Jeff enjoyed long distance running in his younger years, art, spelunking, hiking, raising Japanese maple trees, traveling, bee keeping, wood working, gold mining, music, family vacations, and making others laugh.

Jeff was an amazing husband, father, PopPop, and a friend to many. He had an overwhelming urge to help others in need. He will be loved and celebrated for years to come. His memory will live on in our hearts forever.
