Jeff, you are in my thoughts every minute of the day. There is nothing I do that we didn't do together at some point in our lives. I have cryed for you and rejoiced in your memory. Nothing can discribe the pain and sadness that I feel in my heart. I miss you and I will see you in about 55 years or so. Get the boat ready ! Love always, your cousin Charlie.

Kim -
We just recently learned of Jeff's passing and were deeply saddened. We were so sorry we couldn't have been there for you at that difficult time. However, we know you were surrounded by many wonderful friends and family who loved you both and supported you. We are aching for you. You have been in our thoughts and prayers. We were remembering funny times with the two of you and could even remember the gift you and Jeff gave Kelly at her shower almost ten years ago! Please know you are loved and we have missed seeing you. Peace and love.

Dear Family and Friends of Jeff,
I would like to offer you my sincere condolences. I recently learned of Jeff's death and like many others was surprised and saddened by the tragic news. Jeff always had kind words and wise advice at just the right time. Both he and Kim offered support to me during my most trying times, and for that, I thank you both. I am grateful for the opportunity to have known Jeff. With time, may you find peace.
Love and Strength, Kristen

Dear Loved ones of Jeffrey Kitson, I am Jeffrey's first Wife Anne, I just found out May 14, I am so so sorry, especially to Marisa, Kim, John, Steve, Sheila,Alfred, Charlie, Joanne and all of the family, friends and patients. It is because of Jeff that I became a chiropractor. Our college days in Iowa were some of the best in my life. I am in shock and deeply saddened that Jeff is no longer with us. He was a one of a kind, very compassionate, and the world was a better place for him having been here. Please feel free to contact me. Love you Jeff, Love Anne

I miss Dr. Kitson every day. In the short time I was his patient, we connected and he has made a huge difference in my life. What a smart, funny, caring man...so much more than just a chiropractor. My thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones as they deal with his loss. We are all richer for having known him.

Total shock! I just saw Jeff and his smiling face at the beginning of April. I've been a patient for over 8 years. He had always gone beyond his required duty on many, many occasions for me and I am truly greatful for his support, help, and kindness.
No one could ever take his place.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Kitson Family and his fiancee. I have had the same tradgey in my life and you will never to be able to comprehend why something like this happens to someone like Jeff. He always wanted me to be in the best mental and physical shape as possible. He was a very sweet man. I wish he would have taken a little of his own wonderful advice. I just found out today since I was due for my appointment. I am deeply shocked and saddned. Always know one thing, he IS finally happy. Life is so short...love them while they are here.

My mom, Marisa Ferguson, Jeff's fiance, was so blessed to have him in her life. I wish I could have gotten to know Jeff a little better while he was here. I am sorry to him and my mom that I was not more supportive of their incredibly amazing relationship. I hope they both understood why I wasn't. He made my mom, the most strong, beautiful, and caring person I know unbelievably happy, and I wish I could tell him thank you so much for caring for her the way he did . I know he was the happiest he ever had been in his entire life while he was with my mom, and I am glad that he spent the last months of his life with her. He must have been a wonderful, compassionate person to make my mom the happiest I have ever seen her. I pray he is in a beautiful place right now, watching over my mom and taking care of her. One day I am sure they will see each other again. May he rest in peace. And to my mom, I love you. *Marisa and Jeff*

I was shocked at the news of Jeff's passing. My heart filled with pain at the thought that I would never get to see him again. He helped me in so many ways. Thanks Jeff for everything. Kim, I am truly sorry for your loss.

Kim, I have watched you over the past few weeks trying to make sense or reason of what has happened. It seems to those who did not know Jeff as well as you that he had every reason in the world to continue in this life, but they could not see the turmoil he felt inside. This was something you have known for sometime and wholeheartedly tried to help Jeff overcome. His turmoil was so deep he was never able to overcome it.
Hold close Kim some of the last conversations you had with Jeff. Remember the one specifically, two weeks before he left this world when he told you, "Kim, I trust that you know that I Love You, and that you are the Love of my Life". This was his way to let you know how he truly felt about you.
Jeff and you shared a WONDERFUL life together with much laughter and joy. You shared years of dog trials and competitions with the family that the two of you made together with the dogs. Remember trips, holidays, conversations, moments and all that the two of you shared together. Remember a wonderful practice that the TWO of you built from scratch and poured your heart and soul into. The patients and friends from this practice were at your side at the Memorial Service, what a statement of loyality that was. It touched my heart to see how important you were to each and every one of them. I'm sure Jeff was never aware of how loved he truly was until that day. These things you will have forever Kim as Jeff will always be in your heart.
My thoughts and prayers remain strong for you and your family who always welcomed Jeff as one of their own. I would also like to extend my deepest sympathy to his Jeff's family.
I would like to share this with you:
To Those I Love:
If you could know what I know now, you would not cry.
For I have found to my surprise, we do not die.
We only slip into a new and fresh reality.
Like taking off old worn out clothes, and being free.
If you could see what I see now, you would not grieve.
For God is real and all is love, so please believe.
I see you now as I have never seen before,
And I will love you always, only more.
If you could feel what I feel now, you would be free.
For Peace and joy are what we have eternally.
So dry your tears and know that I am with you still,
I loved you so - I always will.

My heart is filled with sadness and there is a pit deep in my stomach. Jeff was not only my doctor, but he became my friend ... and became a part of my family's lives. Visiting him weekly or monthly was always a looked-forward-to moment of rejuvenation. He will be sorely missed.

I never had the good fortune to meet Jeff, but I live with a little piece of him-the grandson of his dog Chance.
by the sweet temperment and the wonderful hunting skills of this dog, I do have feel I know, just a little, about this man.
I know he was loved and will be missed by friends, family, and former patients.That he had dedication and passion.
Rest well, Jeff. I mourn your passing, and the lost chance to know you.

Marisa, You were blessed in this life to have known,loved and been loved by Jeff. When in my presence everytime you two looked at each other, i saw and felt the electricity and passion you two shared. It was love in the puriest form and his heart was filled with only you. Look at the sky at night, he will be the brightest star looking down upon you. Jeffs gentle,thoughtful,considerate soul is at peace. May the hurt you feel be replaced with all the wonderful memories you made together. Jeff will always be in your heart, as well as in the hearts of all the lives he touched personally and professionally. He will be missed by all who knew him.

Dear Kim, your family, and all the Kitson family - My friend Becky See wrote for another friend of ours who passed away recently. I hope you all find it of some comfort.
Come Home
I see you are tired and ready to come home. Come, my child, this journey you will not make alone. Come, take my hand, and I will guide you on.
I see you are weary and in need of a rest. Come, my child, you will be my guest. Come home with me now, for I love you best.
Do not fret about your loved ones left behind. Don't you worry my child, for each of you is mine. And I will bring each home when it comes the time.
I understand you are saddened that for a while you must part. But know that you will be forever in their hearts. Know that death is not the end, simply a brand new start.
My love will ease sorrow and heal great pain. Come, my child, know they will see you again. Come home with me now for my love truly reigns.
I see you are tired. Sleep and be at ease. The body's but a shell. The soul soars free. Come, take my hand, and be at peace.

He will be greeted on the Bridge by his buddies, 4 legged and 2.

His passion for perfection, is what made Jeff unique.
The sence to acknowledge emotion, came naturally to him.
Being blessed with the ability, to be a friend, is what gave him peace, within himself.
Rest peacefully, my friend, with Bubba at your side.
