Jeff was an avid sports fan and loved football and basketball, especially the Houston Rockets and the Houston, Texans. Jeff had a love for basketball as well and enjoyed playing for hours whether at the neighborhood park, or at the nearest recreation center with his dad and his brother, where they ran the entire court. Afterwards, he would tell his dad he must have a hot and spicy sandwich from McDonalds!
Jeff, accepted Christ as a teenager at Love Temple Deliverance Church, where the late Apostle and Prophetess Dennis Douglas were Pastors.
