Jeff Bridgeman

Gordon Jeffrey “Jeff” Bridgeman, 63, passed away on June 29, 2026, in Mineral Wells, Texas.

Jeff was born on July 27, 1962, in Tacoma, Washington, to Gordon T. Bridgeman and Dora Lee Nicholson. Over the years, he built a life centered on family, friendship, hard work, and generosity.

Jeff is survived by his loving wife, Tanya Bridgeman, his children Tanner Bridgeman and his partner Thomas, Beau Bridgeman and his wife Lauren, Kenni Bridgeman-De La Fuente Dylan Vigil and his wife Jessica, Taylor Delgado and her husband Zach, and Kevin Harvey and his wife Shelby, his brother Mike Bridgeman and his wife Tammye, his sisters Dana Pate and her husband Danny, Kelly Carpenter and her husband Chuck, Nicole Yarbrough and her husband Ernie, and Donna Edmonds. His seven beloved grandchildren Sadie & Whitley Bridgeman, Anika & Bodevan De La Fuente, Axton & Asher Vigil, and Mila Harvey. Also his nieces and nephews, and lots of dear friends.

For more than 30 years, Jeff was the respected local business owner of TKB Sales who became known not only for his work ethic but for his willingness to help anyone in need. He had a heart of gold and was always ready to lend a hand, offer encouragement, or simply make someone feel welcome. Jeff truly never met a stranger, and the countless friendships he formed throughout his life are a testament to the kind of man he was.

Jeff loved his family deeply, and that love extended to everyone fortunate enough to know him. He had a love for all sports. When he wasn’t working, you could usually find him watching or napping to just about any sporting event on television with his best buddy, Saint who he loved dearly. He also had a passion for great food and never missed an opportunity to tell family and friends that whatever he was eating was probably better than what everyone else had.

Jeff’s kindness, humor, generous spirit, and unwavering love for those around him will leave a lasting impression on all who knew him. His legacy lives on through his family, his friends, and the many lives he touched with his compassion and genuine heart.

A memorial service celebrating Jeff’s life will be held on Friday, July 10, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at Baum-Carlock-Bumgardner Funeral Home in Mineral Wells, Texas.

Though he will be deeply missed, Jeff will be remembered with smiles, laughter, and gratitude for a life that was lived with love, generosity, and a heart open to everyone.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made to St. Jude’s in his memory.
