Jeff will be greatly missed by his Winthrop College friends! He was an awesome friend and great dancer. He always had a smile on his face and a hug to give you. I sure will miss him a lot, but I know he is out of his pain.

I worked with Jeff at Dillard’s, always such a good friend to me, he was my roommate in Charlotte for a brief while before he moved to Atlanta, an Angel among people, such a great friend! My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.
