Biography: Jeffrey Edward Heinley, age 58 of East End, gained his wings and entered into Heaven surrounded by his family at his home on March 14, 2018. He was born into this life on September 10, 1959 to JoAnn and John Heinley in El Dorado, Arkansas. He went on to join the United States Air Force at age 17, then a few years later he went on to meet the love of his life, Pam; they married on June 19, 1982 at the Old Mill in North Little Rock, Arkansas. Together they built an amazing life and family. Although they would face difficult challenges and difficult decisions through the years, their love for each other only grew stronger each day. Jeffrey enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping, NASCAR and most of all, spending time with his grandchildren. His greatest accomplishment above all was his family. He leaves behind an extraordinary legacy and has only passed the torch to keep his memory alive. He leaves behind to cherish his memories, his beloved wife of thirty-five years, Pamela Ann Heinley; his daughter, Tahmika Nichole Bertrand (Anthony) of East End; his son, Dustin Patrick Heinley (Jennifer) of East End; his sister, Becky Hizer (Tom) of Maryville, Tennessee; his brother, Paul Heinley (Renita) of Benton; his sister -in-law, Olivia Heinley of Bauxite; his grandchildren, Brianna Bertrand, Ethan Lines, Peyton Bertrand, Blake Heinley, and a host of nieces, nephews, brothers, sisters, cousins, adopted children and friends. Jeffrey is preceded in death by his mother, JoAnn Heinley; his father, John Heinley; brothers Mike and Tracy Heinley; his mother -in- law , Charlotte Bradford; and several other friends and family.

Tahmika...A saying I have on my desk, visible every day, says...
Dad
Although you can't be here with me,
We're truly not apart,
Until the final breath I take,
You'll be living in my heart.
That is the one place your Daddy can always be that nobody can take away. Candles will eventually burn out but that love you have for your Daddy will NEVER leave your heart.
Love you and praying for your whole family.
