Not sure what to say?

me and my brother harold or jr as everyone called him,we all grew up with jeff and michelle at annies house on rosedale street.we all called him puddy.he was always fun to be around and love to joke and play pranks on everyone.he was our best friend but we considered him family.we all miss and love him.

I had the privledge of getting to know Jeff while he was in the Lewisville Best Buy store. My sincere sympathies go out to his family and close friends. Jeff, we'll meet again one day, of that I am sure.

When I think about Jeff and the 3 years that I knew him, many thoughts come to mind. I was immediately impressed with his confidence, passion, and energy for business while appreciating his overwhelming charisma. Although I did not know Jeff outside of the professional arena, his committment level to Best Buy was unmatched and extraordinary. Jeff was a "team" player and looked to help others.....including me. I know that I speak for so many when I say that I will miss him. It's not often that...

Where do you begin talking about a man that touched so many lifes in such a short time? Jeff "ALWAYS" wanted to be the best at what he did. Second place was something that Jeff refused to acknowledge. To Jeff, second place was the first loser, and losing was never acceptable.
Jeff and I did not always see 'eye to eye', but when I needed help or had a question, he was the first person answer my questions, or he would just throw his arm around me and give me any help he could. Sometimes...

For every day that goes by I still can't believe that Jeff is gone. He made such a big impact on my life. When everyone had given up on me, Jeff was there to give me another shot. I will never forget you nor will I let you down. I will miss you.

Jeff and I worked at rival stores and I remember him as a super-competitive, focused and enthusiastic young man. Jeff had a natural ability to lead and inspire loyalty in others. A man like Jeff will be missed by many.

I am still shocked, stunned to know Jeff is gone. I have known Jeff since 1997 when I was a lowley computer sup at Irving Best Buy and he was my sales manager.

I remember the first day I saw him, he had just been promoted to Salas Manager and everyone looked around and said "Who is this kid?" He was so young. Boy how those impressions changed.

Wow, those were the days. I grew up with his advice, learning how to be passionate about the job. To never give up on a...

I had the greatest pleasure of being a brand new vendor rep in this area and Jeff was one of the first managers I met! As a rep, it is always great to meet a manager who is clearly loved by his staff, who listens (even when the days were hectic & the reps are all trying to get their message across for that visit). He made my job so much easier, was always helpful, kind, smiling and will be truly missed at Best Buy 55 (I met him at the Lewisville store 4 years ago) and it has been my genuine...

For the brief time that I knew Jeff, he was very friendly to me. Everytime he came into 205, he would shake my hand and always say "What's up brother." A good conversion would follow. For a guy that high with Best Buy to take the time to say what's up to a person at the base level just blew my mind. He was a great guy and will be missed. 205 loved Jeff.
