I met Jeff over 40yrs ago and he quickly became my little brother. He has been my friend and confidant and I will miss sharing my secrets with him. I know he is fishing with Stafford and they are having a contest to see who caught the biggest fish. No more pain and I know y'all are having a great time. I will miss you until we meet again.

Jeff always introduced me as his brother because that is the way he thought of me. We had some great times at the beach and he was forever making me laugh. I am proud he was my brother in Christ and look forward to seeing him healthy and walking and running in Heaven. I know you are in a better place but I will miss seeing you and spending time together.

Jeff was always our little play child when we played house at Aunt Hazel's. He was so cordial and kind to everyone and we never minded when he wanted to join our fun. I remember tutoring Jeff in math when he was in 6th grade. He worked so hard because he really wanted to learn. We all will miss him but know in our hearts he is well and good right now! My heart goes out to his family . May God comfort you in this time if grief. Love you, Wanda

My Uncle Jeff was one of the best Uncles' a niece could ask for. He was very loving and supportive and never failed to put a smile on my face, even when times were at their worst. He was the life of every family function. His sense of humor was just awesome. To know my Uncle Jeff, you knew two things, He loved the lord and he loved his family. Family was so important to him. The times when he was able, he would help anyone and everyone at anytime. He took us kids to movies, out to eat, and to just have fun. I know we all remember Queen Park!! Every birthday I would get a phone call at midnight, and a card in the mail. This was his tradition, and I always looked forward to it. I have many fond memories that I will treasure forever.
He was always there for me when I needed him, no matter how bad it was or what I did. His love was unconditional and so was the love I had for him.

Love you Uncle Jeff, Always!

Uncle Jeff taught me how to love my nephew and nieces.The way he loved me as an uncle he inspired me to take time out and call or text on people's birthdays and he showed me how loving your family and being a family is important , he showed me how to laugh even when I wasn't in the mood and the last thing he showed me was the Bible. He read to me a lot when I was little ,then I didn't understand but now I do .Arietta and my uncle Jeff saved my eternal life and for that I am great-full forever .The relationship I have with Jesus makes me happy for uncle Jeff ,the human selfish side of me feels sadness ,guilt and confusion . Uncle Jeff never new how much he changed people's lives. He sure had an effect on mine. If only uncle Jeff loved uncle Jeff the way we loved uncle Jeff I wouldn't be typing this now .I love you buddy you took some of my heart with you . I have an amazing bond with my whole family. Thank you uncle Jeff.
