My heart goes out to Jeff's family, as I know he is at rest but his family will never be. Jeff touched so many lives and was such to pleasure to be around. His smile and upbeat personality will stay with me forever. Although Jeff did everything right God still decided he needed him more in heaven then on earth. Go with God as we all hope to see you there eventually. God bless you Jeff and your family and friends.

Keith, I was so shocked and saddened to hear of the sudden passing of your brother Jeff. My few recollections of Jeff from some three decades back are of a shy, quiet little blond boy of 9 or 10 years old. I have read some of the many comments in his honor on social media and it is quite clear that Jeff was a much loved son, brother, uncle, coach, friend and all around good guy that will be sorely missed. May Peace and light be with you and all of Jeff's loved ones as you lean on one another during this difficult time.

To Jeff's Mom and Keith. I have many fond memories of Jeff hanging out during the summers growing up and getting into as much trouble as high school kids could do nothing bad just goofing around. Mainly I knew Jeff through wrestling as we were in the same weight class so we would have had hundreds of hours practicing together and talking during the weekend tournaments. I just thought of Jeff recently as he ran the camcorder for the wrestling team at times and I could hear him cheering me on and was always to point out what I could have done better and had a quick chuckle. Jeff also, had a really funny humor bone and would make many of us laugh. I wished we could have seen each other later in life as I moved away. Until we meet again.... my thoughts and prayers are with the friends and family that love him so much, RIP!
