I was so sad to hear the news of Jeff's passing. I remember him not only as a good friend but also as a good drummer. I remember playing music with him in his parents garage back in the 70's. There was a song we played by Blind Faith called "Do What You Like" that always stuck in my head when I thought of Jeff. I think that is what Jeff did in life and he achieved great well deserved success as a result. He will be missed. RIP my friend....

I knew Jeff at Lincoln High School and (though he may not admit it), we played for a short while in a music group, for weddings, anniversaries. Since learning of Jeff's passing, I've been enjoying some of the important documentaries that Jeff helped executive produce through Candescent Films; and have decided to support stocktonscholars.org, which he established, in his memory. Way to go, Jeff - a life well lived! My prayers and condolences to Jeff's family.

I am so sorry to hear of Jeff's Death. What wonderful memories I have of him! We went to elementary through high school together and grew up in the same neighborhood. What a wonderful person! Always kind and, of course, always the smartest one in the class After working and having my own family, I brought my son to Colonial Heights Pool for the summer as we all did! He had a great time
there on the swim team and life guarding as Jeff's sister Lynn did. (Did both sister's life guard??). I remember Jeff matching the amount of money we raised for the pool. What a wonderful way to teach and support the kids. I will always remember him as a special person. ☺

My deepest condolences to the Tarrant family.
I met Jeff when I was 13 or 14, we could never remember the exact year. He was the lifeguard at my neighborhood swimming pool. We remained friends all these years ~ meeting each others families and getting together when time & schedules would allow. He hasn't lived in CA for many years but his hometown still held a special place in his heart. I will miss him very much. The world lost a very special soul. Love you Jeff.
