Well it has been an entire year. I miss you everyday! Every time I hear a motorcycle, I think of you! Hope you are feeling no pain and are hanging with everyone who has gone before us. Give my mom a big hug for me! I love you Jeff!

Just thinking of you. Miss you bud. Love you.

Ollie, you welcomed EVERYONE into your life. Didn’t matter who it was. You always had a smile on your face, you were always so kind and sweet. A true light of the earth. You had one of the biggest and brightest smiles I’ve ever seen on a person. You literally lit up a room and brought everyone’s spirits up. All I remember is always laughing and smiling whenever you were around. I wish you knew how deeply loved and cared for you were. I know after Best Buy we stopped hanging out cause we had our lives to live for. But you really were cherished deeply.

So sorry for your loss my friend. God bless and much love.

I've known Jeff since 5th grade. We drifted apart in high school, but he was always a friend in some way. I would run into him at concerts or at a bar from time to time after high school, and he was always the sweetest, funniest human. When I was a kid, I had the biggest crush on him, and hoped that we would get married some day because he was just so incredibly kind and fun to be around. He will always have a big place in my heart.

My deepest condolences to the family my friend Jackie I love you and I am here for you 🙏

Part 2–
I’ll always cherish the silly moments, too—our inside jokes, pretending we were power rangers, and staying up late reenacting our favorite cartoons. You made everything fun, and I wish we had more of that as adults. I wish life hadn’t taken us in different directions. I wish we’d spent more time together.

It’s true what they say—you don’t realize what you have until it’s gone. Our family is broken without you, Jeffery. We’ll never be the same. I keep thinking about all the time I wish we had, all the things I wish I’d said or done. I should have checked in on you more, spent more time with you, told you how much you meant to me. You were the best cousin I could have ever asked for, and the bond we shared was one of a kind.

Jeffery, you were such a beautiful soul—happy, sensitive, full of love and kindness. Thank you for being my buddy, my family, my greatest supporter. I’ll carry your memory with me every single day, and I’ll miss you for the rest of my life. I just hope you’re looking down on us now, smiling, and knowing how much we love you.

Until we meet again, I’ll be expecting one of your big hugs. Watch over us, protect us, and stay with us in spirit. You will live in my heart forever, Jeffery.

I love you so much. Always and forever.

Love,
Whitters

Part 1 —-

I’ve written this so many times because I only have 2,000 words to sum up a lifetime of love, memories, and the incredible person you were. How can I possibly capture everything you meant to me in so few words? I’ll do my best, but nothing I write could ever do you justice, Jeffery.  I still can’t believe I’m sitting here, saying goodbye to you. It doesn’t feel real, and it doesn’t feel right. The world feels so much darker without you in it. You were one of a kind—so special, so full of light. I’ll never forget your hugs, the kind that made you feel safe and whole, like you were never alone. You gave those hugs like they were meant to heal the world. Your smile was contagious, and your presence was magnetic. No matter what was going on, you could light up a room just by walking into it. Family gatherings will never be the same without you. You brought the laughter, the joy, and the heart.  

Growing up, you weren’t just my cousin—you were my best friend, my partner in crime, and my brother. We were inseparable. Every childhood memory I have has you in it because we were always together. It was us against the world. I’ll never forget how you always had my back. Like the time we were playing soccer, and I was the only girl, and the boys were being mean to me. Without a second thought, you stood up for me, even though you were younger. That’s who you were: kind, loyal, fearless, and protective. You never let anyone mess with me. You showed me what unconditional love and support looked like, and those moments have shaped me into the person I am today.

Ollie was the first to greet me - very loudly - the first time I walked into Reverie. Whenever I was there, he was ALWAYS loud and enthusiastic and friendly and bursting with energy. He was willing to answer any question I had - and I had a LOT of them - about tattooing and technique and materials and jewelry and anything and everything in between. He never made me feel dumb for asking. He always gave me a hug when we said bye. He really was great at his job, and his kindness meant a lot to me. I’m glad I got to meet him during his time on this earth. It’s been wonderful to get to see photos and memories from his loved ones, even if it’s for the most terrible of reasons. Thanks, Ollie 💖

I was really shocked to hear of your passing friend. I have been going to Reverie for quite a few years now. Spending hours in there while Charles tattooed me I really got to know you. You were always so sweet, kind and funny. I remember Charles and I joking with you that I got your nickname in my tattoo (Ollie was my late pups name) . You laughed with us. You pierced me a few times and changed out my jewelry . You were so gentle and kind. Times we were all hanging out after my tattoos you always made me laugh.  I really will miss your good energy and aura around the shop and my deepest condolences to your family . You were loved💕. Rest easy sweetheart!

