So very sorry to hear of Jeff’s passing. He was a very nice man. May he rest in eternal peace.
Very sad day to hear that my Uncle Jeff has past. He was a wonderful person and now he can be reunited with my Grandma. If his brother and many sisters plus nieces and nephews would have been there to pay our respects. RIP Uncle Jeff I love you and will always keep you in my heart.
Rest in peace Uncle Jeff. I am so sorry to not have been in touch and to have heard of his passing so many days later. I have fond memories as a child and will always be grateful for the little time we had spent together. Please note, Uncle Jeff has many survivors; daughters, brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews who are all mourning for him. He will always be loved and remembered.
I am so sad to discover my eldest brother has passed. The seven siblings in our family are spread across the United States and really spread us more miles apart with; our Mother referred to us as her 7 only children… as the years passed we practiced her comment; unfortunately. We did manage to grant her, her last wish and all 7 gathered to lay her to rest 28 yrs ago.
I hope he, Mother and Daddy are all finally resting in peace.
To Mary Anne Claydon. I am glad to know Jeff had someone and my condolences to you for your loss.
That said… I love you Jeff. RIP If I am ever able to find your daughters; Julie and Dallas; I will let them know of your passing.
Sorry to hear of my Uncle’s passing. As the youngest when he left ohio my memory’s are few but good ones. RIP. Give Grandma a kiss.
Many of Jeff’s family have posted tonight. We have all just learn of his death. Most of us live in different states now and we have all drifted apart after Mother’s death. I am the middle child. When Jeff moved to Florida, he became my best friend. We ran together, spent time on the beach, and spent days talking. We began to share birthdays and holidays with my children and the other sister who lived in St. Pete. The parties were full of fun, friends and family and it was wonderful. He was there when my little granddaughter was born and he and I spent days at the beach with her when we were both off at the same time. It was hilarious to see the loads of things we drug down the beach to entertain and protect her little body. We had so many great laughs at the site of all that junk for one little girl who only weighed 2 lbs when she was born and only 12 lbs when she started walking. She had Uncle Jeff wrapped around her little finger! Jeff was there to help me when my daughter died in an accident and the little girl was mine to raise. Then, he was there to give me away at my wedding. He said he wouldn’t have been able to give his best friend away if it wasn’t to such a good man. When we moved away, he came a few times for holidays and it was always loud and full of memories to share with all.
When I heard of his death today, it was just impossible to believe he was gone. We don’t know what happened. Was he suck and didn’t let any of us know? Was there an accident? Did he have friends who were with him when he died? This has been a shock to us all, almost too much to take in. Jeff was very much loved by his family. Time had changed him in many of his habits and he became elusive with us. You never know when you are going to lose someone, and regrets can remain longer than memories. If anyone has answers to our questions, please let us know. For now Jeff, I loved you always, even when I didn’t like you much. You always understood that and knew the truth to it. Your loss will linger with many. I believe God will let us reunite, Mom and Kym and the others we loved and cared about will all be together again with nothing but joy in our reunion. Love you.
