Not sure what to say?

Jeff and I worked together in the mid 80's, both of us so young and new in the advertising biz. Today, I had a rush of many fond memories of Jeff ... things we did, places we went, meals we had, laughs we shared. His presence is strong and lasting. He really had an impact. The world needs more Jeff St. Onges. Rest in peace Buddy. Peace to your family.

Jeff, you are missed. Your light, your wit, your humor and your creative energy are missed. Thinking of you today.

On this anniversary of losing Jeff, I wanted to share that one of my ways of remembering him daily is the collection of yellow rose bushes that I planted in front of my house. Every year we add two more yellow rose bushes in his memory. I know that Jeff would have preferred orchids, a flower he loved, but the yellow roses for Texas survive much better in the frigid winters of Vermont. When the roses are dormant, I enjoy a lovely framed picture of Jeff smiling in our house. He is never far...

What can I say about a heart as big as the sky. Jeff was one of the most creative, most generous, most witty, most gentle and sweet souls I met during my years in advertising, and more importantly, during my life. We worked together, grew apart, and then re-united a few years back after I had lost my husband to cancer. Jeff returned to New York for several visits and we had one of our wonderful marathon lunches and then we lost touch again late in 2018 because of my caregiving duties with...

We worked together in New York. We were both in the business. I was a writer and he was the art director. We worked on the same clients. We did business in the US and overseas (in China). We had a great friendship. We were colleagues. We loved to talk to each other. Jeff will be missed.

I knew Jeff in NYC. We were both in advertising. Together we worked in accounts here in New York City and for many clients. Together we were creatives (I was a copywriter and he was an art director) and we both ran a business in the US and even overseas in China. Jeff was wonderful. A colleague, a business associate and a friend. He is missed.

RIP Jeff. My condolences to your family.

Jeff was not a perfect person, but he was probably the closest thing to a perfect person that I have ever met. His penetrating intelligence and creative talent were overshadowed only by his enormous compassion, kindness and empathy for others. In the 29 years I was lucky enough to be his friend and (sometimes) creative collaborator, I found Jeff to be someone who often put others before himself. His love of Tex-Mex food, his fantastic laugh that would begin with a whoop, his pride in his...

Jeff was a spectacular man, of immense creative intellect and appreciation. His passion for all things visual and authentic will color my memories in all the days to come as I miss his dear, much beloved self. It is too soon for him to be gone from us. My thoughts are with his many wonderful friends and loving family.
