My prayers go out to all of you. Grew up with the family on Holiday Court. We were all like family. Jeff was like another brother to me. The memories are priceless. We found each on FB this past summer and so wonderful to reconnect. He loved his family so much. I am just in shock this has happened to such a wonderful person. He made us always smile and laugh. God Bless you Jeff. I know you are watching above wondering what the hell happened. You will always be in our hearts and everyone knows that you will be guiding all. Prayers to the family. I am so very very sorry.

This is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do in my life.
The emptiness remaining at the thought of no longer having my friend of three decades to share life's stories with is overwhelming.
Family, feel free to friend me as you need to on line, and anything you need please let me know.
Goodbye Jeff...
Rest in the peace of the most high.
