Tim and Eleanor, I cannot believe that it´s been so long ago....Yet, it´s not. Thinking of you and Jeffrey, my precious Tyler, Kraig and Vaughn. Life is so fleeting that nonsense has no place. Big hugs to you all.

I met Jeff while in Highschool at a government summer camp. He was such a great guy and someone that I thought of for many years after that camp. I looked him up to see what he was up to and was so saddened to see this. I will recall my memories with him with fondness. Prayers for his family!

I was just thinking about Jeff the other day. He was so genuine and sincere. He had invited my kids and I to go watch fireworks with him at Coors Field for 4th of July in 2010. Unfortunately, we could not go but I've wished that we would've dropped whatever we were doing to be there. Sending my thoughts and prayers to Jeff's family.

I have thought about Jeff on and off so often over this past year. I'm still saddened by his passing. When a good soul is taken from us, understanding and peace are hard to find. I hope the Navarro family has found some peace and I hope they know that they raised a beautiful, kind hearted son who was nice to everyone he met.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Navarro,
One year. Time passes so quickly but grief does not. I still have the sympathy card I was going to send you when Jeff died. I have been orchestrating a letter to you that has yet to come to fruition. I've wanted to offer some "veteran" advice since I am about two years ahead in my grief journey, but I have no words of wisdom. This walk is unlike any pain we could ever imagine and it constantly changes. Losing a child is every parents biggest fear, and my heart is broken just like yours. Our children are not supposed to die before we do but sometimes they do, and nothing is ever the same.
I hope you are taking care of yourselves and I hope you have continued to engage in the things that brought you joy before your beloved son's death. Keep your eyes on Jesus; When you are in despair, say his name and let him comfort your aching soul; When your faith falters, say his name and know he is there, he loves you and he does care....Keep your eyes on Jesus, with him there is hope for healing.
I have kept you in my thoughts and my prayers and will continue to do so. If ever you want to talk, call me 719-459-0610. I am a good listener and I know this nightmare all too well....Much love to you.

Jeff was truly a great guy! I used to work with Jeff years ago at Fiserv in Denver CO and still remember him as being very caring, respectful and polite and just truly one of the "good guys"! My prayers are with his family.

What a great guy Jeffrey was. I worked with him at Janus a decade ago as well as Fiserv five years ago. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss and I will always remember Jeff for the kind heart and the great sense of humor he had. I will miss talking Broncos, Buffs, Rockies, Avalanche and Nuggets with him.

To the Navarro family. How truly devestating the news that I heard today. I used to work with Jeff at Correctional Connections. We became very very very close friends during the time he trained me for his position at GYSC. He was so kind, respectful and just a caring person. He always had my best interest at heart and once our friendship developed, whomever was at work first (usually Jeff), could not wait for the other to arrive. I am so sad right now. I miss you Jeff. Your family is in my prayers.

To the Navarro Family,
I was Jeff's Manager at TIAA-CREF and only today learned of his passing. I was laid off from there in 2009 and had lost contact with him. My condolences go out to your family. I am saddened to hear this information. I enjoyed having Jeff on my team. He had a kind heart. Jeff went out of his way to help me with my car and was kind enough to let me hang out with his family while the work was being done. He went out of his way to help and that is how I will remember Jeff. My prayers are with you.
Sincerely,
Catherine Selinsky
(former TIAA-CREF Manager)

To the Navarro Family, I learned of Jeff's passing last week and was deeply sadened by this. Jeff and I became quick friends at Tiaa Cref. I was a new employee in the cube next to him. Jeff had a kind heart and always helped anyone he could. I remember many times he would overhear a client conversation I was having at Tiaa and he would offer to help me handle the call. He always listened to Klove in his cube and it was great to hear the music as I always listen to it in my car. He loved his family and would talk about them often at work. I remember he was a huge shoulder to lean on when my dad passed away. I will miss him alot but also know that he is in a place of peace with the lord. Jeff had a deep faith and loved his church and all the events and we would share stories. I was really impressed with the transformation of his home on several visits. He and his dad worked well together.
My blessings to the Navarro family. Jeff left a light of hope in each person he touched! Greg Dorr

Dear Navarro Family,
Mere words are not adequate enough to express the soul wrenching sadness that I have continued to feel for you since learning of your beloved Jeff's death. Once Jeff entered onto the presence of our Lord, and the initial greetings from friends and relatives that preceded him were said, I have no doubt that my son, Tyler, was also there to welcome him home. Please believe that I send many prayers, thoughts and much love your way. *Valerie Schmidt (Kraig's other sister)

Dear Eleanor, Tim, and the entire Navarro Family my prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.
Every year around this time I expected the emails or texts from my buddy Jeff giving me grief for being a Raiders fan and trying to get me to convert. LOL. I will miss this annual exchange... you will definitely be missed my friend.
Don't think of him as gone away-
his journey's just begun,
life holds so many facets-
this earth is only one. . .
Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.
Think how he must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched. . .
for nothing loved is ever lost-
and he was loved so much.
