Cookeville Codes Department Director Jeff Littrell Passes Away

The City of Cookeville announced Tuesday morning that longtime Codes Department Director Jeff Littrell passed away.

Littrell has served as the first and only Codes Director since 1997. He began his employment with the city in 1989 as an Engineering Technician.

City Administrator James Mills said Littrell was at the forefront of the development of the City’s computer operations and geographic information system programs.

“We will greatly miss Jeff for his leadership, knowledge, and skills, but, most importantly for his genuine friendship,” Mills said. “The flags at all City facilities will be flown at half staff throughout this week in respect and to honor Jeff for his work here.  Please remember his family in thought and prayer during this very difficult time.”
