Jeffrey Ridgway Sr. (November 17, 1963 - June 5, 2016) or Psycho Dad was Jesse and Jeffrey Ridgway Jr.'s father and the overall primary antagonist of the Psycho Series. His acts of rage, occasional temper tantrums, as well as his actions in general, have caused some considerable tension between him and his two sons. Jeffrey Sr. was also a target for manipulation, as when Jesse used him to dig a hole on which he was going to soak his brother in with mud. Although not manipulated, he is used as a pawn to banish Jesse twice. It's likely a history of being lied to has caused him to harbor trust issues with his younger son.
