No words can express how sorry I am, about the devastation Jeff's sudden death has left you all in. But I pray for strength for your family and the willingness to get through this. Jeff was a very good friend of my brothers, Chris Prendergast. He spent lots of weekends at my our house during high school. We loved him like a member of our family. He was smart and funny. A great combo, and he'll be missed without a doubt.
~Peace be with you all~

To Jeff's family, I just wanted to say that my brother and Jeff were really close and he was over so much it was like he was a part of our family! I'm so sorry about your loss. Jeff was one of a kind, and will truly be missed by everyone that was blessed to know him.

My "favorite" memory of Jeff is of him coming over to our house to babysit Michaela and Paul with a brown paper bag...I thought he was bringing a snack in case he got hungry. Later I found out the bag was full of fireworks!!! I think that was the last time we had him babysit:)
Jeff made life exciting, and like all good fireworks, he brightened so many lives and leaves us all wanting for more.
Until we meet again, our prayers are with Jeff and his family.
With deepest sympathy & love,
Bob, Wendy,

I am so heart sick about your loss. Jeff would be at our house so much when my son, Chris Prendergast, Jason and Jeff were in high school. He was always offering to help with some little project to help me out around the house. So many memories. He had the biggest heart. May God hold you close and give you strength now and in the future.
