Jeffery Allan Ball, 62, passed away on May 28, 2026, in Moore, Idaho. He was born on May 22, 1964, in Carmel, California, to Thomas Allan Ball and Georgia Ann Ball (Crawford).
Jeffery lived a life dedicated to serving others. Throughout his career, he worked in construction and also answered the call to public service as a firefighter, paramedic, and police officer. Whether responding to emergencies or helping a neighbor in need, Jeffery’s desire was always the same—to help anyone he could in any way possible. His commitment to serving others left a lasting impact on countless lives and reflected the generous heart that defined him.
On May 25, 1985, Jeffery married the love of his life, Linda Susan Ball, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Together they built a family and shared many years of love, companionship, and memories. Jeffery and Linda enjoyed spending time together, working out at Planet Fitness, and challenging one another to games of chess.
Jeffery earned his GED and pursued additional certifications in fire service, emergency medical services, and law enforcement. Over the years he called many places home, including California, New Mexico, Colorado, Idaho, and Washington.
Anyone who knew Jeff knew he believed in perseverance and determination. His favorite saying was, “My goals don’t care how my body feels.” Whether in his work, his fitness, his faith, or the way he faced life’s challenges, he lived those words every day with remarkable dedication and strength.
A man of deep faith, Jeffery attended an Independent Fundamental Baptist Church and was passionate about sharing the Gospel of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. His faith guided his life and shaped the way he treated others—with compassion, kindness, and a servant’s heart.
Jeffery will be remembered for his dedication to his family, his unwavering faith, his commitment to helping others, and his willingness to step forward whenever someone was in need. Those who knew him will remember his strength, his generosity, and the love and help he always shared so freely.
He is survived by his loving wife, Linda Ball; his children, Jennifer, Brandon, and Eric; his mother and father, Georgia and Tom; and his five brothers, Tim, David, Steven, Chris, and Michael. He also leaves behind many extended family members, friends, and all those whose lives were touched by his service and friendship.
Though he will be deeply missed, Jeffery’s legacy of faith, service, and love will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
Funeral Services will be held on Saturday, June 20, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at Gethsemane Baptist Church, 2345 W. Broadway Street, Idaho Falls, ID. Interment will be in the Hillcrest Cemetery in Arco, ID under the direction of the Anderson Family Funeral Home.



Brother Jeff and I preached together in various venues, including homeless shelters, various ministries, and home Bible studies. He was always passionate about speaking Biblical truth, handing out tracts, explaining the beauty of Salvation by God’s grace, and leading people to know Jesus Christ.
He also worked for me, helping me build my home, and would work fast and hard, always giving it his best. He would often work by himself until the wee hours of the morning, a perfectionist totally focused on getting the job done well. If it didn’t look right to him he would rip it out and start over, as his work was a reflection of his dedication to his Lord. He quoted Colossians 3:23, “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.” Amen, Brother Jeff!
