Oh boy...I moved away a long time ago and was thinking of Jeff today. We had some ridiculous antics growing up and the times we spent with Greg Szitowski and others at the acreage west of Edmonton. Whether it was building "forts" in the woods or "ditch-busting" on a Ski-doo. Jeff lived life large and was always up for an adventure. Thanks for the memories Jeff. Cheers, Brad Williamson

Hello Jeff,
Just thinking of you and my Mom today - had a tear but then thought that the 2 of you are probably sitting at a table having a good old chin wag !
Take Care of your family

In Loving Memory of Jeff SARGENT May 30, 1964 - January 24, 2009
We thought of you with
love today,
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you
yesterday,
And days before that
too.
We think of you in
silence,
And often speak your
name.
All we have are
precious memories,
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake,
With which we will never part.
We will cherish all our love for you,
Deep within our hearts.
Sadly missed, forever loved: The Sargent family Dad, Mom, Rhonda, Debbie, Randy, Lois

Jeff,
One thing we'll always cherish,
No matter what life sends,
A memory of the happiness
Just being friends.
It's hard to believe it's already been one year, that we shared your memorable life and we know that you are watching and we feel peace that you are at rest.
Love and thoughts to Nellie, Terry, Debbie, Randy, Rhonda and Lois from
George, Shannon, Jessica, Matthew & Tyler XOXO

Dearest Jeff
Happy Birthday! Your first celebrated in Heaven.
This poem is to you and for your family - your Mom and Dad, Rhonda, Debbie & Randy.
"The things we feel so deeply
Are the hardest things to say
But we your family loved you
In a very special way.
They say that memories are golden
Well that may be true
But, we never wanted memories
We only wanted you.
If tears could build a stairway
And heartaches make a lane
We'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you home again.
Our family chain is broken
And nothing seems the same
But as God calls us one by one
The chain will link again."
You will be forever in our hearts,
The Entire Hewko family

Happy Birthday my dear brother. Randy and I miss you so very much. Today was especially hard because you were not here to share your birthday with the family. We missed your smiling face and your infectious laugh and your big, warm hugs. You would have had a good laugh today, because we bought Rhonda a vacuum cleaner for her birthday! Can you think of a more perfect gift?!!
I still cry a river of tears every day because I miss you so very, very much. Life isn't the same anymore without you here. I do try to find solice knowing that you are at peace now and in Gods hands. I know that you are watching down over us and that we will all be together again one day.
Love always and forever,

HI Sweet Angel,
Happy Birthday - the first one you celebrate with God in Heaven. I love you much and miss your big smile at meetings, and honor your many excellent attempts to live differently here on earth. I asked Rhonda to say hi to you from me, as she visits your resting place today.
May God bless and keep you, until we all meet again which may change Heaven just slightly!! Love you,

I miss you so very much. Today is so strange without you here to celebrate our 45th birthdays together. I will celebrate you forever and I know you are all around the family and Lois today. I love you so very much my buddy and there's not a day that goes by, that I don't feel you all around me. I love you with all of my heart and soul and I embrace your presence with so much serenity and peace. I know you walk with me everyday. Today I will celebrate you and your life.
From the depths of my heart,
Happy Birthday my eternal friend and brother..."Until we meet again"

Jeff was always thought of as a uncle in the Hewko family.
For me he was a role model.
When you asked him to play with you he would never ever say no.
Two of my fondist memories is at our camping trip jeff would call it a fire and we would call it a bond fire. He was the best camp fire builder.
The other good memories was at a farm were my dad, jeff and me got a kight so far up that u could no longer see it and if you knew jeff he would always want more or to go farther. I guess you could call him very adventurous. So we kept adding string on till Jeff could no longer hold it. He let it go and we saw our hard work float away but we were laughing so hard cause we could not believe how high it went.
Those are just a few memories.
And to Jeffs family and friends
Jeff is a once in a live time guy. He was loved by everyone he meets. Remeber to look at the good memories cause those are the ones that made Jeff Jeff
I am very sorry for your lose he affected so many lives including mine for sure

