Henry Jefferson McLeod, 75, of Anderson, SC, passed away Tuesday, December 24, 2019. Born January 5, 1944 in Queens, NY, he was the son of the late Henry Jefferson McLeod and Rosalie O'Brien McLeod. Jeff was a graduate of The Citadel, Michigan State University and University of South Carolina School of Law. After graduation from The Citadel, he proudly served his country in the United States Marine Corps. He was a member of the Electric City Shag Club and the Anderson Cotillion Club. Jeff was an attorney in Anderson, SC. International travel was Jeff's passion. He enjoyed the variety of cultures, languages, food, architectures, governments and religions encountered on his trips abroad. Jeff was a voracious reader and savored an assortment of genres. Having an inquisitive nature, just a little information about a topic did not pacify Jeff's interest. With Google at his fingertips, he was able to quench his thirst for more knowledge. Jeff had a great love for music, every morning began with his saying, "Alexa, play "Ghost Riders in the Sky" by Frankie Lane". From that point, Jeff would sing; and his singing would continue all day. Loving people and being a social butterfly, was evident by the great many parties he hosted or attended. And Jeff loved to dance. He put emotion into motion; and it was obvious to see his love of dancing through his well-controlled and smooth moves. Our lives are richer by having known such a happy, fun and loving soul as Jeff McLeod. Jeff was a very intelligent gentleman and played trivia every Wednesday at McGee's for 18 years with ten other friends. His team's name was the McGeezers. Another passion was politics, and MSNBC and CNN were constant companions every day in his home. He was constantly asking strangers, "Are you registered to vote"? Jeff knew the power of everyone's vote and that it was a right not everyone enjoyed. Jeff was very gregarious, never met a stranger and had a smile that lit up a room. He will be missed by his family, many friends and by his beloved Yorkie, Georgia. He is survived by his wife, Sylvia Roberson McLeod; sons, Jeffery McLeod (Tori) of Knoxville, TN, Phil McLeod (Crystal) of Hancock, MI and David McLeod (Phebe) of Erie, CO; grandchildren, Hanna, Ian, Ella, Corrina and Jack McLeod; and sisters, Pat Johnson of Greenwood, SC and Renie McLeod of Anderson, SC. In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by the mother of his sons, Marian "Polly" Spires McLeod. A celebration of life will be held from 12:00pm-3:00pm, Monday, December 30, 2019 at the Anderson County Woman's Club. The event will be filled with food, fun and laughter.
