Jeffrey Jude Stoppenhagen

What a wonderful son, father and all around caring human being...that is Jeffrey!

The toughest and most cruel time of the year to suffer the loss of a loved one. My continued love to Rita and Norv.

Jeff and I have known each other since our kids were in first grade. If they weren´t at my house they´d be at his house. We spent many weekends together at the ball field, at a restaurant, at a park, at his parents´ house...I considered Jeff a great friend and I´m so thankful for the great times that we were able to share. He will surely be missed.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

I knew Jeff through the South Elgin Little league as we both volunteered there 10-15 years ago. So sorry to hear of his passing - Jeff was the kind of guy you could call and ask for help on just about anything and he'd help you with a smile on his face. Condolences from the Sinatra family to his family.

Rita and Norv, I carry you in my heart and hug you constantly during this very difficult time...

I´m so terribly sorry. Jeffrey had such a warm light and a beautiful soul. He was kind and caring. Always willing to lend a hand to friend and stranger alike. The world was a much better place with him in it. He will be deeply missed.
