Buffalo, New York
Jeff LeBrun traveled under the World Trade Center on the subway on his way to school each day. When the twin towers toppled, LeBrun decided that he would rise to the defense of his country. "The reason why he and me joined was because of 9-11," said his brother Stanley LeBrun, who is also in the military. LeBrun, 21, of Buffalo, N.Y., was killed Jan. 1 by an explosive in Baghdad. He was based at Fort Drum. LeBrun quit his computer studies to join the Army. He wanted to ease the financial strain on his parents, who are Haitian immigrants. His father Joseph, a painter, has a bad back after years of work as a welder, and his mother Daniela makes sandwiches at the Orlando Sentinel cafeteria. LeBrun was a science-fiction fan who friends remembered as funny and vibrant. "He was a really, really, really sweet, sweet young man," his mother said. "I am lost now."
Today is Memorial Day 2025. 20 years and almost 5 months since you were taken away from us all. I remember everything - the phone call, dropping the phone and screaming-crying, feeling suffocated, the arrangements, going there for the services
The pain lessens over time, but it never really goes away 100%, does it.
I still miss you and love you, friend. Continue resting in peace.

Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and also let the LeBrun Family know that we recently sent Care Packages to American troops in the war zones. Each box carried a dedication sheet that includes the name, service information and a photo of your loved one. We recognize that this is a humble tribute, but we wanted you to know that it is heartfelt and made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals in the youth hockey community and beyond. We will not forget. May...

To the family and friends of Spc. Jeff LeBrun:
It has truly been my honor to sign Jeff's guest book these past few years. Unfortunately, due to complications from my Multiple Sclerosis, it has become increasingly difficult for me to continue at this time. Please forgive me and know that Jeff will always be remembered in my home.
With love and respect ~ Peggy

In Memory of Jeff ~ (Debra Estep)
Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you...
