Jeff… I still don’t have the right words.

Since the day we met in 2011, you’ve been the one who showed me how to really live, to let my hair down, to laugh, and to love life for what it is. You saw something in me that I didn’t always see in myself, and you made me feel like I was a one-in-a-million kind of person. 

And the truth is… you had that gift with everyone. You made people feel special. So many people loved and adored you, and it makes complete sense because you had the kindest heart and a way of seeing only the good in people.

You lifted me up when I was down, and even when I was happy, you made me feel even more seen. Looking back, I realize that was just who you were. You forgave flaws so easily and reminded me that we’re all perfectly imperfect and that’s what makes us special.

Over the last 15 years, we shared so many long talks, so many laughs, and even tears. Those moments mean everything to me now. I just wish we could have one more conversation… one more laugh.

I’m so grateful for you, Jeff. For your friendship, your kindness, and everything you showed me.

I miss you more than I can put into words.

Its 10 days later and I am still in shock. Jeff  every time we got together you were always smiling, energetic, fun and just all around happy go lucky. Every year you were always so grateful to be invited to the annual Friendsgiving. I loved how thankful you were. I wish I would have known. I wish I could have done something. You will be greatly missed brother. The earth lost a great human and heaven gained an angel. Thank you Jeff for being in my life and giving me the pleasure to know you.

A toast to an amazing happy soul. Always the life of the party.

I’m deeply saddened by Jeff’s passing. Whenever we crossed paths through work or social gatherings, Jeff always treated me like family, and we effortlessly resumed our connection.

In light of this loss, I find solace in scripture and express my gratitude for the time we shared with Jeff. As Psalm 34:18 reminds us, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” I hold tightly to this hope and lean on God’s comfort in this time of grief.

May we find peace in knowing that Jeff’s memory lives on in the love and kindness he showed to those around him.

Karen’s birthday, Ray & Jeff at Sequoia Brewing Company-cheers!

He was always there for all the important moments in life. Our hearts are broken and he will be missed dearly. May his soul find peace and know he is always loved. ♥️😓

Jeff was one of my favorite people growing up as kids and the only one who gave me a nickname; "Shy Shoes". I often visited Daniella his youngest sister as kids and Jeff would always play with us, coming up with such fun adventures.  His humor growing  up never ceased and we'd often still laugh at childhood memories.  You will be missed by many! Prayers to the family ((hugs))

❤️sending MY Condolences. To the family. I new him and his dad for many years.
😢 you will be missed.
RIP my friend. Rose Gonzalez

RIP my Mejo-  You are loved by Many!

Jeff! I can't put into words how heartbroken I am. I will miss you forever. I loved your humor, sassiness and kind heart. You were so fun  and when I know Jeff was joining to whatever event it was going to a blast. You were a light in everyone's hearts, everybody loved you Jeff. You had funny "terms" for every day words and I will use them proudly. You life mattered and I am glad that I was able to know you as dear friend. Nancy and sisters I am so sorry for your loss. He will forever be your brother.

My deepest sympathy to the wonderful family he left behind.  I’m keeping you in my prayers 🙏

We are deeply saddened to hear about Jeff's passing. He was part of our Sequoia Kendall family . We have so many good fun memories  with Jeff. He was a good guy and always made us laugh. We will miss him. Love you Jeff. Rest in Peace
