Throughout his life, Jeff found joy in the simple pleasures that brought him closer to nature and family.

This passion became a cherished tradition he passed down to his great-grandchildren, Kloee and Max, from an early age, spending countless hours teaching them about birds and nature. He also enjoyed playing football with them and attending their flag football tournments.

Jeff was not only my loving husband and partner in life but my better half. His absence will be deeply felt by all who knew him.
