Jeff will be missed.
I knew Jeff since we were kids in the neighborhood. He lived across the street and we played together ALOT. His dog Frenchie used to pull us on our bikes and skates when we were little. We played lots of basketball and football together in the neighborhood, built forts together, shot pellet guns together. Lots of fond memories. He was a great friend.
Our condolences to the Yoder family.

My sympathy to Jeff's family. I have known Jeff from Oakdale, where we played football together. I know the pain the family is going through, I too lost my brother to cancer just three weeks ago. Just remember, a seed has been planted. Now our job is to live right, to see him in heaven again.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, Love leaves a memory no one can steal.

I'm suppose to go to funerals WITH you! Not go to YOUR funeral! Your cousins will miss you too Jeff!

I have known Jeff for years since we were small kids. We used to play pool alot at his house. We always had a good time together. Jeff was always a gentleman in the bars with the women. He was always laughing and happy. I had the opportunity to see him when he was very ill at my sister Tam's house. I am glad he is not suffering any longer. He will be deeply missed by all the lives he touched. I will keep his family in my prayers.

Although its been quite a few years since I've seen Jeff. I have nothing but fond memories of him. He always had a smile on his face, and was definitely the life of the party. I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to his family, but please know this, Jeff is certainly making his entrance into heaven with a great big smile!!
