I am at a loss. For the last 5 months, I've been obsessed with the illness and eventual passing of my mother, who lost her battle with CHF on 04/20/20202. In the midst of all that, I missed the passing of my old friend Jeff. Jeff and I were good friends through elementary school, before I move to the other side of town. We reconnected at NGHS. I really liked Jeff. We played football and baseball together. I will always remember him fondly and I am saddened to hear of his passing. My deepest and most heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.
I was blessed to meet Jeffery in his last couple of months. He was always open and honest about his illness and his life. He had a few great statements that I wrote down in my journal because I felt they were as pure and had been well analyzed through the challenge he was facing. He spoke highly of his sister, Carolee and his friends- he truly loved you all deeply. You don’t meet a guy like him very often- Rest In Peace my friend!
Jeff used to visit his Mother Leslie in her room at Cottonwood Creek Nursing Home. His mother shared a room with my sister Barbara Babbitt. I would come to visit my sister and he would be there having a fun visit with his Mom. My sister and I both enjoyed his visits. It made us feel like we were a part of the family.
So sorry to hear of his death. He seemed like an easy going fun person.

Jeff was an awesome human and trained as a student with me for many years which he was promoted to ‘Associate Instructor in the Art of Combat system, he also appeared in over a dozen martial arts instructional videos. Jeff’s fortitude and willing willingness to express himself was rare. Jeff taught me many life lessons and was always a great buddy. ラルフ セビア 戦争狼 Ralph Severe
Dearest Jeff,
Your bright smile, quick wit and compassion for others will be much missed by your family and friends. Be assured, your memory will live in our hearts forever. May your fishing days be endless....
All our Love,
Dad and Bonnie
One of the kindest men I have ever met. He was genuine and I loved that about him. I will miss our heart to heart talks, his jokes but most of all I will miss his friendship he was always there to help. My son was going through a rough time , Jeff talked to him reassured him that this will pass and helped him sort it all out . He was so compassionate I appreciated that gesture so much . I will miss you sweet friend
As Anna's Mom I only spent limited time with Jeff but his enthusiastic desire to"paint a picture" with me will have to be realized "on the other side"! What a smile we who knew Jeff were treated with when he greeted you! That's the Memory I will treasure.
