As my own father, my dad was like my best friend to me. My dad was a great chef, and a good person at heart. I wish I could've been able to have more time with him.

Chef Jeff was an AMAZING chef and even better human being. Taught me a lot about the business of restaurants when I worked for him. When I moved away he signed a      Charlie Trotter cookbook saying   "Your next job better be a chef" I never was able to tell him but I made  it! He was a mentor, inspiration, motivator and friend. May your family have all the blessings they need to get through this time. With much love and prayers. Roger "Pooter" Decker

Jeff was a friend, a brother-in-law and downright good guy. The few times we had together were always pleasant. He will be sadly missed by many. God Bless.

I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to the entire Selvig family. Jeff and I were childhood friends. He was a great guy. May God bless you all.

My love and prayers go out to Seth and family. May God give you a peace and comfort as he wraps His Love around you in your time of need.

Chef Jeff! I liked working for him and not only working But he's also a good friend! He would help you in anyway you needed! So I'll Miss you Sir.

It is with deepest regret and sympathy that I read of the passing of Jeff Selvig. We didn't know him very well, But his mother was one of my favorite nieces. Please accept our heartfelt sympathy for your loss.

I had the pleasure of working with Chef Jeff when he first came to Peoria about 21 years ago. He loved to work hard and have fun. He even made end of month Kitchen inventory interesting. He was unique, talented beyond words and a true friend. May he rest in peace. My prayers are with his family and many others that are affected by this sudden loss.

Jeff was an exceptional man... kind, thoughtful and so very gifted. He will be missed by all who knew him and whose lives that he touched. Rest in peace, Chef Jeff.

I am shocked & saddened by chef jeff's sudden passing. He was an interesting man with varied talents. I always enjoyed our talks, & his taste treats he would bring me when he left work at the Pete Marquette Hotel. He will be missed. May God bless him & his family.

Jeff and I were best friends for most of our young lives and grew up together learning so many of life's lessons together, usually the hard way, but fortunately nothing too serious.I am so deeply saddened by his loss, but happy to have so many great memories. Though life's many twists and turns may take us down different paths, and we both took our different route, I was glad that we were able to connect once again. I'm so happy to read the comments from the people who's lives that he has made better merely by being himself. He really was one of the good ones. I'll miss you my friend.

He was a teacher, an artist, a mentor and a friend.  May our memories keep him forever in our hearts.

I met Jeff a few times and he is the most soft-spoken and kind person. His passing is a shock because he was so young, kind and subtly vibrant. I hope peace and closure can come to everyone that truly loves him, especially his boys!

My brother-in-law, my friend. The few times we had together will be remembered forever. You were a fine fellow, and I will never forget the  moments of singing and playing guitar together

Jeff was an avid student of mine in the art of reloading.  Intent, intelligent and appreciative of any and all advice and hints.  He would come in the shop and show me targets he'd shot.  He was particularly proud of passing that on to his son.  I was saddened to see the notice of his too early passing.

Our Sympathy to the family of Jeff. We had the pleasure of meeting Jeff through motorcycles. He carved a bike out of ice to thank my husband at Reiman's Harley-Davidson and we developed a friendship and huge respect for this man. We also hired him last year to carve a block of ice and create a masterpiece for the 2013 Kewanee Walldog Event. He will be greatly missed for his talents and good soul. God be with his family at this tragic time. Dennie & Dianne Packee (Reiman's Harley-Davidson, Kewanee, Illinois)
