I was never officially introduced to Jeff, but always felt I knew him through my daughter Cindy. There were many Sunday mornings on his way into church, while Cindy and I were on the phone before service, that he shouted Hi, Mom to me. My thoughts and prayers today are with Brenda and family.

It is with joy, and sadness, that we celebrate Jeff. I have known Jeff for over forty years, since high school, and had the pleasure of seeing his transformation into a truly godly man. He was happiest bringing people to God. I will miss how he looked out for my kids and me, always had time to pray with us, for us, knew when to call out of the blue to check on us and offer encouraging words and prayer. God blessed us when he gave us you Jeff, to have you in our lives, to give us laughter and smiles, to look after us. Now your heavenly father is looking after you. It was a pleasure knowing you Dearest, and I will see you again one day. Thank you for your love and care. To Brenda, Jennene, Omer, Sr., Jeff's children, and brother and sisters, I'm so sorry for your loss. Words are so inadequate. We love Jeff and will miss him greatly.

Jeff was such a encouraging man of God. He would always ask me about my mom and family, never hesitating to pray for them. He will be greatly missed by so many people.

Although we never got to meet Jeff in person, our family has heard so much about him from Angela (his sister-in-law and our sister). Angela has told us about his faith, his big heart, his humor, and what an inspiration he was.
To the family of Jeff, please know that we have you in our thoughts and prayers. Jeff was truly a treasure and blessing. (The Baron's family).

The best gift that you can give "Jeff" is simply to have your life right with JESUS and plan to see him again in heaven. This, most definitely, will be the best! Amen!

Mrs. Jeffries and family, my husband and I met your husband on a few occasions when he came to work on our houses. His smile could light up a room, and he always had a listening ear and would pray for our family at a moment's notice. Even though we were only acquaintances, he left his mark on our family with his example of being an enthusiastic servant of Christ. We will always remember him and your family in our prayers.

I met Jeff as a result of a referral from a home improvement/plumbing store, years ago. From that day to as recent as 2 weeks ago while speaking to him in FL, he never said goodbye without a prayer. Rest in Heaven brother Jeffrey.

Jeff was such an inspiration to everyone. I was describing him to my husband and I said he was a person you never had to wonder if you had met before because if you had met Jeff you certainly did not forget him! He was such a wonderful servant to our Lord and I am sure he will have many jewels in his crown. We will miss him!

I love Omer and he was an inspiration to me. I knew him in younger years and he always made me laugh with his sense of humor. When He prayed, God always heard and miracles would abound every day. Omer is a good friend and a kind and generous Man of God. I love his family and I will truly miss him. You are very special and I will see you again in or Father';s house in Heaven. I love you Omer!

I was so shocked when Ed Woosnam told me that Jeff was very sick. Jeff was such a healthy looking man every time I had seen him. I loved to talk to him when he came into my shop for me to sharpen his blades. Jeff had such a wonderful witness every time I talked to him, I will miss him.

I became a realtor in August 2015 and began my career at Rose Realty, Jeff used to be Rose's handyman for the rental properties. One day he came in and just gave me a hug and toilet papered Rose's office. Haha
I had no idea at the time who he was but what I did see was a wonderful, kind hearted man of God. On his last visit with us about a month ago, my husband Ben and I prayed with Jeff at my desk. What a memorable moment. He said it was about time he saw a whole lot of Jesus up in there. What a blessing. Prayers for your family.
