Lefteroff leaves an 11-year-old daughter who lives in Jackson, his mother, brother, aunt and grandmother.

“He was interested in cars, hunting and his daughter,” said Lyn Kirkland, Lefteroff’s aunt. He worked doing house renovations and was planning to go back to school, Kirkland said.

Lefteroff was born in Vicksburg and grew up in Hermanville, his aunt said. He graduated from Rebul Academy in Learned.

Details of the wreck were unavailable, but Davis said no other vehicles were involved.
