Your life light still shines and warms my heart. See how everyone keeps you in their heart, you loving adorable funny friend. Thanks to you i was never lonely. You always checked on my life and helped to lead me to Christ. Thank you for alwsys being there buddy. Thanks for visiting in my dreams from time to time. You look amazingly glorious. Your countenance is so bright, your hair is long n wavy, n you are ministering to souls from the spirit realm, wearing a bright shiney armour. So real i feel your hugs.  I know youre enjoying unimaginable joy being in the presence of Lord, and happy now you are the one kicking demon butt back to their pits. Kisses and hugs.  Ill see you at the great supper of the bride. We'll share some cake. See you soon. Love hugs n kisses.

Sunday afternoon saints lose /tigers lose - it's really about the game. As I was driving home from Baton Rouge yesterday, I thought about Jeff & the post Katrina house& Harvard & all the good moments ❤Especially the first time I met ms sue & we had banana pancakes in a Sunday morning  I love you & know yu are good

It was nice to get an automatic notification this morning that Jeff's parents are thinking of him. We miss him here at Pier 8 Condominiums.

My heart is broken buddy boy. I love more than life itself. I know that you are having a blast with Jesus and the angels. 
Love,mom and dad.

Thinking of the Rodriguez Family at Christmas time. Ron Bimes

Merry Christmas beloved Jeffrey! You're beautiful to cast eyes upon, beautiful in your heart, and so loved by so many. You're in the hands of Jesus now praying with Him for all of us n many others. Your ministry for Jesus exist now in the Heavenly Realms. Forever beautiful. Forever loved. Jeffy Boo!

To the Rodriguez Family:  Last night about 16 people were at our dear neighbor's 91st Birthday Dinner at Mr. Ed's in Bucktown. A former unit owner of Pier 8 Condominiums was there (Correy Andras) and he was shocked to hear about Jeff. Correy sends his warm sympathy to the family. Ron Bimes

Miss you everyday . while i was at the hospital with my mom yesterday she said jen what was that song you and jeff would sing together from the movie country strong. She said she has us on video singing it . i watched it last night. give into me was the song . i asked her what made you think of that ? She said every time i get upset thinking . i might have cancer again she would watched it because it made her feel better . it was a good cry. Love you always

Never had there been a more loved person than Jeffrey. But also a person that deserves recognition for the love, time, extreme patience, but absolute commitment to his daily physical care n heavenly concern is his love and companion, Jennifer Leach. Let the whole world know I witnessed with my own eyes her devotion to his daily life. It takes a strong person to do all she could to go above n beyond to help his life. The Hebrew Torrah says:  He who saves one life, saves the world entire.  I Bella say Jennifer Leach is a saint to know the pain n work involved... But to Jesus he always belonged. Remember your unsung hero, Jennifer, who did her best.  Jesus paid the price of sin. That says it all. Peace I leave you, my peace I give you. Amen.

Dear Suzanne:  Thank you for contacting us with the info.  Several of his friends
here at Pier 8 Condominium Association have sent your parents a floral bouquet.
That is the least we could do.  Jeff, Megan & Jeremy were the life of the party
out here for several years.  We all miss them terribly.  Ron

Hi Ron,

Thank you for your condolences and would love for you to send the picture of Jeff. My email is suzannelynn14@gmail.com. 
I'm his sister and my Mother would like it to be sent to her as well. Suerodriguez1913@gmail.com.

Warm Regards,
Suzanne

I signed the guest book yesterday, and today I found a terrific picture of Jeff
taken on July 18, 2009 at Jeremy Dean's Bachelor Party in our condominium
courtyard.  I would love to send a copy of it to the Rodriguez Family.  Jeff was
a fixture out here at Pier 8 for several years until the sudden deaths of his
beloved, close friends, the Deans.  He took it hard.  Please contact me at
504-485-1235.  Thank you.  Ron Bimes

To the Rodriguez Family:  I, too, just learned of Jeffrey's passing.  He came to
Pier 8 all the time--and loved playing water volleyball in the pool.  We all had
a Bier Garten (beer garden) in the courtyard and blew the breeze away.  I was
at the Dean Wedding at Gallier's Hall, and Jeff was so dapper in his tuxedo--always a good looking guy.  We here at Pier 8 miss Jeremy, Megan, and Jeff.  All three are in Heaven.  It is so unbelievable they are gone.  Sincerely, Michael
Wakefield

I just learned of Jeff's passing today, May 8, 2016.  I remember the many, many times he would come to Pier 8 Condominiums and visit Jeremy & Megyn Dean
and everyone out here.  He loved our courtyard/pool.  I remember him being
Best Man at the Deans' wedding--that was such a swanky event at Gallier's
Hall on St. Charles Avenue.  Rest in Peace dear friend.  Ron Bimes, Pier 8
Condos, New Orleans

Through the Lords mercies we are not condemned, because His compassions never fail.

