James W. "Jeff" Jeffers

RIP Jeff Jeffers. You will be missed.

Thank you so much for your coverage of NotreDame Sports. I did not know you passed until today. Thank God that your fellow colleagues did mention your passing. I am very sadden as I know many more NotreDame Fans will be. Bless your family I know the journey that they are following The reporting of Notre Dame Sports will never be the same. God bless you. Mary B.

What an incredible career! Jeff told the stories of hundreds of athletes, coaches, and just average "Jeffs". To many, that on-air experience will always be one of the highlights of their lives. Jeff will be remembered by every single one of them.

So sorry to hear of Jeffs passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to Leslie and the kids. I worked with Jeff for 15 years at WNDU after growing up watching him on TV. I went to quite a few Bowl games with Jeff covering Notre Dame football. It was easy to make Jeff laugh at work so much so that we could pretty loud in the back preparing for the shows. Of course Jeff loved Notre Dame and his work but he was most proud of his family. Leslie and his kids made Jeff a better version of himself and that's what I will remember most. May God Bless My friend Jeff Jeffers.

Jeff's love for his family, Notre Dame and life was evident everyday in the WNDU newsroom. He quickly became a friend and a tremendous co-worker. His great sense of humor and knowledge of sports will never be replaced. To his family we can't begin to feel the depth of your loss...You were always first in Jeff's thoughts...

My sincere condolences to Jeff's family and WNDU faily as a former employee of the station
from 1969 to 2002 working as a transitter engineer, our paths only crossed once in my memory but I always enjoyed his work. Prayers for the family & Jeff may you RIP.

Reilly and family. We are so sorry for your loss. You are all in our prayers. John and Rosanne Mumford.

Jeff was the most avid Notre Dame fan on the planet. His insight into the University is unsurpassed. A great broadcaster in his own right. My condolence to the family and his family at W N D U.

This news makes me so sad! My prayers to the whole Jeffers family! Peace and hugs! Tere Sinka St.Matthew School

May Jeff rest in the peace of Christ. I remember the many times that I played "Holy God, We Praise Thy Name" on the organ, for the closing hymn, at St. Anthony's Church...Jeff loved this hymn and would wait for me to come downstairs from the choir loft to give me the two thumbs up sign! Prayers for Jeff and the family.
