It doesn't feel like Christmas without you brother.   I love you and miss you everyday.


I still think of Jeff everyday and today is especially hard as it is the second of his birthdays that I have celebrated without him.  I am so thankful to have had him in my life.  I love you and miss you bro.  

Jeff Rice was a fiercely independent and private man and I was privileged and honored to have him as my best friend for over 25 years. 
I will miss playing giutars with him every Friday and Saturday nights, losing to him playing golf and the endless hours of talikng about ideas or plans for the future.

Jeff was truely free and lived on his own time and never wore a watch.  He worked and slept when he wanted to and did pretty much what he wanted when he wanted.  He was one of the hardest working people I ever met and he was always there when I needed him, usually without even having to ask.  Jeff would tear down a car and rebuild it better than new or would tear down a house and rebuild it without giving it a second thought.  Thats just how he was and how he approached everything.  He would nust dig in and get it done.  

He fought like a champion right up to his last breath.  There is nothing harder or a more helpless feeling than watching someone you love die over 6 months but i am thankful I could be there for him.  I think about him every day and try to remember all the good times but usually end up  crying and when I do I can almost hear him saying "quit crying you big baby" which makes me smile because thats what he would say, with a compassionate voice if he were still with us.  

Jeff was a kindred spirit and I loved him more than I have words for and he left a hugh hole in my heart when he passed that will never be filled.

I recently learned of Jeff's death. He was my friend and a kind, creative, funny , intelligent person. I hope when his last moments came, it was his father who came and gathered him to walk with him.
