Major Jeffrey “Jeff” Alan Eidson, age 59, of Concord, passed away September 30, 2024.  Jeff grew up in Riverdale and graduated from Riverdale High School in 1982, where he was on the football team. After graduation, he served five years in the National Guard, repairing radar cameras on airplanes. 

 

Jeff began his 40-year law enforcement career with the Clayton County Police Department in 1986. He was part of the uniform and motorcycle patrol divisions, rising to the position of Lieutenant.
