I’ve been fortunate to have many friendships in my life, but not all as significant and enjoyable as the one I hold so close with Jeff. He honestly made me and and anyone around him look at our time on this planet more enjoyable. I am so grateful for every memory from the day we met and I feel certain that I’m not alone on this. Sometime around 5th -6th grade when he and I were inseparable, he gave me one of his wallet size school photos of himself. He then asked if I had mine yet. I remember thinking that his reasoning and gesture didn’t come from a place of arrogance, but of true friendship and he said “ it’ll be like we’re together all the time!” . Yeah, that is the kind of impactful and influential spirit that will be missed ( I still have the wallet size photo). Thank you Jeff for making my childhood better and giving me so many hilarious and poignant memories to escape to in the day to day of adulthood. I truly love you for that.
My deepest condolences to Aunt Linda, Billy and Mike for the loss of our beloved Jeffrey! May God comfort you all during this difficult time and always. I will forever cherish all of the good memories we shared while growing up together. Rest in Heaven sweet cousin! I love you all!
