Jeff especially loved teaching young people to hunt and fish. He also loved dogs, animals and spending time in nature. He was always very comfortable in the outdoors. Through the years, he touched so many lives and mentored both children and young adults, passing along his passion for everything outdoors.
Jeff is survived by his wife of 17 years, Stephanie Jessee; sons, Alex and Ben; father, Gerald Jessee; sister, Tammy Wallace; nephews, Andy and Steven Wallace, and countless close friends that he considered family.
