Tyrek Kordell Jefferies 27 entered eternal rest on June
5, 2024, at Spartanburg Regional Medical Center. He
was born on February 10, 1997, to Nancy Elaine
Jefferies and James Anthony Fernanders.

Tyrek graduated from Spartanburg High School, Class
of 2015. He worked for Wendy’s in Columbus, North
Carolina.

Tyrek had an infectious smile that would light up a
room and a kind heart to all that encountered him. He
was always driven by the latest fashion and loved
exploring new trend ideas that would require his mother critiquing what he wore by being dressed “casket sharp”. He had a profound love for football and admired the New York Jets as his favorite team. He was a family oriented young man who cherished every moment spent with his family. He loved playing on his PlayStation 4 and spending time with his dog, Yak. Tyrek left a lasting impact on everyone he met; whether it was his family, friends, or co-workers, he loved life and always supported family.

Nancy Elaine Jefferies; his father, James A. Fernanders; his fiancé, Jakeria McNeil with son who will be born July 3,2024; his brothers, Ervin Terrell Jefferies (Noni) of Spartanburg, SC, and Tyson Fernanders (Shannon) of Spartanburg, SC; his sisters, Janotta Fernanders of Tampa Bay, Fl; special sisters, Erica Janay Jefferies of Spartanburg, SC, and Tracy Nesbitt (Larry) of Campobello, SC; his grandmother, Peggy Fernanders of Spartanburg, SC; aunt, Mildred Askew (Ivan) of Highland, CA; Godmother, Daisy” Miss Mama” Nash; God sisters, Mika Nash Smith (Terrell), and Carika Nash; and a host of uncles, aunts, nephews, many special cousins and friends.