Dear Terry, Nellie, Rhonda, Debbie & Randy, It's so hard to believe it's already been a month since Jeff has left us all for his new home. It's been a tough few weeks, but Jeff has touched all of our lives in so many ways. It was evident at his funeral. He lived a free spirited life and was always on the go and beating to his own drum. He was a great friend and we loved him like a brother. Lord knows George and Jeff were truly the brothers each other never had and they could argue like it but could always laugh it off and not hold a grudge. He had so much life in him and was always fun to have around to tell jokes & stories. We had so much fun skiing, camping, boating, houseboating and spending good times at Jackfish Lake,Pigeon Lake and Sylvan Lake. Many fond memories with Jeff were also spent going to the Midnight Special dances, going for coffee and get togethers with the Gang, which also included The Sargent's family home. It's hard to believe that the years have gone by so quickly and it makes us all think about life in a different perspective. Life is truly a gift and we now know you lived your life, Jeff, to the fullest and accomplished a great deal more than any person could at 90 years old. Your life is living in all of us and thank you for the memories. We love you and miss you BUD!! Until we meet again....enjoy your new life in Heaven. Shannon, George, Jessica, Matthew and Tyler

I will always remember canoeing, quading and snowmobiling with Jeff. Jeff loved to make the water, mud and snow fly.
I can see Jeff jumping clouds on his ski-doo above us now. My sympathies go out to Jeff's family and those close to him. He will be sadly missed but fondly remembered.

We have wonderful memories of times with Jeff and the Sargent Family over our many years as friends and neighbours. Jeff will always be remembered by us with his lighhearted, adventurous and spirited nature. He will be remembered as an excellent drummer. We had many good times at dances where he played with his band. Sadly, we have just received this news about Jeff, as we were out of the country at the time of his passing.
All our love, Eddie, Marguerite, and Trevor Ament and Corinne Sperling

Jeff
I've known you since my 20th birthday. We shared so many years together sharing our lives in Spruce Grove, Peace River and finally Lacombe. I'll never forget that "I've found the one" look when we were house hunting in Lacombe. It seems fit that that is where you passed away.
You touched my heart and soul with your smile and sparkle in your eye. My mother always said"that man has eyes that you can trust". You made friends so very easily and kept them for life. You had a incredible love for children and a amazing way with them. You were their "Uncle Jeff" , their "Mr Fix it". There are 20+ years of memories. I could write a series of books. So many laughs, so many tears, so many things to tell the friends and family you left behind. I thank you for each and every memory.
Today, I find comfort in knowing that you are now Happy Joyous & Free.
I do not doubt that God heard your cries and carried you home.
I look forward to seeing you again in heaven.
You will ALWAYS have a place in my heart.
Please Jeff, watch over Tyler and Kaitlyn and be their guardian angel.

For the Sargent family, losing a family member so early in their lives is something that will never make sense and never be understood. Know that in time the pain subsides but the memories and love are the things that you will carry with you in your hearts forever. In speaking with Rhonda the other night it reminded me of people from our past that we cherished and of who helped shape the persons we have become. Having known Jeff for a period in my life I thank him for who he was and for adding that to my life.
My deepest sympathy and condolences for your family and with my best wishes in your times ahead knowing that a part of Jeff will always be with you.

Harry;
I don't know how to even begin; expressing my thoughts and feelings for a dear friend that goes back to Grade 4. We connected immediately; 2 guys who felt at home in the woods. We both enjoyed the wilderness. Many tried to tag us as "Mutt and Jeff", but Mutt never suited you (we both know you had to make the change); so we branded you Harry (Harold). Through-out Elementary (when you cut your fingure and were so weak, I had to do up your fly as another fellow walked in to the Men's room) to High. School, when as a Marketing Project we put all of the manequines of the store window that were suppposed to promote school clothes, but decided to manipulate the maneguies into distinct positions..I recall Mr. Wickins (our teacher) not being a happy guy.
Harry, I have more memories than I can possibly put in writing. Almost all are of fun and humour, but in life there are times of sorrow. I will always remember your compasion when my Dad died in Grade 8. A very tough time for me, but you said and did the right things at the right times; always considerate of others.
Even though we have not been in close contact the last while; we both know that nothing had changed as far as our relationship; as though no time had passed.
I promise to keep in contact with your family; so important to you
Harry; I Love You; miss you, and have nothing but great memories of you. My children have/will memories of thëir "Üncle Harry""
I hope we can start some new "memories when I see you next!!

