I don't recall a specific time or day, I say everytime we were in the presence of
Jeff you had to have a memorable and good time! Jeff was full of life, always
positive and always needed to stir the pot to keep things exciting!
I loved Jeff's thrill for adventure driving across the USA every summer with the kids in tow.  What an experience they had as kids seeing all of the national parks.  He is truly missed and I know his legacy and memory will live on!!  We love you Jeff!!!

I was deeply saddened to hear of Jeff's passing. Death is hardest on the ones left behind. But I hope it helps the heartache that he is with our heavenly father 🙏 Sending my deepest condolences to Jeff's family and closest friends.  I had the pleasure working with Jeff and he was the sweetest man. He would have given the shirt off his back. We joked about staying at Hotel Burns if we ever made it to Florida to visit.

All of you are in my prayers. I have crashed many family gatherings, as a friend of Amy, and Jeff ALWAYS made me feel welcome. He will be missed....there are so many amazing memories! I was always jealous of the incredible family trips he would plan and always enjoyed hearing about them throughout the years.

My wife, Adriana and myself joined Jeff and Carmen once in a lifetime trip to Norway. There are too many fond memories to mention.

I was so sorry to hear about Jeffrey's passing. He was such a an amazing person and so selfless. I met him at work and ever since day 1 he was a great friend. His laugh was contagious and hello darling was something that always made your day a little bit better. During the hardest part of my life Jeff was the friend I didn’t know I needed. He never pryed or asked too many questions but always knew how to check in in his gentle way. He joked about going on maternity leave after I had my daughter, he took care of me when I was I worst and he didn’t even know it. He will be greatly and dearly missed and his laugh will always be a fond memory along with his famous butter bread❤️

We only got to meet with Jeff…

We only got to meet with Jeff a few times but in those occasions we could certainly see and experience his love for his family.

Thank you Jeff for bringing Shelby into our lives. She is a daughter to us and Pierre is a much better person because of this. You are gone too soon and will be missed.

Rest in Peace

Gerard Marrou and Family

As much as my heart aches for the loss of Jeff, it is so easy to remember everything great about his life. I could never stop joking and bs-ing when Jeff was around. He had a huge heart and was gregarious upon belief. Strangers, family, friends…anyone and everyone were a target to his charm and sense of humor. He never met a situation that he could not make a joke out of. God has a good one up there with him. It was will be a little noisy in heaven.  When you make Jeff laugh…really laugh…it was unmistakable. I’m unsure there are adjectives to describe such a hearty laugh. 

Besides being such a lovable goofball, Jeff also was a role model. I met Jeff  via his lovely wife Carmen during formative years of being a young man. What I saw was a man who was truly taking care of his family. He was the ultimate stay home dad who managed so much is his partnership with Carmen. From lunches with personal touches (the man would make miracles out of leftovers! A self made Diet Coke cooler!), handy man renovations, managing the bills, being involved with his kids (PTA, costume and craft making, church activities!) This guy was someone I truly admired. His actions spoke volumes to me of what it meant to care for a family and be a man. 

I could make a book about the Jeff I met and knew. But his story still continues. His best gift he left behind is his lovely family. I hear Jeff’s laugh in his son Garrett. I see Jeff’s sensitivity in daughter Shelby. Jeff’s sense of adventure carries on with the lovely Carmen. He truly lives on and will be missed. 

Rest in Power my friend. Love you buddy.
