Jeff was one of the kindest people I had the pleasure of working with. We use to talk about life, God and other deep topics. It always brightened my day. I am deeply saddened by his passing. He was such a gifted Goldsmith and I am blessed to have so many beautiful pieces he made for me. My heart goes out to all his family. Thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Jeff was an amazing boss when I worked for him at Quiznos. He treated his employees like family and I have many fond memories of my days there. I remember when he first met his wife that was all he could talk about at work. My heart goes out to his loved one's he leaves behind. Rest in peace Jeff.

Jeff, I am heartbroken to hear about your passing. I enjoyed working with you back in 2004 and am saddened that your life ended so suddenly. I am at a complete loss of words, I guess I'm still in shock.

To the family, I am so very sorry for your loss. I pray that his young children will remember the good times. I'm here for you and praying for you.

Jeff was a wonderful man. My husband and Jeff go back to the golfing days in their 30's. But knew each other well before that. He and my husband designed my second wedding ring as well as my mothers ring, and of course, they were beautiful! He was so very gifted. Our family is so shocked and saddened by his passing. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Especially his young widow and children.Rest in peace Jeff, we will miss you dearly.

My deepest condolences to Jeff's family. I knew Jeff all the way back to grade school through high school. It sounds like he grew up to have a wonderful life and beautiful family. Many heartfelt prayers to all of his family, but especially to his wife and kids. May God be with you and comfort you in you're hardest days.

I'm so sorry for your loss Christy. I was shocked. We are moving back to Oregon, so please contact me if you need anything. Rest in peace Jeff.

Jeff was my first roommate. We laughed and played through our early 20s with joy and adventure. We spent our early 30s golfing with amusement and frustration.
When I think of the Good Old Days, I think of Jeff.
Best wishes, Christy.

Jeff was one of my closest friends since we met in 2009. He was a true friend. We used to meet weekly in order to encourage and pray for each other to work to be better Husbands and better Fathers. Just like his job as a Goldsmith, Jeff had a heart of Gold. His passing was far too soon.

He said to me two months ago, "Ed, thank you for taking care of my Family." My wife Katherine and I are committed to supporting Christy, Grant, Lucas and Savanah in any way that we can. I coach Grant in T-Ball and we regularly get together as a Faith Family through our Small Group at Church. I cannot imagine how hard it is and will be, to lose a Father as a young child. Furthermore, for Christy, to move forward as a young Widow with three precious kids. My empathy will translate to serving Christy and the kids in any way that I can.

I take solace and comfort that Jeff is in a much better place now. My faith is in Christ and His words from Scripture, that says:

Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me (Jesus). In My Father's house (God's dwelling place in Heaven) are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. (John 14:1-3, NKJV).

I love you Jeff, and I look forward to our reunion in heaven.
