Earl was born in North, a son of the late Wilson Jeffcoat and the late Dell Jeffcoat.

He began working for Aiken Co-op in 1962 where he retired after 33 years of dedicated service.   In 1965 he opened Jeffcoat’s Tax Service where he worked until 2020.  He enlisted in the South Carolina National Guard in 1966 and retired after 23 years of service.  Earl had an active work life and upon retiring went on many mission trips including Ecuador, St Croix, Honduras, Guyana, Zimbabwe, Haiti and many Salkehatchie service groups in the summer.  Being very mission oriented he inspired many others to serve on the mission field.  Earl’s commitment to God through the United Methodist Church was one of discipleship.  He dedicated his time and passion to the church, having served on every committee as chair at some point in his journey and also sang in the church choir.

Earl was mayor of North from 2003 to 2015. He was a member of the Masons, Jamil Temple where he held several officer degrees and active in the American Legion.
