JoAnn, The Krevitz Family is deeply saddened by your loss and send you prayers and love. No one understands grief until they fumble through the process so it is difficult to find words of comfort; therefore, we simply leave our hearts and door open. We love you and remain here for you at all times.

My sympathy to Jeff's family. I knew Jeff for only a recent few years and did not know his life story. I particularly enjoyed the Kathy Robinson tribute, because I did not know about Jeff's many accomplishments. It gave me a whole new insight into the person he was, and I thank Kathy for taking the time to write it. Again, my sympathy to the family. Sincerely, Paulette Janian

As young freshmen at BULLARD High School, there wasn't one of us girls who
wasnt in awe of the upperclassman Jeff Christensen. As Bullard's first male cheerleader, he had ladies swarming to the games just to watch him lead the fans through cheers and fancy routines. He became an icon and was so admired and highly respected. The teenage crushes were too many to count. His band, The Deltas, became a #1 sensation, and when they played weekends at the Falls at Bass Lake, the attendance was over the top. Popular, good looking, friendly, and a true gentleman, Jeff was always considered one of Fresno's best musicians and the crowds would attest to that fact when they were left with stranding room only at any of the shows.
I attended many of those summer weekend dances during my college years. Somewhere along the line we all became older and our youth gave way to serious studies and education. I never forgot about Jeff and have been a Facebook friend with him for years. I am so deeply saddened by his loss, but know that heaven has gained a quality man and an incredible musician. There may be a dance going on right now in the heavens above.
He will never be far from my thoughts. That's what those cute, talented high school boys will do to you, especially when they are first class all the way. Rest in Peace Jeff...you will be so missed from both far and near.
