My heart is aching and not just for me but for who Jeff left behind. When Jeff was out at our home last year all he could talk about was his kids and grandkids. Every time we spoke on the phone or even text it was all about the love he had for them. Jeff was full of life and you never walked away not having a great interaction with him.
Jeff was my best friend and we considered ourselves brothers because we were always there for each other in great times and bad. We were family and just like family we always told each other “I love you”. I am grateful for that because we always knew how we felt about each other.
When times were tough we knew how to make each other laugh. I will miss that laughter.
No matter what your beliefs may be you can rest assured that wherever he is he is making someone smile.
Be at peace with your life my friend, my brother. I love you. You will be missed.
Jeff and myself James Truckenbrod were basically step brothers, i really dont have many words to say besides this hits me hard, i was with Jeff not to long ago and i really just cant believe this, i am deeply saddened by this loss.
My heart is broke losing my longest friend, many childhood days watching cartoons eating cereal on the couch! So much more so for his children and grand-children, they were is whole heart! I just can’t believe he’s gone, I just always knew he was “out there” my Milk bone, many miles between us over the years but always connected, never missing a beat when we talked!! I pray everyone can have comfort in their memories and knowing he is resting in peace now! Jeff will always have a very special place in my heart!
CommentJeff was one of my students that always had a place in my heart. Jeff and I had many heartfelt talks when he would visit my office. * Sending prayers and hugs for the family. Jeff will be remembered by me for that mischievous smile of his.
Praying for comfort and peace to Jeff’s family during this time! He will be missed.
My heart is very heavy finding out about Jeff. We became friends as soon as he moved to PawPaw because my mom, Jeff’s mom and Carla’s mom were good friends. I have many memories of Jeff. My heart hurts for his son and daughter and his grandchildren! Jeff left us way too soon. I am sending many hugs and prayers to his family! Jeff I will miss seeing you at get togethers with you daughter and my daughter and daughter in law. Rest is peace till we meet again my friend.
