Dad I forever thank you for all you've taught me and all that you've done for me. I will always miss and love you, you taught me I can do whatever I put my mind to. Whether that be working on vehicles from dispers up to being the strong independent woman I've become. You have always been so strong loving caring and would do anything to help anyone in need even if that meant going out of your way to do so. You will be missed and cherished by so many lives you've touched and made a difference in. You were always there no matter what for your family and friends, you were the kind of man who would even help a stranger in need if you could. I will miss your voice smile and everything you mean to me. You are an amazing man who taught your children so much good and strength. I know your in a better happy aplace and always watching over us forever and akways. Someday we will meet again, until then I know you walk beside me each and every day. I love you with all my heart forever and always.

I was Jeff's Science Teacher at Edison Junior High. I will always remember Jeff as though he were still that age. Jeff had an "onery streak" that made him all the more likeable.  He had an outgoing and fun-loving personality, even as a young teen.  By reading other tributes, I can see that Jeff was a good man and a loving father. Condolences to his family and friends.
"Via con Dios", Jeff!

To my cousin Jeff, I will miss you forever, you were always kind to me and always went out of your way to help me with things, ill never forget when you helped me purchase my first car, you made sure it ran well before I bought it. You always had good sound advice and much knowledge about many different things. You will truly be missed, your cousin - Marcus

we will miss him. he was a dear friend and we will always love him.

May you rest in peace Jeff.My sympathy to your family!

I worked with Jeff and his mom, Carolyn, at Cat. Jeff aways had a smile on his face and willing to help anyone. My deepest condolences to his wife and children. Carolyn, as a mother, I can't imagine the pain you are feeling. You will always be in my prayers.

May your soul rest well, my beloved brother. Your tragic death has left a big hole. But I'll try not to fret; you are now a free soul. I LOVE YOU BROTHER.

Jeff and Tyler came to my rescue this summer when I had to move my household in case of flooding. I got off work and they were loaded and ready to move me back home. Jeff was always there to lend a hand all the years I have known him no matter what.  Give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. My niece and nephew are going through what no one should ever have to . Always they will wonder WHY. We have no answer but can only keep happy times and memories and lessons learned close in our hearts and minds. I hope you found the peace you need Jeff. You are loved and you will be missed. Shawna and Tyler, please know your Dad was not alone when he passed. Angels were there to help him through to the light. Rest easy now Jeff, your troubles are behind you and glory is yours forever.

I knew Jeff through Kari and also worked with him at CAT. He was a good guy. I'm very sad to hear of his passing. I will continue to pray for his family.
