To the family and friends of Jeffrey Charbonneau:
You all had a part in raising one of the finest young men on the planet. It was truly an honor and a pleasure to meet you all and see where he hailed from. He did not deserve to be taken so early, but he truly lived every day like it would be his last, which is the only way to live.


RIP Charbs.

Dear Family of the delightful Jeff,
We will cherish the memory of his infectious smile and always envy his golden locks, but mostly we will hold him dear for his brotherly love of our son Brent. Know that Jeff's guitar will be strummed with care and his music will continue. Prayerfully
Scott and Sherry Qualls

Dear Charbonneaus,

To this day, I still cannot accept this tragic loss. I am feeling the deepest sorrow for all of you and wish that I could be with you all throughout this time. From only meeting Jeff a few times, I was looking forward to having him as part of our family, he was an amazing uncle to Adalie and hopeful brother-in-law. I cannot imagine what you are all going through but I'm glad you all have each other for support. You are an incredible, strong family that I cherish to have in my own life. Please be well and I am thinking of you all.

To Jeff's family and many friends,

As a retired teacher and former Manchester resident, I want to offer my most heartfelt sympathy to you all at this time of such profound loss. I didn't know your wonderful son/friend, but just reading about him and seeing his photo makes me realize he was a young man of considerable talent and great joy. What a tragedy that this life was cut short so young. Please know that the thoughts, prayers and sympathy of even strangers is surrounding you and lifting you up in your time of sorrow.

Sincerely,

December 1, 2010

Dear Dick and BJ,
My sons told me about your terrible loss and about what a wonderful guy Jeff was. I am deeply saddened for you and for all your family. It's been a long time since I've seen you, but I have fond memories of some of the laughs we had when you used to come for tax help in Peru. Best of luck to you, and I'll keep you in my prayers.

To the Charbonneau family,
Please accept my deepest condolences for the loss of such a great guy. I feel honored to have known Jeff when we played club soccer together. Throughout hard fought rivalry games in soccer between BBA and AMHS, Jeff was always someone I respected for his hard work and the fun he always had playing the game. Vermont and indeed the world is a lesser place in his absence. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
