I can't count the number of times I got in trouble for laughing in class at some of Jeff's antics. It was truly a pleasure being in the class of 81 with Jeff Holland. My deepest condolences to the family. May you find comfort in God as you go through this time.

My husband and I were behind Jeffrey when he lost control of his truck. We stopped I called 911. My husband along with others wanted to help. Nothing could be done untill the first responders arrived. I prayed for Jeffrey the entire time the responders allowed us to stay. My heartfelt sympathy and prayers to his family and friends.

Ron and Amy, I was so sorry to hear of Jeff's passing. I did not know Jeff personally but I have so many memories of knowing you in school and your Dad at Hollands Gro. Store. I know how it feels to lose a brother as I lost my only brother, Ricky Medley, several years ago. Please know that I will be thinking of and praying for your family in the coming days.
