I worked forty two years in sales and had a lot of sales managers. Jeff was the best! He was a great person! 
Thoughts and prayers for the family.

Mary, Jeff was an exceptional boss to have at Circuit.  He gave Johnny an opportunity to excel in a different field from what he had done the last 30+ years.  He was an encourager to him.  Johnny was old enough to be Jeff's daddy, but Jeff always showed him & myself respect.  He was a fine Christian man, husband & father.  He loved his family more than life.

Jeff and I met while getting our insurance license and both became agents with Farm Bureau. He was always an inspiration and had a passion for people and Christ. He will be greatly missed. My prayers are with the family even though I know Jeff is now rejoicing.

I had class with Jeff at Farm Bureau and always admired his passion for life and Christ.  He helped me many times over the years and was an inspiration to us all. I will miss him.  Your family is in our prayers.

Jeff was an incredible example of Christian leadership and was a fantastic mentor to me back at Circut City.  He will be missed.

My heart goes out to all of you. Jeff was a giant in the faith and in life. He was kind, compassionate, encouraging, and inspiring. He made an impact on my life and my daughter's life when my husband passed away. He was my fellow exchangite, my insurance agent, but most importantly my friend. Rest in peace my dear friend. You will be forever missed.

Mary, I'm so sorry and can't imagine what you are feeling. Jeff was the best.

Mary, We are thinking of you and your family during this difficult time. Jeff and I had some great Christian competition on the softball field and the basketball court. I will still be out of town this weekend but my thoughts and prayers are with you. Jack and family

May God comfort those you leave behind and give them peace. You were my Facebook friend that I met through your search for some who knew personally your mother, Kakie. I had gone to both elementary and high school with her, was on the high school debate team with her, had spent the night at her house. I mailed you my high school Yearbook for my junior year which was Kakie's senior year.  Though we never met in person, you greatly influenced my life through your FB posts and  someday I will meet you in our heavenly home.

I only knew Jeff a short time because of Farm Bureau, but he always treated me like an "old friend". He was an incredibly kind and positive person. This world is going to miss him! I know I will!

Will always remember Jeff's eulogy at my brother-in-law's funeral. We all knew what he was going through and he still stood and paid tribute to his friend. Was our link to the Farm Bureau and I always tried to support him in the office's fundraisers. He was a great guy and will be greatly missed.

You are missed already, my friend.  May the family have all have the comfort and peace in knowing what an amazing legacy you've left behind and be proud of not only how many lives you've touched but by your walk with Christ and how you lived it with His guiding spirit.  I will personally miss you so very much, Jeff.  I am one of so many that you have touched and while I selfishly miss you, I know that you're hanging in the coolest place many of us can only imagine.  Thank you, thank you, thank you - I shall cherish the memories forever and will do my best to honor you and do all I can for your family until we are all reunited.  I love you, buddy.  See you on the other side,

My condolences to the family. Jeff became a good friend over the years and was a wonderful example of finding contentment in any situation. May God bless his wonderful family in the days ahead.

So sorry for your loss!  Jeff was always very kind and will be greatly missed!  May God give you peace during this difficult time!
Love and Prayers,
April Purkey
Morristown West Farm Bureau (Hamblen County)
