I am so sorry to hear about Jeff. It has been years since I have seen him but we used to run around together a lot and he was always so much fun and had a smile all the time. I will be thinking of all you and praying that God will comfort you during this time.

We just recently meet Jeffrey a few months ago when he came to our shop at Gibbs Service Center to get work done. He was a nice guy. I know Courtney but didn't know her father or just didn't realize it. I am praying for everyone in his family. God Bless you all

August 5, 2014

L.R. and Donna are good parents with good sons. They gave them everything they needed and half of what they wanted. You never failed your children nor did your sons fail you. Not too many families can make that claim.

I was heartbroken to learn of Jeffrey's death. Will remember funny things as kids; like throwing toys, shoes, socks, out of car window and you telling them you were not stopping the car.

Keep your faith in God, and He will help you through this difficult time. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

As ever, Barbara Hickman

I am so sorry for the loss of Jeff. He was so energetic, fun loving and wide open. May knowing he was blood bought, saved by grace and pre-destined for Heaven ease the pain. May these thoughts along with all the prayers being uttered for the Beeler family give you peace, comfort and contentment today and in the future. Jeffrey Lynn will surely be missed by all who knew him. Your family is so special to the Hamilton family.

I'm so sorry to hear about Jeff. I hadn't seen him since my days at Gibbs. I remember him as the always smiling kid. He was a freshman when I graduated. I'm so sorry for your loss. Will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Very sad to hear of Jeff's sudden passing. He was a few years ahead of me at GHS but one of those people you'll always remember. Whenever it seemed like a party coming down the hall, you might not see him right away but if you waited a few seconds it would arrive and you'd see him right in the middle of it. He left many of us with fun memories of high school. I pray for the comfort of the Beeler family and for the rest of us that will also miss him.

I never had a brother(s). Until I moved to Gibbs my junior year. That's when I met Greg and Jeff and learned that we were 2nd or 3rd cousins. But, Greg and Jeff made me feel more like a brother and LR and Donna made me feel like a son. My best high school memories were made with your family. I will miss Jeff, but I will never forget him.

Donna,Greg,Brain and family. I have a heavy heart for your loss. I was just talking to my wife a few days back about racing the Jeeps in the fields behind your house. Many people will miss Jeff and his jolly character. I wish I could have talked to him again before he left. We talked a few times about 5 years ago. He always greeted with a smile. I remember our good times as running backs at Gibbs. May God give you and your family strength and support through this time of sorrow. Praying for you guys. ~ Chuck Elbell
