Rachael,
We miss Jeff everyday.
All our love,
Todd and Gabrielle

I knew Jeff and Rachel in 1999-2003 while stationed at Elmendorf and working with Rachel. I just remember how happy Jeff always was with that big smile on his face. He had aspirations of being a pilot then and I knew he would do it. He just had the "it" factor. What a unique individual and a great loss. There is now a beautiful soul in Heaven to pilot GODS great angel fleet.

Jeff was a friend to all and joy to be around.. The legacy that he brought to his family and friends was to "live life to the fullest and be a friend to the next person you meet." His love of life needs to be celebrated.

I remember how Jeff always treated my husband as an equal, even though my husband is enlisted and he was officer. That meant alot to us and actually gave Dylan a great respect and admiration for Jeff. I also admired Jeff and Rachael. Anyone could tell by just looking how much they loved and adored each other. Jeff was an amazing man and behind every amazing man, there is an amazing woman! We love you Rachael!!!

God determines who walks into your life..... and when he call you home. I wished you could haved stayed for you family longer.
to your family, there is nothing left but God, to help you with your loss that is when you find out that God is all you need.
I miss you Jeff, thanks for all the good memories you shared with Eric and our family in New Freedom Pa. I will alsways remember your respected you had for my home, myself and Daddy Joe.
Love ya! Mrs Teresa

I knew Jeff when we work together in the 12th FS, he was a thoughtful and dedicated young man. Jeff completed his mission here on earth and now he has a new mission with Heavenly Father. You family will be together again Rachael! Jeff, you will be missed here on earth!!

Jeff will not be forgotten, he was the kind of guy who never let things get to him; he always smiled. I'm glad that I had the opportunity to work with him and was fortunate enough to know him. He will never be forgotten.

Jeff was an such an awesome person. Everything he did was with a smile on his face. He touched so many lives without even trying to. I am honored to call him my friend and every day we had with him was a true blessing! Rachael, we will ALWAYS be here for you and the boys. You are family and we love you all so very much!

Rachael, TJ & Tyler. I am very sorry for your loss...my thoughts and prayers are with you.
