I am really glad that I have the silly, the stern, and ALL the other memories that I have. Jeff and Brian were both such private people. I always felt special BC he treated me like family too, even after we lost Brian. Someday again…. I will be there in ur spot on the sectional…. Waiting for the look and sigh………. P. S. Jeff I always take my shoes off (even when doing so I get my own socks dirtier lol) give my best friend a Woogie love you both always….. Becky

It is with deep sadness that I heard of Jeff’s passing. I never had the pleasure of knowing him as an adult. Jeff and I were part of the North Platte class of 1977. The young Jeff I knew was kind, thoughtful, and humble. To those he leaves behind, I hope that one day the thought of Jeff will bring a smile to your face before it brings a tear to your eye.

To my oldest childhood friend, may you rest in peace. I’ll cherish all the memories that you and I shared over the years. From the wrestling matches in St, Joe, to the campouts on the river, to the day you stood up with me at my wedding. You’ll forever be a part of my life. I’ll miss you.
