Jeff dearly loved and cherished his fleshly family and many spiritual brothers and sisters.

His family and friends will always have fond memories of his beautiful smile and sparkling eyes and his fun loving personality. You'll never meet a more generous and giving person.

He was someone many people would go to for guidance, encouragement, and solid loving advice.

His lifelong hobby was fishing and in his younger years if he wasn't home you knew you could find him on the river fly fishing. Jeff started his career as a meat cutter at his uncles store Kiles corner in Wapato, where he met his wife Claudine. when he was just out of high school and retired from Safeway meat dept in 2003. He had a true passion for the outdoors and boy could he tell you stories about the many adventures He had. He took pleasure in just being outdoors and was extremely knowledgeable about the valley and it's history.

The Dye and Silvestri family would like to send a special thanks to Jeff's very good friends Jim and Ryan for being our rock during this extremely hard time and appreciate all of the love and support from all of the many friends.
