I am so sorry to learn of Jeff's passing. He was the best man I ever worked with at NGM. Kind, compassionate, fair minded and very smart.He treated me with respect. He had a dogged determination which goes along with his wrestling prowess. My thoughts and prayers are with the whole family.

To my dearest brother,  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. For your family the prayer of peace,  strength and knowledge that you lived life at your command.  So many memories we shared and conversations of philosophy. You accepted the greatest challenge of life and that was knowing you were facing death. Know that your showing acceptance of your life's journey was a great source of strength for those around you who watched your progression of ALS.  Your bravery and tenacity to live the best life you could with the time and capabilities you had left, is an example of acceptance that humbles me and makes me proud to call you brother. I will continue to have conversations with you and know you will speak back to me. I will miss you and not forget you. You know my heart and my head. May you be at peace. I love you, Pamela (May)  Viera  YMLYB YW

Dear May family, I am late with this message, but I want you to know that you all have been in my thoughts since the passing of Jefferey.  This brings to me a tremendous sense of loss.  From my point of view, Jeff and I had a special relationship as wrestler, friend and coach.  I remember so many times spent together with him, and without him, there never would have been a team state championship back in 1975.  For Mom, Dad, Pam, Ed, Danny and Khela, please know that I am sharing in your pain and this comes straight from my heart.

In loving memory of a wonderful person and fellow Alumni, Rest in Peace Jeff.

With our most sincere sympathy.  From the Brothers of Marion Dunn Lodge No. 18

I met Jeff when we were freshmen in high school in 1973. We became friends because of our love for wrestling. He was everything you could hope for in a training partner - knowledgeable, skilled, patient, encouraging and dedicated. His friendship and help were a major influence in my life. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

My deepest condolences go out to the entire May family.
