I have known the Ramsey family for a number of years and I can testify that they are all very solid Christians who love the Lord. I met Jeff at Grace Chapel and I attend the Men's breakfasts at Classic 57 restaurant led by Jeff's father Dave. Jeff and I were developing a close friendship right before his tragic death and I feel we were just like brothers. Of course we are brothers in Christ. Jeff and I would have lunch at Holland's Restaurant right after Sunday church and then I would drive him home as his car was in the shop at the time. I will always cherish our times together and I can hardly wait to see him again in heaven.

So sad to hear that we all lost such a great friend in Jeff. We spent time at Grace College together and then I looked forward to every time I could meet with Jeff to talk about investing. He always made us feel important to him as a friend and client. Thankful to know that God used him and that Jeff lived his entire life to serve others and model Christ in his short time here on earth!
He will be missed, but fondly remembered!

Ramsey Family,
Our condolences in the lose of your family. Jeff was such a great person. He was always around when we had a question on our finances. There was many times Jeff and I would go fishing on my father's boat on Erie or my Jon Boat on Gilford.
He will be missed very much. Once again so sorry to hear of you lose.

Please know that Lynnette and I send our encouragement and prayerful support at this very difficult time. Please feel our hug that is full of energy to fill you as you begin life without Jeff's physical presence. We will always be warmed by his caring personality, sincere interest shown in every conversation that he had, and his overall relationship-building energy. These were his gifts that he shared with so many. We were blessed by him and those gifts each time we had the chance to visit with him.

We have so many great memories of Jeff and his entire family from our 20+ years together as church family there at Minerva (as their pastor/wife). We especially remember the great impact he had on our son as a "big brother" who was willing to take time with our son who was so much younger than he was. We grieve as we think of all the pain Jeff went through in his life and now as we think of all the pain his family are going through. But we rest in the confidence that Jeff is with the Lord, and his pain is over. And someday we can all be with the Lord as well. For now we grieve, but not like those who do not have this hope in the Lord.

I am beyond sadden to hear of Jeff's passing. I used to work with him at Perry Local. He was passionate about the students he helped. Moving on as a financial advisor, he was just as passionate about his customers. A special individual that touched so many lives. Keeping all of you in prayer, especially this time of year.

To the Ramsey family, I am so sorry for your loss. Jeff & I went to elementary school together. He was a great guy. I remember in the fifth grade our teacher held a chess tournament. Jeff won for the boys. I won for the girls. Mr, Hudson, our teacher thought it would be fun to have a winner take all game between us. I won & would never let him forget it. Whenever I hear the word "chess" I think of Jeff. He will always have that little piece of my heart with this memory. God bless you all and you are in my prayers. Sincerely, Heidi Guldy Kellam
