Jeffery Steven Spaulding

Raeann,
I just wanted to write you a letter to tell you I am thinking about you and praying for you today. Although I knew Jeff was very sick and battling this horrible thing (all I can call it), I wasn’t prepared and had no idea how to feel other than incredibly shocked, enraged, numb- in terrible emotional pain when I found out that your Dad had actually passed away. I have to fight back my tears whenever I think of Jeff and the amazing relationship you two have- all the great...

Not One of the Many

I.

Many men march to the beat of their own drum.
Jeff was not one of the many. He did not march.
He DANCED.
in dynamic rhythm.
tapping.
twirling.
twisting.
to his own movie soundtrack.
He SCATTED.
like an improvising, jazz songster.
deedle-deeing.
doodle-op-a-dooing.
be-bop-a-booing.
to his own life-song.
He HIKED.
up mountains.
down valleys.
to the edge.
on...

I would like to thank all who came to Jeff's Celebration of Life, and all those who were there in spirit. It was a wonderful send off to a man who loved everyone and everything life had to offer. Again thank you so much for all your thoughts and prayers. Love to you all Jill

The world has lost a wonderful spirit and left a better place in his absence.
Peace be to you and your family.
Sincerely,
Cathie Harder Doudy

I will always remember Jeff's raspy voice and overall joy of life and his family. He was always so excited and passionate about his girls and Suzi as well as his career. He will be missed. All of our love to you, sorry we will not be able to make the service, but our thoughts and love will be with you all.

What I loved most about Jeff was his incredible enthusiasm for his job, daughters, wife, and life.
I admired his desire to be successful and to continue learning new things in his field of finance.
Thanks to Jeff, I was able to help pay for my daughter's college education. He always took such good care of my portfolio.
I still hear his raspy voice and great laugh.
He will be greatly missed by me.
Love to Suzi, Stevie, Raeann, and the extended family.
It breaks my heart that...

Jeff, I will miss you and all the great hikes we went on together.
Your best friend and buddy

Even in the last days your positive and genuine warm "back home" nature was an insperation to everyone around you. Fawn memeries of you will never die and you live on in all those that knew you my friend! The world has lost a truly wonderful person, but heaven has gotten a serious humor that will...
