Dearest Peggy, Bob, Brian and family. Today I was doing some online searching for names of dear friends from past years and came across Jeff's obituary. Such a shock and very sad news. I couldn't believe it. We remember him as the cutest little guy who was always full of energy! He resembled his dad in looks even as a young boy. We have many fond memories of your entire family. God Bless.
With much love, Lila and Larry

Robert and Peggy,
Sending you prayers and positive thoughts on this very difficult day.
I have a picture saved in my phone,
one of the most favorite and important people in my life.
Jeff was such a joy to be around.
Such an amazing soul.
He brought happiness and laughter into everyone’s life that he knew.
I wanted you to know that I think of him
often. And I am sending prayers and positive thoughts to you and your family

Sending prayers and condolences from South Louisiana. Jeff was the biggest Machead I've ever met. He inspired me to get certified with Apple and make a career out of it! If one picture could sum it up, this would be it -- and just one of the many fond memories of time I spent with him.

Jeff was quick with a smile, witty and well-loved. Seems he was loved far and wide by the posts from far-flung places.
To his family- sorry for your loss. We will feel it, too.

Jeff was a good friend, a generous man, and a great traveling companion. We shared rooms together on many trips, and had a lot of fun together. He is responsible for so many happy memories that I'll always treasure. Rest in peace dear friend.

Smart, funny, and oh so energetic. We called him Jumpy! The sweetest guy unless a restaurant put peppers anywhere near his food. He'd go crazy. LOL. Lots of friends, but Biscuit was his best friend. Rest in peace, Jeff. Condolences to the family.

I cannot thank you enough for sharing your memories (and pictures) of Jeff. We (Jeff's family) are glad to hear from others who also loved him (and those who agreed that he truly was a horrible and scary driver).
Thank you for bringing some joy to us at a time when we are struggling mightily with our sorrow.

My sincerest condolences to Jeff's family. I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear this news today. I've not met a kinder, more caring person than Jeff Rabe. He was always so vibrant and full of energy. So full of energy in fact, some of us called him Thumper because he was always hopping around from friend to friend making sure everybody was having a good time. I will miss that mischievous smile of his. Rest in peace my friend. You brought joy to all who were fortunate enough to know you!

Oh Jeffrey! Your bright smile will be missed. The energy you brought to the party was unsurpassed. When we met on a cruise over a decade ago I'll never forget the handshake- thanks JH for the introduction! You were the best tech support a boy could ask for. Who else was going to help me work through my issues at 2am?! I'm sure you're on a box somewhere dancing as we speak. RIP my sweet friend! Xxox ~ Christopher

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Jeff was a wonderful friend. Very thoughtful and loving. I've missed him (and Biscuit) terribly since he moved home. I have many wonderful memories of your beautiful son / brother / uncle and I will cherish them always. One of my favorite things to rib him about was his terrible driving. He was THE WORST driver. Peace Jeff. And watch over all of us that you cared for buddy. We will miss you.