Dear Terry, Nellie, Rhonda, Debbie and Randy:
It is with deep sadness that I send my condolences to your family during this time of sorrow. I have not seen Jeff for many, many years, but, have happy memories of him. Who wouldn't.....when Jeff and his cousin Brent were in the same room...it was, to say the least, hysterical. The stories that those 2 could tell when they got together....I will never forget. May you find peace, Jeff and God bless you all.

Dear Nellie,Terry,Rhonda Debbie and Randy,
My very deepest sympathies to you all. I Pray God will hold you in the palm of His hands giving you comfort and peace. Remember the good and happy times. I shall always remember Jeff's sparkling eyes and broad smile.
Remembering the times we spent together, the kids hanging together. the times we spent at the lake, eating at each others houses. The time you bought the motel and moved it to Pidgeon Lake for a cottage... Such good memories, I'm sorry we lost touch! God bless you all at this time.
Love Alice

Our family new Jeff, Rhonda and Debby right from birth to 1968 when we moved to Surrey, BC. Our kids, Judy, Roy, Katherine and Fay played together quite often or went with their mothers to Meadowlark Mall. Jeff was always on the go. I was fortunate to be in Edmonton and able to attend his Celebration of Life and visit with family and friends. My condolences to Nellie and Terry, Debbie, Randy and Rhonda.

Dear Terry, Nellie, Debbie (Randy) and Rhonda,
We had such good times and memories growing up together. We camped, waterskiied and just spent time together as families do. I have nothing but good memories of us going over to your house and Shane and Jeff always horseing around, wrestling, going for their long walks and just doing boy stuff. Rhonda, you and I were either out riding horses and exploring old houses, or sticking my had on an old rusty nail while crawling through an old building around your place in West Edmonton and running off the hospital for a tetnus shot or going out to Pigeon Lake to spend time on the lake with the boats and water skiing. Wow, time really does fly by. I would have definitely come to pay my respects if I had known. Please remember you are always in my heart. May you sense God's tender words being spoken to your heart and an everlasting peace that comes in knowing He is always with you. Good bye Jeff it was great knowing you. All my love Deanna

We were truly saddened when we heard of Jeff's passing. We had the honour and privilege of knowing Jeff for close to 20 years. Jeff was a big part of my family for many years, and when I look back on those memories, a big grin comes across my face. Some of my favorite memories - from trying to dump Jeff out of the tube on Bear Lake, to fishing in pouring rain, skidooing all day till we would almost run out of gas, and Jeff making the biggest campfires you would ever see. Jeff was always there to help for whatever you needed, and always had a big smile on his face. I also worked with Jeff for several years at Shell, and was amazed by his work ethic and skill. There wasn't a problem Jeff couldn't solve, and he never stood still. Yet, he found time to have fun and play the odd practical joke on his co-workers, much to his delight.
Jeff, we will truly miss you, but feel blessed to have known you.

You will be forever in our hearts.
Love always,

So very sorry to hear about Jeff.
My memories go back 25 years when I met Jeff through my cousin Jeff Howlett. Soon his friends and my friends started "hanging around" together. Alot of fun was had in those carefree years. The dating soon began and Jeff became my life for 4 years. The Sargents were like a second family to me and treated me like one of their own. I think of you all often and can only imagine how hard this is.
Jeff- I always just wanted you to live your best life and be happy...
I knew some day that you would fly away, so leave us if you need to, we'll still remember you as an angel flying too close to the ground.

My thoughts and prayers are with Jeff's family and friends. Jeff was synonymous with laugher and fun and I know Jeff helped far more people than even he was aware of. I was fortunate to have been able to work with Jeff at a number of places over the past 15 years and witnessed the positive effects he had on so many people. I truly believe that this world is a better place for Jeff having been here. It's times like this that show how important our relationships with people are… they are priceless.

Jeff you have touched our lives in so many ways. From learning as adults we too can fly kites as high as they can go, to building a "real" campfire, to perfecting a green weedless lawn, to having coffee with the birds and squirrels at their feeders, to understanding the vulnerabilities of being human. You are so very special in our lives and truly felt like a brother over the many many years as part of our family. We will always hold you dearly in ourt hearts. See you in heaven. (Jud will bring extra kite string!)

