Obituary - Jeffrey Alan Ladd

Jeffrey Alan Ladd, 54, passed away on Sunday, August 27, 2023 at his home in Garden City, MO after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Services are still pending.

Jeff was born May 24, 1969 at Research hospital in Kansas City, MO, the son of William "Bill" Ladd and Nancy (Stephens) Shroyer. He attended Garden City and Harrisonville Elementary schools and was a 1987 Graduate of Harrisonville Senior High.

Jeff enjoyed the outdoors, fishing and mushroom hunting were among his favorite activities. He spent hours watching reruns of Gunsmoke and Yellowstone. He loved board games, especially Scrabble, and never missed an opportunity to remind us he was still the family Champion.

Jeff was preceded in death by his stepfather, Roy Shroyer; paternal grandparents, Loyd and Irma Ladd; and maternal grandparents, Carl and Helen Stephens. He leaves behind his father, Bill Ladd; his mother, Nancy Shroyer; his brother, Michael Ladd; his sister, Jennifer Gideon, and her children, Christopher and Stephanie Hockaday; and too many aunts, uncles, and cousins to mention that he loved and will surely miss him.

Jeff may be out of our sight but never gone from our hearts.
