Jeffrey Lee Headings, 52, went to be with his Savior Dec. 11, 2013, at Via Christi St. Francis, Wichita. He lost the battle with cancer, but won the battle of life. Jeff was born Nov. 1, 1961, in Hutchinson, the son of Sanford and Delores Ann (Stutzman) Headings.

He graduated from Central Christian High School in 1980, and attended Hesston College and Grace Bible College, and graduated from Hutchinson Community College in 1985. On Jan. 11, 1986, he married LaCinda A. (Cindy) Troyer at Yoder Mennonite Church, and their love has only grown through the years. She survives. Other survivors include: his sons, Zachary Perry and Nicholas Lee; mother, Delores Headings of Hutchinson; sisters, Charlene Cooper and husband Chris of Hutchinson, Kristeen Zehr of Newton, and Lynita Headings of Hutchinson; father and mother-in-law, Lowell and Laura Troyer of Hutchinson; brother-in-law, John Troyer and wife Star of Norwich; nieces and nephews, Jalayn Elizabeth Konys and husband Jake, Andrew John Zehr, Katelin DeAnn Zehr, Adam Perry Cooper, Grace Hannah Troyer, Benjamin Lee Cooper, Wyatt Jacob Troyer, and Emma Elizabeth Troyer. He was preceded in death by his father, Sanford Headings, and by his grandparents.

Jeff was a dedicated and passionate member of Journey Mennonite Church, and served his church selflessly and enthusiastically. He will be deeply missed by his church family, and by his employers and friends at Kauffman Seed.
