Exceptional is the first and only word that appropriately describes Jeff. Only being around him a handful of occasions, I still feel as if knowing Jeff has made a positive impact on the way I approach life. When you look around the room and see someone having so much fun and being the center of the party, you can only want to emulate the guy.
Thanks for being who you are Jeff, you've made an impact on a lot of people!

Words can not describe the sadness I feel about the loss of your wonderful husband and dad. I want you to know that I am sending prayers and love to each of you during this time. I will always think of the humor and quick wit your dad and I shared at school events! We were like two big kids ... and that is just a part of what made him such an AWESOME person!!! I am here for each of you, please call upon me for anything at all. Thinking of you all. Sincerely, Sean Steere
