What a fun, love-filled life he was given and how beautiful that you and Izzy were able to join in it - no words can express your loss but I am convinced you can find peace in knowing you lived several lifetimes together

May God's promise found in John 6:40, of the hope to see our loved ones again, comfort your heart and give you peace, strength, and hope in the days ahead.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. Even though I never had the pleasure of meeting Jeff, Jen talked about him with such love you just knew he was a wonderful man. Jen, Izzy and all his family may time heal the depth of your loss and help you all to keep his legacy alive in each of you.

Jeff was truly a wonderful soul. I met Jeff in Phoenix for the first time 9 years ago. We traveled the US and worked together and became close friends. His love of music and enjoying life was almost addictive. He wanted to laugh and enjoy almost every situation. He taught me to not be so quite negative about life. He is and will be missed but definitely not forgotten.

Verse 1: Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!

Verse 2: O Christ! Whose voice the waters heardAnd hushed their raging at Thy word,Who walked'st on the foaming deep,And calm amidst its rage didst sleep;Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,For those in peril on the sea!
Verse 3: Most Holy Spirit! Who didst broodUpon the chaos dark and rude,And bid its angry tumult cease,And give, for wild confusion, peace;Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,For those in peril on the sea!
Verse 4: O Trinity of love and power!Our brethren shield in danger's hour; From rock and tempest, fire and foe, Protect them wheresoe'er they go;Thus evermore shall rise to TheeGlad hymns of praise from land and sea.

Jeff you brought love, peace & happiness in whatever and wherever you were in your life. Your family loved you so much, for you were such a special man who put other's happiness before your own. What a special guy you were as a child, making others laugh and taking care of your sisters. I know the angels were there to greet you and praise you for all the happiness you brought to others. Your Dad and grandparents were there to meet their special grandson. Aunts & uncles, ancestors who have passed on were in the crowd, but we will always miss you! You just finished to early. And we will to meet there dearest nephew.
