Jeffrey I miss you so much. I have not found another best friend since you departed. And have not had another you, where my neighbor, best friend and a father figure to me. I was just a young adult looking for unconditional love when I moved to Columbus and you showed me that. You are greatly missed my friend... I will never forget us visiting your sister and Marks house together. We had a blast. I was blessed to meet another. Jeffrey I pray for your family often... Until we meet again my friend. You will forever be missed.

I just heard the news of Jeff's death. I was a classmate of his at Northland High School. I saw him at our 30th Reunion, but missed the last two reunions when this news circulated. Jeff was a great guy and I knew his two sisters through my sister. I saw Jeff a lot and we always got along very well. He was always nice to everyone and always had a smile on his face. Jeff could always make you feel good and being around him, you always knew you had a good friend. I will miss you very much. I hope you can now rest in peace.

Jeff was a classmate, teammate and a friend of mine from Northland H.S. Class of 1977. My family moved away from Columbus in 1978 so I only saw Jeff at HS reunions. He was always upbeat and happy. We were just at our 30th reunion (7.07). I'm at such a loss for words. All I can say is he will be missed and he will be remembered. Our prayers are with you and your family. Jeff, I loved you brother. With Deepest Remorse, Jim Mazza

Jeff was always a fun guy to be around! We met at Ohio Wesleyan in Delaware in 1977. We liked to refer to him as "The Amazing Yee" and he will be missed by all who knew him.
My deepest sympathy to all his family whom I know will miss Jeff very much.

Aunt Connie and family,
My deepest sympanthy for the loss of Jeff. My fondest memory of Jeff was in Nebraska when you and Uncle King opened up your home to my 3 sisters and I when our mother passed. I remember when Jeff and I used to leg wrestle all the time. It was so much fun. We were pretty good at it. Cherish the memories.
Love Elaine

My heart and prayers go out to all of you in this most of trying time. Jeff made such a difference in my life. He was a friend to me as I started High School while he was an upper classman and that made such a difference. I will forever remember his friendship and kindness.

To Jeff Yee's Family--
Sending my heartfelt condolences to all of you. Jeff was a well-loved member of the Northland High School Class of 1977 and he will be remembered and missed by the many alumni who came of age with him in the 70s. The news has spread amongst us since yesterday and we all pause to reflect on our friend and times we shared. This past summer I had the pleasure of seeing Jeff again as well as Jeff Powell and Tracy at the 30 Year Class of 77 Reunion -- that one fine evening--past and present came together--many smiles that night--and it was a lovely time that will remain a treasured memory. Ever on, Jeff.

My husband Todd and I are so saddened to see Jeff gone from all of our lives so suddenly. He was not only family to my husband Todd and I ,but also a good friend. Some of my favorite memories of Jeff are when I was younger and he used to tote us (his younger cousins) around the city with him. He always had a patient spirit with everyone and truely cared about his friends and family. The last time Jeff and I spoke we laughed about him tearing the banister apart at his parents house when I got my head stuck between the railings. He was a wonderful cousin and friend and Todd and I will miss him dearly. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. Jeff we will miss you!!!!

Like so many of Jeff's friends and family I remember a man who cared deeply for his family and friends. As a young man he was the cousin with endless energy and patience for a little boy that loved throwing the ball and running around.
To Aunt Connie, Grandma, Kelly,Tracy, Alyssa and the rest of the family my sincere condolences on such a terrible loss. I wish I could be there with you to celebrate Jeff's life.

This was a shock. I saw Jeff at our 30 yr. class reunion last year. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. God bless.

Aunt Connie,
It seems cruel and unnatural to be preceded in death by a child of ours. I hope that pleasant memories will comfort you and yours through your journey from grief to acceptance.

I am sorry to say that I have not seen Jeff for awhile, but always remember him as a really good friend. He was such an imposing figure, but more like a big teddy bear to his friends. Yee and I lived on the same floor freshman year at OWU and he, Jim, Mike, Bish, Steve, Snide and myself had some great times. (yeah hall frisbee)
I will miss Jeff and my thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

Jeff was a wonderful person with a loving spirit. We will miss him dearly. My favorite memories of him were taking my brother, sister and me to the swimming pool in the summer when we were kids. He saved us each once or twice by fishing us out of the water when we ventured too far in the deep end! He was fun-loving and kind. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Alyssa, Aunt Connie, Grandma, Tracy, Keli and all who knew and loved Jeff.

Alyssa, Although I have never had an opportunity to meet you, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