As parents ourselves and with children the same age,we had the pleasure to have known Jeff in the earlier stages of his very short life. We were fortunate enough to have met Jeff through our sons, primarily Dayna and Lance.Jeff was a born leader and showed it during the period of time, my son Danny and I coached amd managed Jeff and Dayna during their young Hockey lives. Jeff was truly an inspiration to all who new and played with him. ( Mind you there were those who dreaded making contact with him on the ice.) Mary & I will always be grateful and can only say, "Thanks for the memories Jeff".
Our hearts ache for all the pain and suffering each of the family are going through at this time of mourning. May God grant all of you his blessings along with the strength and perseverance at this most heartbreaking time in your lives. No one can possibly realize the extreme pain and suffering each of you are experiencing in the loss of your son and brother.If it is at all possible we would ask that you "Rejoice" in the loving memories Jeff left with each of you.
God be with you all.

I am very saddened to learn of Jeff's passing. Although it has been many years since I have spoken with Jeff, I remember his boyish charm and gregarious personality very well. We spent many days riding the yellow school bus to and from elementary and junior high school and Jeff's outgoing personality and sense of humor always made that drive more enjoyable. Rhonda, my heart goes out to you and my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I did not know the rest of Jeff's family very well but I would like you all to know that you are on the minds of everyone that had the pleasure of crossing paths with such a great guy!

It is with such sorrow that I read of Jeff's passing...I was good friends with Debbie in our younger years on the acreage north of the "Royalite" and Jeff was always the "little" brother. My memories of those days are filled with laughter, sunshine, and the play times always outdoors! My thoughts are with you today and my hopes are that you smile a little each day when you think of Jeff.

Harry,
That's how I know you best, how I have known you for 28 years. A boy who grew into a man who never lost his boyish charm. I leave the stories for How, Tab, King, Wang, A.E. and Al to recall. I just want you to know simply put,I love you and I miss you, and that will never go away. For Nellie, Terry, Rhonda, Debbie and Randy, my heart goes out to you for a loss that words can never heal. I keep you in my heart and thoughts always.

It is with shock and great sadness to learn of Jeffs passing. I was fortunate to meet Jeff through his dads electrical company and worked with Jeff for a number of years. Within a very short time we became good friends and I discovered he had an amazing talent for playing the drums. Jeff played drums in my band for many great parties and dances in the rural Edmonton area for a number of years. My most unforgettable memory of Jeff is when we stopped for a break along the highway on our way home from a dance. Jeff proceeded to use the hood of the truck as a drum, I grabbed the fiddle and played along as Karen danced in the middle of the road. I will never forget his great sense of humor, his kindness, loyalty and above all his friendship throughout the years. Jeff, you will be sadly missed and never forgotten.
Our prayers and thoughts go out to the Sargent family.

Years have passed since I had the pleasure of seeing Jeff in Edmonton. Though he was a classmate of my brother we certainly had our fair share of laughs and good times. I will always remember his brilliant smile, firm handshake and magnetic personality; just some of the things that render his memory indelible. I am so sorry that it's Jeff that had to remind me how much I take life for granted. On the other hand, I am so grateful that he was a part of my life and I know he's now in heaven drawing smiles and happiness wherever he goes. God bless Jeff's family at this difficult time, and give them the strength and peace that Jeff would surely instill upon them. My heart felt condolences go out to you all...

It is with great sadness I hear of Jeff's passing. His friendship and all that came with it are lifetime memories for me and although I am greatly saddened by this news - I can't help but smile every time I think of Jeff and the things he did to make me laugh. Jeff, Thank-You for the countless laughs and memories and all the times you were there to help with whatever needed doing - 4 wheeling, sleding, camping, motorbikes and all the fun things we did as teenagers are priceless and I can only hope my son has the chance to experience at least a few of the great things we did but more importantly with someone like you.
You'll be greatly missed but not forgotten.
Nellie, Terry, Debbie, Rhonda & families - our deepest condolences and prayers are with you all during this difficult time.
Sincerely

For the past eleven years Jeff has been a good friend and the very best neighbor anyone could ask for. He was funny, kind and generous – always willing to lend a hand. Many projects were completed together, and countless jokes and stories shared. He was especially kind to our children and our german shepherd, always teasing and having fun. We are so sorry to lose Jeff, and will miss him terribly. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this difficult time.

