Jeffrey Sumner Rolings, age 49, died in Dallas, Texas, on January 21, 2025.

Born September 18, 1975, in Falls Church, Virginia, he lived in Dallas for most of his life.

After graduating from J.J. Pearce High School, Jeff earned a bachelor's degree in political science from Roanoke College.

He was a member of the Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration in Dallas and volunteered at the church and the Operation Kindness animal shelter.

Jeff loved football, dogs, and adored his niece and nephew. He was a fan of James Bond, Wordle, the movie Elf and 1310 The Ticket. He could often be seen wearing his favorite teams' jerseys and had an impressive collection of team hats.

He was loved and will be greatly missed by his mother Kim, his sister and brother-in-law Katy and Ian, his brother and sister-in-law Andrew and Jenn, his nephew William and his niece Eleanor Rose.

Jeff was helpful, kind and had a heart larger than his size.
