I think about you so often and cant believe its gonna be 2 years... I was thinking the other day about the trip I made to the river and spent the night with you in your trailer. You allowed me to ride on the dirt bike that was way to tall for me and cooked steak for me. Consoling me over a troubled relationship and making me laugh telling crazy stories! We sure have alot of great memories! We sure do miss you!!!

Much Love! Your Favorite Cousin~ Sherry

I was saddened to hear of Jeff's passing. He became like a big brother to me during our years at Miller's. I loved him, he drove me crazy and saved my butt a few times...just like a family member does. He forgot more info in this industry then I will ever know.
Jeff, I hope your pain is gone and I am so glad to have known you. Men like you are rare. You touched many lives in such a positive and constructive way.
Rest in peace, my friend.

Jeff was a good friend of my dad's. Growing up I always thought of him as a big teddy bear. He was a truly kind and caring person. After my dad passed in 04, Jeff would call and stop by to check on us and help my mom with things. When I was in the school play 2 years later, he made my costume. I was Iago, the parrot in Aladdin and everyone raved about how awesome my costume was. Our family was blessed to know him. Sending all my love, thoughts, and prayers to his family. ❤

Was friends with Jeff growing up but I moved away to Colorado in 1991. He helped my dad out a few years ago with a wheel chair but I never made contact with Jeff. He left us too soon. My condolences to Jeff's family.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Jeff's passing. You were a wonderful friend that I had the pleasure to grow up with. I remember many times drinking a beer in your parent's garage as you fixed my car. Also the countless times that you, Jody and Evelyn assisted my Mom during her illness. Ride free my friend!! Free from pain and suffering, with the wind and the sun to carry you. Sincerely, Barb Huth
