Penny and Rick, I am so very sorry for your loss. You gave me great advice when you told me just to go home and hug my kids. Our kids mean the world to us. And I know that Jeff and Jon are your world also. I hope my dad gets to meet Jeff in heaven. I know that he would like his sense of humor, his love of life, and his sense of adventure. They will be able to sit down and share stories for a long time. Jeff will remind Dad a little bit of himself when he was a young boy. My thoughts and prayers are always with you. I'm here for both of you and so is Dave. You have done so much for us. It is our turn now. That's how it works with friendship. Dave and MJ Olson

Rick, Penny, and Jonathan,
We were so sorry to hear about your sudden devastating loss. Try to stay strong for that granddaughter and yourselves. I remember back to the days of Cub Scouts and Jeff always had something to say and would at times challenge what we had to say. He was never at a loss for words or ideas. A great boy who grew into an awesome man. You are in our prayers. May God carry you thru this difficult time. Do NOT be afraid to ask if there is ANYTHING we can do. Words cannot ease your pain but I hope your memories will help bring you smiles and laughter over time.

Penny & Fammily it just seems like yesterday that Jeff rode my bus to school. He grew up to be a great guy and after all these years when I would run into him he would say hey do you remember me. He would tell me about what he was doing in life and how grandma Donna was doing and about his accomplishments. I will miss seeing him around but will have those good memories. My prayers go out to your family and Grandma Donna for your loss, Jeff is going to be missed.

Rick, Penny and Jonathon,
We are so sorry for your loss! Jeff was a good kid! Always willing to help whoever needed help. He had a BIG heart! He never met a stranger and could talk with anyone as if he'd known them his whole life. We could razz him and he would just smile and go with it! We are thankful for having shared in his life a short time. We will treasure the memories. May you find peace in the memories of time given you with your son and brother! Praying for strength and peace that only comes from God at times like this! If there is anything we can do please don't hesitate to let us know!

Jeff was my daughters dad and nevaeh loved her daddy dearly,always talking about when daddy was coming or anything that they did together or that daddy.My words cant say enough for his family and our poor daughter that is now without her daddy's presence. But I do know that he is watching over her and to me i know that is a comfort,even though Nevaeh doesnt fully understand at this point that shes not going to be seeing daddy.
