How can it be 5 years since you left the physical world? You left too soon. You left too suddenly. Not even a chance to say goodbye. I think about you often and wish you were still here.

We were so sorry to learn of Jeffrey's sudden and unexpected death. He was so young and we are sure he will be missed by you and his family.

Dear Dick and Ann,
I am so so sorry to hear of Jeffery's passing. Katherine told Mary Beth and I last week. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family at this time. I am now sure he is walking with the Angels as Mary Beth has told me you both raised the most beautiful family a mother and father could have and ask for.

The Stievaters welcomed me into their home going back to when Lynn and I were at school together in the early '80s. I knew them all. Jeff was quiet in those days, and through high school, but he was always smiling and always kind. To the Stievater Family, I'm so very very sorry for your enormous loss. May you all find peace, and comfort in each other during this time.

This is heart-wrenching. Jeff was always very good people. Treated you like you wanted to be treated. Not that he couldn't be wry, or get perturbed, but I don't recall a single instance where he was ever mean. And he was almost always in good cheer when I knew him in both high school and college. Jeff, you're going to be missed. So sorry. CHS c/o '88.

Dear Lynn Stievater & the Stievater family,
Jeff was an outstanding, kind, loving man who will be greatly missed. He was the light of Lynn's life, and a big part of our world as well. We will never forget him and his fabulous smile. This is a heart wrenching loss to everyone. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

We are sorry for your loss and wanted to share to bring some light to this dark time. We held a staff meeting to enable people to reflect on Jeff and how he impacted their lives. Each person had a wonderful story or two to share. Whether it was his ability to convey information without sounding condescending or his awesome way he greeted folks each morning. Each and every coworker that he interacted with all feel a void but are able to fill it with great memories of Jeff because he was such a great guy. We are all sorry for your loss but know that Jeff lives on in the hearts of many. Signed - the Meritain QA Team

Many years ago, Jeff and his sister Lynn worked as pages at Crane Library, where I worked. They were both such good, hard working, nice polite young kids. So shocked to see that Jeff has left this world at such a young age. Condolences to entire family.

Dearest Lynn and the Stievater family,
The last time I spent with Jeff at a family wedding in Florida he was the happiest I had ever seen him. While I am shocked and saddened at his death I am glad that the warmth of Jeff's inner glow is the image that will stay with me.

Jeff, my son Jeremy and their five friends, while students at Buffalo City Honors, spent many Sunday afternoons at my house, eating pizza and wings while watching the Buffalo Bills. I feel incredibly sad and I offer condolences to his family. RIP Jeff.
