Went to pay my respects to your dad, and found you. so I didn´t know.
May God bless and keep you and your dad in the palm of His hands forever.

No farewell words were spoken.
No time to say goodbye.
You were gone before we knew it, And only God knows why.
Our heart still aches in sadness and secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know.

On Facebook I saw a guy sitting at the grave of Jeff and I saw the second grave, so I looked who this person was and found out this was Jeff's son. I' ve been very shocked and very down. So sad to see that Father and Son already has left this world.

To the last person who wrote, where did you go to school with him? What are some of the stories?

June 2, 2020

I went to high school with Miles. One of the funniest and most creative souls I've ever encountered. I looked him up because I think of him all the time, even 20 years later, and I was crushed to see that he has passed. My heart goes out to his family. He'll always be in my memories and stories.

I never knew or met Miles, but I know that he was one of Jeff's children. I had seen and spoke to Jeff many times when the Porcaro family lived in Burbank (about 50 years ago). I became, and still am a drummer. Jeff played so well that he became the favorite of many (especially me). I have always looked up to Jeff. Great guy and great player. I will never forget the day that he passed (where I was and what I was doing) I felt very down low that one of our true Guru's had left us, and I have never stopped admiring who he was and forgot how great of a person (and drummer he was). He is just as big of an influence to me now as he ever was (like he is still here). A friend of mine just told me that his son Miles had passed. I have tears and once again feel down low that another fine spirit left us too soon. I don't know why he left us, and would not feel right questioning the cause. I am just very sad that he is not here.... so sad. I don't know what to even say to him? "Rock on Miles, you are still loved man"

Today it will be 26 years since Miles dad Jeff died
Until I found this page I had no idea that Miles had died
Looks just like his Dad
My thoughts are with Jeffs wife on this sad anniversary though there will never be a finer drummer than his Dad
The talent lives on

He was so young, a loving and tender angel has a short life, cause God has another purpose for him, my most deep condolence to his mom and the whole Porcaro family for the premature departure of his beloved son.
