Jeffrey Scott Gentry

Our beloved Jeff has gone home to be with Jesus. He was a wonderfully supportive and loving dad to his three sons and an amazing husband to his soulmate and wife, Fran. Jeff was blessed to spend 42 years in service at The King’s Academy in a variety of roles: teacher, colleague, mentor, counselor, coach, administrator and principal of the high school. He was a great man of faith and a believer in the mercy and grace of a loving Lord and he lived his life as an example of those values. His advice and guidance to others was consistently based on a scriptural foundation and was replete with thoughtful wisdom. He always sought and found the good, the creative and the potential in others. He loved his family boundlessly and shared that same love with thousands of students over the years. His inspirational Godly impact was generational as he taught the children of former students throughout the years. He was a gentle and kind soul who was our rock and our hero. Our lives are forever altered with his unexpected passing and his lasting legacy is far reaching and impactful. Jeff is survived by his loving wife, Fran, and his three sons, Aaron (Mary), Ben (Dawn) and Randy. As well, he leaves behind eight sweet grandchildren: Gabriel, Riley, Eleanor, Milo, Julian, Elijah, Zoe and Esme.

A memorial service honoring Jeff will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 15, at The King’s Academy located at 8401 Belvedere Road in West Palm Beach. In lieu of flowers, gifts and donations may be made in Jeff’s memory to The King’s Academy.