"Father thank you for hearing my prayer. Now those who stand around may believe that I AM the resurrection n the life, AND THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN ME SHALL NEVER DIE!" King of Kings Jesus. "I went down into the countries underneath the Earth to the people's of the past, but you lifted my life from the pit; O Lord My God!  Thank you Jesus for saving Jeffrey.

... In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.   ROMANS 8:37-39

The Lord watches over you-- the Lord is your shade at your right hand;  the sun will not harm you by day,  nor the moon by night.  The Lord will keep you from all harm--   he will watch over your life;  the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.  PSALM 121     God is Love n Love never dies. As you always called me, Beyah.

It is almost been 3 months. I miss your hugs, your kisses, I miss waking up next to you , seeing you after work. I miss your get rich fast ideas that would probably work!! Valentines Day is near and I don't have my valentine. I love you always

Happy Mardi Gras 2016 sweet sweet boy. You are loved always.

Words cannot express how much Jeff meant to me. He is truly unforgettable. He had the biggest heart ,he was more forgiving than anybody else I know. We loved each other unconditionally. I am totally empty without him. We spent  everyday together and now I don't know how I'm going to spend every day without him. I'm so blessed to have been loved by him and his family. I love you !!!!!

Sorry It's taken me a while to thank everyone for such beautiful messages. I know Jeff is finally at peace, but I'm struggling to imagine life without him. He was dynamic person with such a precious soul. Please pray for my parents, as I can't imagine the pain they are experiencing after losing a child. See you in heaven my sweet brother.

"Do not let your heart troubled. Trust in God trust also in me. In my Fathers house are many rooms; ....I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am...I am the way and the truth and the life. No comes to the Father except through me." JOHN 14        For you Jeffrey. We had many bible studies loving Jesus. I know you are with Him. You are and always will be the best friend I have.

Dear Rodriguez Family,

I am sorry for the loss of your beloved son, Jeffrey. I will always remember him from the brief time he lived in Los Angeles. My family loved having him for Thanksgiving. We all have wonderful and fond memories of Jeff. He was so loving and kind.I know how much he meant Shannon. 

Sincerely,
Scott Bernstein

My lifelong best friend. I will always remember our great times together.  I will see you again in heaven.

Mike and Sue, it is with a heavy heart that I send my prayers for Jeffrey and heartfelt condolences to ya'll and your family. Rest in peace, Jeffrey.

Mr Mike and Mrs Sue, I am very sorry for the lose of your son Jeff. When we me back in the 90's, he became a younger brother to me and will surely will miss him. My thoughts and prays are with you both and your family, that I have come to know and love.

Uncle Mike, Aunt Sue, Chris, Mickey, Zannie
I'm sorry & I love you. I wish I was there. My heart is filled with pain. This is so painful & unreal. We all know how perfect he was.I love my cousin Jeffrey so much. He had the most beautiful soul. Memories keep rushing in from our childhood to adulthood. Most of all I will miss laughing with him. Anyone who met Jeffrey loved him immediately. He absolutely loved being an uncle & was always bragging about his nieces & nephews. I know he is hard at work protecting them as their guardian angel. He will always be in my heart. I will think of him everyday. I could never forget his smile & his laugh.
Love always,
Cousin Shannon

I am so deeply saddened to hear about the loss of Jeff. Your family has been so very heavy on my heart since learning about his passing. I have been praying for you to some how find peace, strenghth and comfort during this heartbreaking time. I know that there are no words that can heal your great loss. I pray that God surrounds and encompasses you with His Heavenly Angels and that you will feel and sense His Love and the presence of the Lord with you. Have faith that you will see his beloved face again.

No words can said to ease the pain and sorrow of losing a child. Remember Jeffrey is basking in the Glory of God and enjoying God's unconditional love. He is at peace.

Dear Mr. Mike, Mrs. Sue and Family, 
May God wrap his warm blanket of love and comfort around you and your family. Jeff was truly special in many ways. Love you,
Kim Smith Browne

Memories of you Jeff Fill my mind,
like thousand of  bright  stars in the sky.
Walter & Linda

Mike and Sue,my prayers and thoughts are you and yours. May the Lord comfort you during this difficult time.

I can't express enough my deepest sympathies during this very difficult time.  Always remember Jeff's dedication to God and His Word, his acceptance of Christ as his Savior and let those memories light your hearts.  2 Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.   Much Love, Marilyn

Sue & Mike, Bill & I are so very sorry to hear of the tragic loss of your beloved son, Jeffrey. Although Bill & I did not know your son, I am sure he was a fine young man.

I am having surgery on Thursday and will be unable to attend the services on Saturday but I am enrolling Jeffrey in Masses through the Cenacle Retreat House.  Sincerely Bill & Johnette Brakel
