Dear Clark Family,
Thinking of you with my deepest sympathies. My heart goes out to you. Losing Jeff is so extremely sad. Jeff was such an accomplished human being. Not only academically and professionally, but more importantly as a person. I was lucky enough to consider him a good friend. He was always so thoughtful and caring, had such a great sense of humor, and was always ready to have fun. An incredible person and a joy to be around. Simply put, Jeff was the best. I´ll cherish the memories he and I shared forever. Although he was taken from us far too soon, he truly made the world a better place.

Jeff was our trusted partner to navigate the legal space as a startup and one of the most affectionate, kind and genuinely good people I have met. His legacy is forever imprinted on our company and we will miss him greatly.

Jeff's office was next to mine at a law firm a few years ago, and I was fortunate to have him as my office neighbor! I was new to Boston, and he was such a friendly and hilarious presence for me. He always spoke so fondly of Jen and Sooan. I remember him being excited for a Halloween celebration in the office in 2017, where I got to see Jeff's love for his family in person. And now I think about the heartbreak you're enduring this Halloween season. I'm so sorry. Thinking of you in the wake of this sudden loss.

I did not have the pleasure of knowing Jeff but knew off Jeff through Jenn. I can't even begin to imagine how difficult it must be to make peace with the loss of your beloved husband Jenn. I know how much you loved him and how you encouraged each other to move forward and supported each other's dreams. I have you, Sooan and the Clark family in my prayers, may the love of friends and family carry you through your grief and find the strength you need to move forward as he will always be in your heart and that of his loved ones.

My heart has been sunk in sorrow all week. Jeff was one of my best buddies while I was in law school. Being of Korean descent, being roughly the same age and Jeff being such an approachable person, we quickly became friends, and that friendship lasts to this day. As we kept in touch throughout the years, Jeff would always check in and see how I was doing, would oftentimes go out of his way to offer help and would give me encouragement whenever he sensed that I needed one. I was very much looking forward to catching up with him, but it saddens me that I will never get to hear his friendly voice, or see his broad smile again. As I went through the messages that Jeff and I exchanged over the years, it reminded me just how much he cared about his friends, his family and others around him while juggling through his work commitments and staying responsible on all fronts, and without losing a good sense of humor in it all. Our friendship will continue with Jeff being in spirit, but I miss him very, very much. My heart and prayers go out to Jenn, Sooan and the Clark Family for this sudden and heartbreaking loss.

I send my deepest condolences to Jeff's family. Jeff and I worked together, and he was so much fun to work with! He always told things as they are, and looked out for people on the team. I saw Jeff earlier this month, and we were laughing at the great stories from our short time working together. Jeff will be truly missed.

Jeff was my classmate, my neighbor, and someone who I was lucky enough to call a friend. I met him the first week I moved to Boston in 08´, and for the next 9 years, I got to experience his kindness, humor and generosity. Jeff was quick to smile. He was even quicker to share and give to those around him, without ever asking for much more than good conversation and company.
If you had anything worth celebrating, big or small-a completed final exam, a birthday, a work-related milestone-Jeff would be there. He not only showed up for his friends, but also made sure they felt included. He was always thinking about those around him and checking in with them to make sure they were doing okay.
Thanks to Jeff´s encouragement and invitations, I explored many places on the East Coast that I wouldn´t have otherwise. He shared with me ski-cabin vacations, beach days on pebbly coastlines, day trips to historical fishing towns, and meals at seafood restaurants without a name. Equally memorable are the late nights into early mornings spent playing video games, and hangouts over hard-to-find craft beers that he somehow managed to hoard. During my time in Boston, he played a big part in making the city feel like home to me.
But I know I´m not the only one who feels this way because I saw him do this for so many of his peers. Jeff welcomed them into his house, often for a delicious meal or an absurdly intricate dessert. He was so generous with his time and energy to all those he crossed paths with.
Jeff was one of the absolute good ones, and I am heartbroken. To Jen, Sooan, and the Clark family, I am so sorry for this immense loss. I hear people say that grief is just love but with nowhere to go. I can´t help but feel that we´re all grieving deeply because there is so much love for Jeff, and because he gave us so much love. I will miss my friend greatly.

