JOHN, Jeffrey Eugene
Jeff was born February 4, 1970 and passed away on April 24, 2012. Jeff was raised in East Canton, Ohio. He proudly served as an infantryman in the U.S. Army at Ft.

Jeff is survived by his wife Shelly, two year old son Aven, father Timothy John Sr, brother Timmie and Eric, and half sisters Kristina and Bobbi Jo.

Jeff will be memorialized on Saturday April 28 at 2pm at the Folsom Community Center located at 52 Natoma St, Folsom, CA 95630.

Jeff, you will be greatly missed by all of us that worked with you at Maloof Sports and Entertainment/Arco Security. I will always remember you standing in the tunnel on game night with your contagious smile. I'll remember that smile. May God Bless you and your family.

Jeff: You will be greatly missed by your work-family. You had the ability to brighten anyone's day, just by walking by whisting your bird calls. You were the guy that would always go above and beyond to help someone out, and never ask for any recognition. Heaven's gain is our loss. But promise me, JJ, that you'll look down upon us and warm our hearts with your smile. Rest in peace.

I worked with Jeff years ago and I am so sorry to hear of his passing. This is such a sad loss, Jeff had the kind of personality we need in the world today. I really hope his son can be taught what a great person he was. My prayers go out to the family, rest in peace Jeff.

JJ - you were the heart and soul of our department; a loving father and a caring friend. Once you loved someone, you never stopped loving them. If you believed in someone, you never lost faith in them. Your legacy will be Erlynn and Aven, along with all the children you were a father to, including Devon. Your light will shine on through those of us who were touched by your incredible strength, love and belief that each and every life matters. I have lost a dear friend who made me laugh, made me cry & most of all, made me believe in the power of one. My life has been made richer for the time I had with you & I will continue to carry on your good work, helping when I see a need, offering a hand to hold and a shoulder to cry on. You will live on in each and every heart that you touched. Rest in Peace, my friend.

Life is so very fragile. We dont realize that until we loose someone dear to our hearts. Jeff left a loving print on our hearts that brings a smile to our face.
Thank you for that dear friend. Peace be with you.

Jeff you were a great friend to me you helped give me a place to get away from things. I'm glad I came up to your house and visit and got to BBQ. Haley will miss you as well. I still remember you telling her if she wasn't good for me I was gonna call and tell you and you were gonna tell Santa. Its not gonna be the same anymore now that your gone, I wont have my buddy to talk to about iddues and cheer me up.
When I told Haley you passed she asked me "why did Jeff have to go to heaven so soon?" I cried and couldn't tell her anything. We will miss you so very much!
My prayers to your family and your sweet beautiful little boy that I'm greatful for meeting and watching you with him you were a great dad.

Jeff, you will be greatly missed by your Folsom family. I will miss the whistle you always did or the "what's up", in the break room. You where always willing to help out and be there when someone needed it. You won't be forgotten and your light will shine on.

Jeff, I think you know how many lives and hearts you touched here in Folsom because you took the time to care. For me personally, you helped me through some pretty tough times and you could always make me laugh, even when life was far from being funny. I am honored to have known you, and you were truly the kind of friend some only dream of ever having. Beyond the world as we know it, there is a place where we will all meet again – where we never have to say good-bye.

The angels looked down from heaven one night
They searched for miles afar,
And deep within the distance
They could see a shining star.
They knew that very instant
That the star was theirs to gain,
So they took you up to heaven
Forever to remain.
Look down on us from heaven
Keep us free from hurt and pain,
You'll always be within my heart
Until we meet again.
You will be greatly missed... Cailyn will be missing out on one hell of an uncle... ( 143 Tim..X?X?.. )
Rest easy Jeff... lots of love

Jeff, we all had so much fun and laughs in high school. You were so wild and crazy. When we would chat on facebook, I would always say something about LaVell and you would say something funny about it and joke with me. I am really going to miss you. God bless and comfort the John family, you will hold dear in all of our hearts.

I was shocked and saddened to read about Jeff's passing. I knew Jeff just briefly when I worked at Sacramento County as a Volunteer. He always stopped by my desk to chat. When he told me that he was leaving to go to Folsom, I was sad to see him go. He was such a very nice person and had the most beautiful blue eyes. My condolences to all your family.

John - words cannot express enough who you were or your impact in life. I can at least state that I treasured our BA26 moments, when we became family and pulled each other through with great pride, confidence, humour, and dedication - I will miss your positive spirit. May God Comfort And Strengthen Your Family. Rest in Perfect Peace, my friend.

Daddy I love you so much with all of my heart. I'm so proud of everything you accomplished in your life. You were so giving, loving, and inspirational. So much of what you instilled in me has guided me in raising Emighlee. Thank you so much for everything you have ever done for me. I couldn't have asked for a better father. You were there for me no matter what from diapers to braces to cheer competitions and even being the chain gang at all my football games and using half time to get the whole squad hot cocoa to college to becoming a papa. I don't think I could ever say thank you enough. I love you daddy, you're forever in our hearts and can't wait to see how Aven grows up to be as great of a man.
