Jeffrey A. Rhinehart

Jeff was a man of faithfulness for which I will always remember. He was faithful to the Lord and walked humbly with him. Even throughout his illness he remained strong and faithful. I know he was greeted in the heavens with “well done, my good and faithful servant.” He was faithful to his family; he loved and protected them. He was faithful to education and children; believing in his work and each child he worked with. Gwen, Kaylee, Josh, and Nathan-I want you to know you hold a very...

If you think of a pepple dropped into a pool of still water and of how the ripples go ever outward, this is how Jeff's life has been - the countless lives that have been touched by his gentle manner, humor and unwavering faith and love go ever outward.The touch of the Master's hand has been reflected in Jeff's very being and continues on with his family. How grateful we are to know that families are forever.

..and He said.."Well done, My faithful Servant."

Jeff, your life is a testimony to Christ and your spirit will continue to live through the many lives that you touched. Thank you for being a witness to the rest of us.

Gwen and Family:
Jeff has made such a positive impact on more people than you will ever know. I feel so blessed to have known him. Amy, thank you so much for the postings on your website; I have shared your family story of inspiration and faith with many of my friends and family. God bless you always. Phil 4:13

Remember that you might not have been ready to let him go, because you needed him with you, but it was his time, and he's no longer in pain and you will see him again.

The passing of Jeff was extremely bittersweet for me. I was deeply saddened because I lost a friend and a man that I truly admired. At the same time, I smiled because I knew Jeff didn't have to fight anymore. I understand he was a runner before I met him. I have this vision of Jeff running free. I knew that he heard the precious words of Jesus Christ, "Well done good and faithful servant." Jeff was my Lead Teacher for my first two years at OHVA and he encouraged me in many many ways. ...

Mr.Rhinehart was the coach at VCA for afterschool baseball. He knew alot about sports and he was pretty good at it to. He believed in God very much and he incorporated God into baseball as well. He was a friend and a teachure to me. It is sad that he died but now he is with God. Thank you Mr.Rhinehart for all the good memories.

Gwen and kids,
My sympathy with your loss. I do however rejoice knowing that Jeff is now praising our Heavenly father and will everyday in the presence of the Father. Jeff was and will continue to be an inspiration to me for his incredible witness throughout his illness. Jeff fought the great fight to the end. His undying dedication to his Lord, Family, students, friends and co-workers should be an example for us all to follow. Gwen please know that we will continue to pray for you daily...

May the thoughts and prayers of those around you comfort you and the children during this dificult time.