Dear Clark Family,
I am so sorry to hear this shocking news and I wanted to send my sincere condolences. Jeff was an incredible person who I not only worked with, but who was there for me through my career transition as a friend and supporter during my most difficult times. He was truly selfless in so many ways, and really made a difference in everything he did. He will truly be missed.
Sincerely,
Randi

Dear Jennifer,
Not sure what to say. My deepest condolences. Jeff was always inspiring and kind and amazing to his friends and family. When we couldn´t see each other for a while since we moved in 2014, he called us and said hello from time to time , even this year. I could feel that he cares about his friends a lot. I won´t forget the great Thanksgiving feast forever. In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love him and miss him always. Wish we could be in Watertown to see you and support you in any way. Hope you and Sooan are doing well.

Dear Clark Family and extended family -
I am truly sorry for your loss and cannot find the words to express all that Jeff meant to those around him. I read the memory postings and they speak of Jeff's qualities and character that will be so sorely missed. These are but a small measure of the genuine, helpful, and intelligent person he was. Many condolences. May you find peace and grace in each memory of this wonderful friend and colleague.

I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your husband. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this extremely difficult time.

My deepest condolences. Jeff was brilliant and accomplished in his field, and I truly enjoyed working with him. But more importantly, he was such an inspiring, kind, and positive human being. I remember sitting in a small, family owned diner just outside Boston chatting with Jeff about a potential collaboration--his enthusiasm lit up the entire diner. Another patron of the diner, on her way out, remarked that she couldn't hear the specifics of our conversation but guessed that he must be talking about the most interesting vacation in the world. I will miss your energy, Jeff!

My deepest, heartfelt condolences... Jeff was such an inspiring, positive person who uplifted everyone around him. He will be very much missed. Dear Jen and Sooan, we are so deeply sorry to hear of your loss, and will be praying for you... It's been a few years, but our families went apple picking together and our daughters had played together... Jen, if there's anything we can do to help, please let us know...

Thinking of Jeff's beloved family. He achieved so much in a far too short of a time and always as a great classmate, coworker, friend, and person. His smile, his great laugh, and his "are you kidding me" look (usually followed by that smile and laugh) are fond images and now more precious. Sneaking out for happy hour pre-games as associates. Hanging out late on Fridays as grown-up in-house lawyers. Breaking out for mid-week well day ski outings (always watching him barrel down ahead, carving mean lines). Buddy lunches. Those small things in life can be the big things. Grateful to have those memories, sad not to be able to make more, and so very sorry for the family's terrible loss. We'll always remember your wonderful, dear son, husband, father, brother, uncle, and son-in-law, our pal.

I'm so sad to learn about Jeff's passing. I was looking forward to catching up after our respective business trips this month. He was a good friend, always bringing this great positive energy to our group. He was generous with his time, mentoring so many law students and young attorneys. He was like a big brother to many. He made golf less scary. I know he loved his wife and daughter dearly - he often spoke fondly of them. I will miss him and his big friendly easy-going smile. Sending love to his many friends and family.

Dear Steve, Debbie and Alyssa. Such tragic news. My heart is broken for all of you. I´m now filled with so many memories of Heelan Ave and the "gang" of buddies who were so connected to each other every single day growing up together. May those and all the other memories you have created through the years comfort you and give you strength in the coming days.
Hugs...Ronda Gulko

Dear Jen, Sooan and Jeff's family and friends,
I was a friend of Jeff's from Flagship Pioneering. The last time I saw him, it was on his last day there and we were having the must have Stoughton vs. Randolph debate about which pizza was better - Town Spa vs. Lynwood. We ended up saying we needed to take a field trip with our gang to take a vote! I will always remember how much we laughed that day.
My heart goes out to Jeff's family and friends at this difficult time. I will forever keep memories of times with Jeff in my heart.
Fondly,
Amy Fetter
