Jeff S. Stryker

Our hearts are broken for both you and Darius. We were fortunate to have such a loving, caring, smart brother-in-law.
He had so much love for you and Darius. He was devoted to you both. The last time we saw him was in Sylvan lake. This is a reminder to take the opportunity to be with the ones you love when you can. I remember eating pizza and drinking wine with you guys. The conversation was about Jeff getting Darius the gear he needed for football.
A memory that will never leave me is the three of you singing me Happy Birthday just hours before he died. I honestly can still hear your voices.
Our trip to Boston was wonderful. You both watching us run the Boston Marathon in the pouring rain! Playing Euche at the end of the day. I could go on but these memories we cherish.

One of the best memories I have of Jeff was when we were coming to take Frosty out for his daily walk, and Jeff answered the door. He was all dressed up as it was Bill's birthday, and they were going to New York City to celebrate. Bill had left earlier in the day. Well, of course Frosty decided to jump all over Jeff and got his white fur all over Jeff's nice pants and jacket. Jeff just laughed as always and said "I hope I still look good for Bill's party"! He never got upset about anything, and was always smiling. We did eventually find a roller brush to get most of the hair off, but he was so calm about it. He always found the bight side of everything, and saw the good in everyone he met.
We will truly miss him and his good nature.

When I go to take Frosty out each morning I always smile and remember Jeff's beautiful personality and good nature.

Bill & Darius,

John & I are so sorry to learn of Jeff's passing. He was so lucky to have you in his life as were we to have him as a friend. Our thoughts are with you
