I encountered your music today, browsing around archives of tapes, I found your work as legitimate art, so much that I downloaded all of your libraries, before hitting the the devastating truth, I was heartbroken to know you were no longer among us, I take it upon myself to make sure your work lives on. You were among the greatest, yet among the unknown. Rest in peace. 5 / 6 / 18

Jeff was the creative inspiration that made Brotherhood of Boom flow back in the day. I have many wonderful memories of our crew, sitting, coffeeing ourselves, creating. Emma & Jack:Don't forget to look up at the sky on a clear night and look at the stars..I've always found this quote comforting, “Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.” Thinking of you both often...sending my heartfelt condolences.
