Jeffrey D. Rickert

Every once in a while, I think of Jeff and immediately I smile.

I still think of Jeff every so often and it brings a big smile to my face.

Whenever I think of Jeff, I smile.

Jeff was a brilliant thinker, an idealist, an organizer and an extraordinary friend. I will miss him so much.

Jeff and his family - I did not know you very well personally, but we shared a lot in common in terms of labor and environment questions. I am saddened by the news of Jeff's passing...

I still don't believe you have left us, Jeff. My mind won't let me believe it. I first met and worked with Jeff at the Campaign for America's Future. When he left CAF, we still stayed in touch, and I would see him on the streets of DC and chastise him for smoking. Jeff was so brilliant for his age and loved the pursuit of a green energy future. You will be forever loved in my heart and in the hearts of my friends, husband, and former co-workers.

My thoughts and condolences are with Jeff's family at this difficult time and his wide array of diverse friends and colleagues, who like me were surprised to hear of his sudden passing.

As a student leader, friend and alum at GW, Jeff was an inspiration to me and others. He often challenged my most basic assumptions and personal and organizational values through his thoughtful insights and dedicated approach to working with others to support communities and solve problems as true...

RIP Jeff, gone but not forgotten.