Ollie my family and I found through a piercing special he was having at Reverie, and we hadn’t stopped raving about him since. He had done every one of my piercings, and I just got my first big tattoo piece ever designed and done by him late November. He was such a light and everyone that knew him loved him deeply. He was such a great guy and he will forever be in our hearts 🖤🖤

Ollie “Lucky” was one of the kindest humans I’ve ever had the pleasure of calling my friend. It started with one tattoo, and turned into years of friendship, laughter, music, and more tattoos. Ollie was so easy to talk to, and I will never forget the amazing hugs he would give! The world lost a good one, but I know he’s watching over all of us. We love you Ollie. Fly high friend. ❤️

Hi, I am Jeff‘s oldest cousin. I first and foremost would like to thank everyone who has had something kind and positive to say about Jeffrey since he passed away with my average sleuthing skills I have seen and read every like, comment, post, and story that I could find , and it has brought me such joy to read those things. In such a sad time there’s something to be said about this situation in particular and I think that it is always the people who shine the brightest, who when you’re in a room with them they fill you with laughter and love, who are taken too young. Jeffrey was a beautiful soul. He was such a kind child so sweet so caring so empathetic he had the best attitude and smile, I loved when he gave us crazy eyes. We spent so much time together growing up. My parents basically had a third child he was with us so much, and we loved it. So many fun trips and adventures we went on together. The three musketeers. Unfortunately our parents didn’t see eye to eye multiple times and that changed our bond and our relationship forever. I’m happy now though that for the last 8 years I can say that I know that he grew into a resilient, fun kid who had a passion for the need for speed, whether that be snowboarding, being on a motorcycle, or driving fast in a car, he loved it. He was so young and just stepping into his career, a career that challenged him, showed his passion for drawing and artwork, he got to live in the world that he wanted to create with his job. I’m so thankful for the memories together of him tattooing me and my husband. I’m thankful that even though all I have are memories and pictures now that I atleast have those of Jeffrey. I hope he’s up there somewhere looking down at all of us with fondness and love, knowing just how much we all loved him.

Jeffrey loved my mom something fierce. He was more of a brother to us than a cousin. With all the time we all spent together, it was like he was always with us. We loved it and we loved him so much.

Loved all our get togethers with our Nanny at our house.

Jeffrey loved to be on vacation with us back east. It was such a fun time together with my parents.

Wonderful times in Cincinnati with his aunts and Nanny.

Having lunch in St George. I miss you! Miss you very much! We all miss you!

First Christmas in Utah! You were so little but so happy and excited that Santa was coming to find you in Utah!

Jeff, 
You will be missed dearly! I am glad you got to enjoy your dream of tattooing! You were loved by so many! Give nanny a big hug for me! Enjoy riding in the sky young nephew! Love and miss you sooooooo much!

Ollie and I shared a lot special moments. One of my most cherished memories is with him. The first time we hung out, we drove to LA and back in one night. He had two tickets to see Coheed and Cambria on Sunset Boulevard. I had to work at 7:30am the next morning. I worked across the street from the shop. Somehow, I convinced my manager to let me leave a little early. I told him I was trying to do something crazy and spontaneous and he fully supported it. The whole 4 hour drive, there wasn’t a song that played that we both didn’t know all the words to. It was so much fun. We made it to LA and into the venue right before they took the stage and we made it home with two hours to spare. I’ll never forget that day. I loved him so much. I was his apprentice and he called me his best friend. He truly made a positive impact in my life and I’m grateful I got to know him. He had a beautiful soul.

Kurt and I were working on cleaning in his room and came across this paper that Kurt wrote 15 years ago (October 2010), his senior year - titled Jeff White - Brother and Friend. Kurt best describes Jeff in these words:
"There is a person in this world that goes by the name of Jeff White, the reason that I know I'm a better person today. He just happens to be my brother and best friend. Jeff is one of those people, that if you're in a bad mood, he can always cheer you up. He is very humorous and can always put a smile on your face when it is needed. He tries very hard at everything he does and has many different talents. 
Only one word can come to mind when I think of Jeff White - extraordinary. The biggest reason we get along so well is music. Music has affected our lives in many ways. Jeff and I are always going to different concerts and expressing our thoughts and emotions through music. Two of our favorite songs from our favorite band, Rise Against include "Swing Life Away" and "Everchanging". Jeff taught me lessons that if you have a troubled life that I can really just "Swing Life Away". Jeff reminds me that no matter what happens in life, I can just move on and do it better next time.
My brother really means the world to me and I know that I mean the world to him because he has a tattoo with my initials KW and my favorite number 12. These will forever be a part of his skin. Jeff helped me move on in life no matter what has happened to me. 
Whether I'm in a bad mood or I have made a mistake, Jeff always sees the brighter side of things. 
Jeff will truly be my best friend and brother forever. Swing life away brother because "there is nothing simple when it comes to you and I, always something in this everchanging life - Rise Againts 2003).

Dear Jeffery,
We were there the day you were born and have Loved you every day since. I’m so heartbroken and really can’t believe you’re gone. You deserved so much more. The memories we have with you we will keep close to our hearts. You will never be forgotten but you will be missed forever. We Love you always and forever kiddo.
Love you Jeffery
Aunt Cathy❤️
