I can remember ragging Jeff when the Cardinals took a 3-0 lead over his beloved Braves. And then the Braves came back and won the series and it was Jeff’s turn. However, he was a lot kinder than me! I am so sorry to hear about this and will be praying for comfort for the family.

Sad to lose a teammate. I have fond memories of catching those curveballs, and before he fixed his technique, an unintentional, legit screwball. Less fond memories of dodging elbows while trying guard him in the post in practice. Coach Allen said it already- he had tenacity. That sly grin will be missed.

Words can't express my deep sadness for Susan, Terry and Aunt Lorene.  My heart goes out to all.  

With all my love
Angela



This is how we remember Jeff.  We lived next door to the Ketchums back about  the time Jeff was born. Our paths only crossed his first  three years, until recently when we reconnected on Facebook.  A happy toddler who grew into a happy young man. You'll be missed, my little buddy.

We've had lots of fun over the past couple of years.  Thank you so much for the great memories, Jeff.  We will miss you buddy.   

Every time I eat Sushi, I will be missing my Sushi buddy.  Will for sure miss not having your plate to steal from!!  We also shared the same birthday...the tender hearts are born in November!!  Then our poker runs...it will not be the same for sure!!  Please watch over us, friend!!  

Rest In Peace Jeff.  Although we only met thru friends and Lake Cumberland Poker Run, I know you will be missed.  You seemed to always be the life of the party.  My thoughts and prayers are for your  friends and family that lost you too soon.  Fly High 

I sure will miss talking to you about our love for fountains man. I set the cover photo of the fountain powerboat page of your boat  which you have been wanting to get on it and hope it made you smile in heaven man. Til we meet again.  Scott Lanham. 

I didn’t know Jeffrey but I have known his mother and grandmother all my life and I am deeply saddened for their grief and pain. The Lord be with you and with Jeffrey’s father. 

Connie and I were at Aqua Grill at Pickwick when I herd a voice “ Hey Coach Rick”. So good to see him. Our kids played together for 10 years and I had the privilege to coach Jeffery for those years. God bless and Thank You for being in my life.

My wife taught Jeff in 5th grade.  He won a class prize and came to our apartment for a meal.  When this skinny, lefty 5th grader hit tennis balls back to me like he thought he could beat me, I knew he had tenacity.  After coaching him four years and even seeing his last college baseball game at Lambuth...I am the better man for having that honor and privilege.  Even after moving out of state five years ago, Jeff would still remote to my PC and help with those IT issues that some of us who are close to being "boomers" deal with on a daily basis.   20 years ago this month when my brother died, Jeff, Daniel and Matt were my comfort during that time.  I pray for God's peace and comfort for Mr. and Mrs. Ketchum, John (Truck) and family.

My condolence goes to Jeff’s family.  He was a quite gentle type of guy.  My GOD comfort and fill all voids left by his transition to be our HEAVENLY FATHER.   I will remember always him and he’ll truly be MISSED at Monogram Food Solutions.  Jeff may you Rest In Peace in Heaven

Our most sincere and heartfelt condolences to Susan, Terry, Jonathan and Aunt Lorene. We can't adequately express how sorry we were to hear the news. Lean on God for His comfort and strength during these hard days ahead. And know that we are there with you in spirit, even though we can't be in person. 

All our love and prayers, 
  Cheryl and Ray Byars
  Thomas Miller and family

Jeff and I knew each other since we were kids and Central Baptist days. He was a great guy and will be missed. 

You have so many friends that love you. You were always there to lend a helping hand.  You always have the biggest hugs to give.  Nothing will ever be the same without you.  Forever in our hearts you will be.  Fly high and watch all our silliness from heaven.  Love you. My heart is so broken 💔🌈🌷

My heart has been shattered over your passing. You have been an amazing friend to me through the years. I will miss our daily talks. I will miss you. Rest In Peace my friend. I hope you knew much you were loved.

My friend you were a special person and You touched the heart of more people than you realized.  You will be sorely missed, rest easy.
