This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, JEFFERY OLA who was born in New
Orleans Louisana on September 02, 1965 and passed away on January 06, 2001 at the age of 35. We will
remember him forever.


Hello, my name is Jeffery Allen Ola, I was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. Early in my childhood I
moved to Centerville, Tennessee, Hickman County, it is a small town outside of Nashville, Tenn. I
have my mother Georgie King, step-dad Wayne King, brother Gary Ola, sister Cathy Ola, here in my
life.

As a teen ager I dropped out of school in the eight grade as some teens tend to do. I thought
working and having my own money was more important. Soon to find out I wanted my education. I never
practiced for my G.E.D., one day I decided I would try to test just to see how I would score,
imagine this I passed with honors. Soon after, I was even asked to help instruct the G.E.D. class,
at this time I was working as a mechanic, one of the best you might say, so I have often been told.
I wanted more than this though, my little brother Gary was working as an EMT for the ambulance
service here in our town, I found that interesting, I thought I would test my luck again. Myself and
my little sister went and signed up for the EMT class in Columbia, Tenn. Good did I do? Again I
topped out as highest in my class, I went to work as an EMT. Also, not long after I wanted to expand
my career, so I applied for my paramedic licensee, great job again, I passed, with honors. Soon
after I was teaching an EMT class, also instructing a paramedic course also. I loved my job, enjoyed
helping others always.

I'm a very good hearted person, would help a stranger in need. I'm a big man with a very big heart.
I have never ending love for my family and friends as well. I have two children of my own a girl,
Christian Leoma Ola, boy Cody Ray Ola, I love my children dearly. So many times in life when asked
what I wanted out of life? My reply was a happy family, steady job, and someone could love me as
much as I could them. I just wanted to be happy and everyone around me to be as happy, I tried so
hard in my life to please everyone. I managed in my life time on this earth to succeed in many ways,
I was an EMT, then a paramedic, I became a private pilot, had two loving children a beautiful home,
a lovely mother, brother, and sister, a great job (with Metros a paramedic) many friends, to
numerous to mention. As you can remember me saying I have a heart as big as Texas, guess what? I
never had a wife to love me as I did her, my children's mother and I separated after a few years.
Soon I remarried to someone I thought hung the moon, I loved her more than I loved life its self. A
few years into our marriage I began to see it was one sided, still I loved her, more than ever.

Now I must tell you a sad story, I was murdered shot down in my very own front yard, shot nine times
to be exact. While on the cell phone with my mother, my last words ever to my mother was "my God
mother I've been shot." My murder happened on January 6, 2001, to this very day it has not been
solved, good strong clues, good information, good evidence, just not solved yet. I didn't mean to
drop off the subject of my wife, I hope before to long my family will be able to tell you the rest
of this story, and of my wife also!!

I am buried in Memory Gardens in Centerville Tennessee, if a grave should be beautiful, I must say I
have the most beautiful one there, thanks Mom, Gary and Cathy for a job well done.

I have a reward out for any information leading to the arrest, or conviction for my murder, any
information any one has big or small would greatly be appreciated. You'll never know how bad an
incident such as this hurts a family member til you have experienced such a loss as this. Please
call Centerville, Tennessee police department, @729-5146 if you have any information about this.
What may seem like only a few minutes to you, could mean a lifetime to my family, please help
convict my cold hearted killers. I was an innocent man in my yard at my home, trying to live a
normal life. My life was ended for no cause of my own, I now have two innocent children growing up
in such a cruel world with no father. This weight now bearing on my mother, in her already grief
stricken frame of mind, this is so unfair to all, especially me. I only wanted to be love, please
love me now and help me convict my murderer.

Thanks for taking the time to read a page in my life, I will have more to come thanks to my family,
the only ones who truly loved me (immediate family).
Looking down on everyone from Heaven.

Love Jeffery Allen Ola
