Even though some time has passed, I think about my brother every day and will continue all the days of my life. Jeff was such a great mentor and friend for Lynn and I. We always had great times together even though many miles separated our families. God bless all that have reached out as well as those that have thoughts and prayers in their remembrance of brother Jeff.

Jeff was that great combination of funny and serious, dedicated and spontaneous. He was highly regarded at work and skilled in what he did everyday. Customers loved him. My thoughts and memories of Jeff are all great - I consider myself fortunate to have worked with him for nearly ten years. And we managed to get in a couple rounds of golf to boot.

So very sad to hear of Jeff's passing. He was a man that you would always say " he's the nicest guy." They are the very best. Prayers and very deepest condolences. Rich and Kathy Bowerman

I have so many great memories of Jeff (and Nancy was there too of course!). From taking care of us while our parents were out of town to hanging out at the lake, Jeff was always happy to be surrounded by friends. Praying for you Nancy. Jeff will be missed.

Jeff was a wonderful person, friend, and business associate. We had so many good times together on the golf course, fishing, and generally enjoying life. We also worked together solving problems and tackling tough issues. Ill always remember Jeffs can-do attitude. The word no was not in his vocabulary. Our thoughts and prayers are with Nancy and the family. Jeff will be missed by so many.

I worked with Jeff for many years at PacSci in Rockford IL. Jeff was a joy to work with, I learned a lot from him, and he was always willing to lend a hand outside of work too in order to help others. We enjoyed playing on the Industrial League softball team, where Jeff usually pitched.
Wishing the best to Nancy and family.

Uncle Jeff was the sweetest man. He was fun and always had a smile for me. He was very inclusive, and he always wanted to hear what was going on in your life. We love you guys, and we're praying for peace and comfort.

We were so shocked and saddened to hear about Jeffs passing! He was such a kind smiling happy gentleman, always busy in your beautiful yard or on one of the various projects. I always enjoyed stopping to chat while taking one of our many dog walks! He will be very much missed!! Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all your family!!❤

Jeff loved to fish and was an accomplished golfer, his swing reminiscent of Arnold Palmer. On the course, he was welcomed and envied in any foursome. As an avid sports enthusiast, the Packers were his team. His friends knew him as fun loving, caring and loyal. His co-workers knew him as a dedicated problem solver, an effective communicator and knowledgeable mentor to many.
His family meant everything to him and he’s remembered for the beautiful projects he designed and finished in his last months. Jeff Van Dixhorn was a wonderful friend and valuable business associate to many who had the good fortune to know and work with him.
