Jeff was a amazing human being in every aspect, he would definitely have us celebrate his transition without sorrow. Jeff was a friend to everyone, he made you laugh on your worst day, he made you smile without saying a word. Jeff was reliable, responsible, honest, trustworthy, humble, hilarious and the best story teller. Jeffrey will never be far from anyone's thoughts, his sarcasm enabled his brutal honesty, he was one of a kind.
The world would be a better place if we had more like Jeff.

My mother and I rode with him several times and had a chance to get to know him. We considered him a friend. It always brightened her day to see him. She´s gone now, too. I hope they´re having a nice chat.
