Jeff is a great soul that our family lost way too soon! We grew up more like brother and sister than cousin! My heart is truly broken for Em and Nathan! I send love and strength to Tim and his family! Most of all my soul is shattered for my live in aunt Julene as I know the pain of having a child pass before you! My children called him Pappa Jeff as he was just that kind of person! Jeff until we meet again cousin, please give my Samantha and Jaxsen big hugs…. the world has lost yet another beautiful soul!
