 Jeffrey
Conway Obituary
Jeff Conway, beloved husband, father, son, brother, and dear friend,
passed away on June 13, 2022. His infectious smile, intellect,
integrity, and sense of humor will be missed by all who knew him.
Jeffrey Jason Conway was born on December 20, 1972, in Dallas, Texas, to
Derrell Wayne Conway and Loretta Morris Conway. Jeff graduated from
Newman Smith High School in 1991 and continued his education at the
University of Texas in Austin, where he was a member of the Texas
Longhorn baseball team. After a few years of playing professional
baseball, Jeff returned to school and earned his BA in History from UT
before attending law school at South Texas College of Law in Houston,
Texas. First at the DA's office in Collin County, then at Silber
Pearlman in Dallas and ultimately at LeBlanc Conway, a firm he founded
with his wife Jena, Jeff worked tirelessly as an advocate for his
clients and left his mark everywhere he went. He was equally revered by
colleagues and clients. Jeff was the consummate teammate and friend, and
his successes both on and off the field were great. While at Newman
Smith HS, Jeff made All-District twice, was the District Player of the
Year in 1991, and was also named to the All-State team his Senior year.
As an outfielder for the University of Texas from 1992-1994, Jeff was
named to both the All-Conference and All-Academic teams in 1994 before
being drafted by the San Diego Padres. While in the Padres organization,
Jeff played Minor League baseball in Spokane, WA and Rancho Cucamongo,
CA. Jeff was a natural leader, effortlessly picking up his teammates and
bringing out the best in everyone around him. Jeff led with a twinkle in
his eye and a smile on his face, but make no mistake, he was the
fiercest competitor on the field.Despite his many accolades as a lawyer
and athlete, Jeff's greatest accomplishment was his family. Jeff
treasured his wife, Jena, and was so proud of their four kids, Abby,
Jackson, Nancy Grace and Annalise. They truly were the joy of his life.
Jeff adored his family and friends, and always made sure you knew how
much he loved you. Phones will be quieter without the constant barrage
of texts from Jeff sharing his life's musings and telling you he loved
you. In addition to his love for his family and friends, Jeff's love for
the Texas Longhorns knew no bounds. Jeff loved all sports and had an
uncanny ability to recall the play-by-play of any Longhorn game he ever
watched. If you knew Jeff, you knew a witty, kind man with a giving
heart and ready smile. He was preceded in death by his grandparents
James Edward Conway, Sue Ann Conway, Harry Wayne Morris and Uva Yates
Morris; his cousin Chad Moses; his Aunt Donna Jean Conway Moses; and his
father-in-law Jules Burton LeBlanc III. He is survived by his wife, Jena
LeBlanc Conway; children Abigail Grace Conway, Jackson Lee Conway, Nancy
Grace Duncan, and Annalise Aimee Duncan; father Derrell Wayne Conway and
his wife Jan Johnson Conway; mother Loretta Morris Conway; sister and
brother-in-law Shannon Conway Duvall and Kevin Todd Duvall, and nieces
Anna Katherine Duvall and Elizabeth Paige Duvall; his mother-in-law
Nancy Suzanne Chesson; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and other
family members. A memorial service will be held on Thursday, June 23,
2022, at 1:00 pm at the Mary Immaculate Catholic Church in Farmers
Branch, Texas. Additionally, a celebration of Jeff's life will be held
that evening at the Addison Ice House at 7:00 pm for any family and
close friends who would like to raise a toast to Number #15. Hook 'em,
Jeff! In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the
American Cancer Society. |
