I just learned today; December 5th, 2023. He was amazing with my shoulder surgery and had my admiration and respect. I'm sure he is with his Lord. May God be with all those who mourn his loss.

So sad to learn about Jeffs' passing. We are the same age, as both his family and mine are family friends. Actually his parents are my God Parents.

While his passing deeply upsets me, Jeff...

Dr Garst was our hunting neighbor. He owned property next
to us. He was very friendly and very kind. I tried buying his UTV and he gave it to me instead. Just a very kind man and we will miss not seeing him during hunting season. He was the best neighbor we could ask for
