:7 James Sircy and Jackie Fulford are assisting the family.
