Stubblefield Family, I am extremely saddened to hear about the loss of Jeff. I was in Jeff's class at Southwest High School and remember him as an avid sports buff, both as a participant in school and sports enthusiast. The SHS Class of 1978 shares in your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time.

I am writing as the whole Wangel family. Mr. Stubblefield was my baseball coach when I was younger, such a great coach. He loved doing it and was very good at it. Mr. Stubblefield will certainly be missed by the Wangel family and by several others. I send my condolences to Arleen, Bryan, and other family I never met. I'm so sorry for your loss, I/my family will do whatever we can to help you in any way.

Durin, Joy, Jill, and Arleen,
Morris and Kathryn called me the other day, and told me about your tragic loss of Jeff.
I am so sorry, words can't tell how completely devastated you must be.
I wish I could be there to give a hug.
I am bereft for you in this time.
I use to babysit Jeff,
and he was so cute, as well as your daughter, Jill. That was so much,
we never realize how hard life is.
I just wish I could help you out,
but my best positive thoughts and prayers are with you.
I don't know if you remember but Kipp and I lost a daugher Kelli.
all my love to you.

JEFF'S LEGACY - strong work ethic, family devotion and God fearing spirit.
Jeff loved his lawn mowing business and treasured his customers as they would attest that he treated their lawns like they were his own and was the most reliable, trustworthy and fair person they had ever known. For years, he contemplated going up on his prices as most lawncare businesses were doing. He personally chose not to because he felt the compassion to keep his dear customers who were his friends.
He was a devoted husband, loving father and was very active in youth sports with our sons at Blue Raider and LMRA organizations. Jeff always loved to make us laugh and had to be the center of attention which we adored that trait. He was a modest and simple man with the biggest heart for our family. Cherished his family roots in Hope, Arkansas where we would go to family reunions. This was also where he took trips as a child to be with numerous aunts, uncles and cousins on the farm. He wanted so much to always have that special place to go back to.
However, his highest regard was to the Lord who he loved with true commitment and would always preach "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord," so there is no doubt where Jeff is today. He was never shy about witnessing his beliefs.
We greatly miss him and will forever hold him in our hearts. Please keep your wonderful thoughts coming as they are so very welcome.
Sincerely,
Mary Ward

Jeff was mowing our lawn the very day I found our first house. I knew my husband would fall short on keeping up such a large lawn so I asked Jeff if I bought this house would he continue to take care of the yard. With a twinkle in his eye he agreed and I was so excited about our new home that came with a friendly yard man.
Over the years Jeff became part of our home and family. I can’t tell you how many times I thought we had the most beautiful yard in the neighborhood. And not just a well maintained yard, but cared for – Jeff cared about us and his work.
Some days we would get to visit. It was during our visits that Jeff revealed how proud he was of his sons and how lucky he was in general. To Jeff, life was good and worth the ride. We will miss him very, very much.
Arleen, you and Jeff will stay in our thoughts and prayers.
Here’s to a good man who brought us, and I’m sure many others, a lot of joy.

We were so sorry to read about Jeff's passing. We know that the days ahead will be hard and we will be praying for you. Jeff took care of our lawn for a number of years and although we didn't know your family personally, he talked often of his family with pride. Jeff was always dependable and friendly and he will certainly be missed.

Dear Joy, Duron, and Jill,
What beautiful memories we have of our years as your neighbors. One of the memories is of that day when I baby sat Jeff while Joy was at the hospital delivering Jill. Since you were in the hospital Jeff seemed to be very concerned that his Mommy might be going to die. I did my best to assure him that Mommy would be fine and home soon. We would have never imagined that the day would come when Jeff would leave his Mommy and go to be with Jesus while his Mommy was still here on earth. There is no way to explain such events and certainly no way to prepare for them. We do believe that the wonderful memories of Jeff’s life and accomplishments and the love of his wife and children for all of you will provide much comfort for you in the long days and weeks ahead. While not understanding why these events occur nevertheless, we can go on living by believing that one day we will know the answer and find some measure of comfort in that knowledge. Dana and Paula join us in sending our love and prayers to your family and thanking you for being such wonderful friends and neighbors for so many years. You have enriched our lives. With much love and prayers, Kathryn and Morris

Jeff was always a wonderful mentor to my son and a friend to our family. He loved his family and was an very active father to his boys especially with the sports his boys were involved with. He will be truly missed. I can't think of Blue Raider baseball and not think of the Stubblefield family, especially Jeff cheering for his sons! My sincere sorrow for this loss goes out to Arleen; Jeffery and Brian. Jeff touched our lives and for that we are forever changed. May God be with you during these difficult times and may all the memories of your loving husband and father be with you forever.

To Jeff's Family, Arleen-Jeffrey-Bryan.... to the parents,relatives,friends,and his "loyalist", Charlie, I wish to extend my condolences. Words of sorrow may sometimes be inaudible and difficult to express. It has been said that the grief that does not speak "whispers".
Jeff possesed the traits which all admire and respect. He was attentive to detail, trustworthy, and reliable. Jeff conducted his job with order and structure. He was also a very polite, caring individual. I had utmost confidence in his judgement and abilities to handle any project.
Jeff's deeds did not go unnoticed.
And it shall be... that he will now serve on those Great Landscapes of our Lord..... seated in Heaven.
God aid and comfort Jeff's Family.
