There are no words to express how much we miss Jeff. Never in a million years could we ever have imagined life without him. He was so smart that he aced any task he encountered. We used to tease him about being better than MacGyver at the resourceful ways he would solve problems. Never one to sit still for long, he was constantly learning and doing. From taking excellent care of his family and home to receiving advanced IT certifications he earned the respect and love of so many people. As a loyal friend full of humor and wit, he will be missed by many. As a Husband and Father he is irreplaceable. As a Brother he leaves a huge void that cannot be filled. As a Son, his Father and I will miss him forever and couldn't have loved and appreciated him more for the good man he grew up to be. It was such a pleasure to see him accomplish so much and watch him have so much fun with his family and friends. Disney and Ocean City will never be the same.
It is a true testament to the wonderful impact he had when so many people came from everywhere to visit him during his last days. He was able to see how much he was loved as he fought a courageous battle. His devoted and loving wife Regina stood strong as he went through months of intense treatment. His brother Shawn traveled to be by his side and was his strength as his was failing. So many others did all they could to assist the family and care for his little girls. Such an outpouring of love touched our hearts and will always be remembered.
God is the giver of life and Jeff was a gift. We know our separation from him is only temporary and thank the Lord for the time we had with him. We also thank the Lord that he is out of pain and suffering but ask our Heavenly Father to give us all the strength to continue our journey without him. It will be hard and we cannot do it alone.
Loving Mom, Ava Freeman

Ava and family,
So sorry to learn of your loss. We are not suppose to part with our children. Still remember your boys calling the office and asking for their Mother as they wanted to be on their fishing or whatever--when their Mother wasn't available, I would tell them go ahead and it would be OK but call back in an hour (I learned to know them by their phone calls.
Know that you and your family are in my prayers.
Love to you, Martha