Tough to find the words.
Met Jeff in Grade 4, and since day one of grade 4, countless laughs and memories, and a friendship I will cherish forever. A few of my childhood/schooltime memories with Jeff;
-nickname - harry/hairball/Sarge
-"moody blue" (his prized truck in Highschool)
-"that one Gulf" (our favorite coffee stop on Highway 16 where it was nothing to sit down after school, as a teen, and drink 20 cups of coffee, each) Think we were the reason most Coffee Shops stopped "all you can drink coffee".
-junior high parties at the Sargents, "coolest basement in the land"
-the day he shaved off his "cheezy" junior high mustache (Jeff never backed off a dare) He couldn't grow it back fast enough! We laughed for weeks, don't think he ever shaved it again!
Jeff loved to make people laugh. Fortunate as one of "the gang" to share his love to entertain. He enriched the lives of everyone he met.
Deepest condolences to the entire Sargent family.

Jeff was a part of our family for almost 20 years. Our girls knew Jeff as Uncle Jeff - they loved his sense of humour and time he had for them. We have so many fond memories of Jeff, especially the campfire memories. Jeff knew how to make the best campfires, could always be counted on to chop all the firewood, tend the fire and keep the campfire conversations going. Jeff always had a listening ear and a great sense of story telling.
Jeff will be missed.

I was saddened to hear of Jeff's passing, and even though I had not seen him in many years he was very much apart of my childhood memories. My most vivid memories of Jeff are those from all of our camping trips! He was always ready to take us fishing, show us how to chop wood or even just take us for ice cream. He will be missed, my thoughts go out to his family.

Jeff was one of the good ones. He was always making jokes and knew how to make you smile. I have many great memories with him camping and getting his truck dirty. He will forever be remembered as Uncle Jeff to me.

We were deeply saddened by the news of Jeff's passing. We had the pleasure of getting to know Jeff when he was just out of high school. He quickly became an important part of our family and we loved it when he stopped by. Our family dinners were so much more fun when Jeff was there to share stories with us. Jeff was full of life, respectful, kind and caring, and although he was only in our lives for a short period of time, we’ve thought of him often. Our thoughts go out to his family and friends

We've lost one of the good ones! Jeff's willingness to care, listen and help where ever he could will be never forgotten. Jeff was one of my best friends, we went through allot together, helping each other. I'll never forget his visits, phonecalls and help.......and that never ending smile. Jeff, I love you brother!

It was with shock and surprise that I learned of Jeff's passing. I can still vividly remember our fun times and many laughs shared together during high school in Edmonton. I had lost touch with Jeff after graduation and our moves in the oil patch, but can fondly look back on my High School years and friends that made my time special, memorable and fun - Jeff was one of those friends. My condolences to Jeff's family, friends and co-workers.

I had lost contact with Jeff when I moved to Fort Saskatchewan and my wife and I were deeply saddened to learn of his passing. I worked alongside Jeff at DMI in Peace River when he worked in the Woodroom and we became good friends. This was not uncommon as Jeff made friends easily and quickly earned the respect of his peers due to his work ethic. Chris and I extend our condolences to Jeff's family and loved ones at this difficult time.

It is with great sadness that the news of Jeffs passing came this week. Our thoughts and condolenses go out to his family and friends. Jeff was considered one of the best electricians and one of the nicest guys that worked here at the Mill in Peace River. The years spent carpooling and wiring houses and odd sled trip will be remembered. Jeff was always there to help out and assist to a lot of folks here and he will be missed.

It was a great sadness that came over us when we heard of Jeff's passing. Our flashbacks of jokes told over coffee sitting in the house or the deck and shared suppers in Peace River will keep his memory alive. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

My heart goes out to all of you, I am so sad to hear of Jeff's passing. I haven't seen Jeff in many years, but I can remember many good times in our teens. Skiing in the mountains with our families, hanging out at each others homes. God bless you all. Karen Schutz (Greenough)
