Jeff, you will be missed more than words can express. For the last 15 years we shared holidays, birthdays, and family dinners. You always brought laughter and kindness to our hearts. You were an amazing cook, skilled mechanic, avid hunter, and had so many more talents. We love you so much and your memory will live on in our hearts.
I’m so sorry to hear this. Jeff and I went to high school together and had a lot of fun and laughs together. My thoughts and prayers are with you Jeff, God Speed my friend…
God bless and Godspeed old friend.
This has broken my heart to hear Jeff.I just found out yesterday and I’m just so sad to hear you’re gone. I can’t remember how many years you worked for me but they were all good ones. And going to the lake with that old stand up jet ski. It would always break but you would always fix it. When it did everyone would holler “where’s Jeff” lol. You’d roll your eyes and come fix it. I’ll always remember you as funny and kind and sad to know you’re gone. You were a good guy Jeff♥️
Jeff,
You were light, love and laughter with your family. Your presence will be missed but the love you brought to all around you will never be forgotten. I knew you when you were tiny. You were sweet and kind as a young man. Know that you were loved by your family and those who knew you.
Gone too soon Jeff. Many hearts are broken due to your departure. May you rest until God says – Daniel 12:13
