May fond memories bring you comfort during this difficult time. What I will always remember most was his smile and his laughter. My heart and prayers go out to the family.
Dear Jeff,
I miss you so much. This was way too soon. I know you are at peace now and are most likely giving God grief. Do me a favor and don’t get His name wrong on purpose like you used to do with any kid you came in contact with just to see their reaction. I love you so much. It’s going to be very difficult without you, you were so important to so many. I know you will be watching over and guiding. I am so blessed to have had a brother like you. I was always so proud of you. Even when we were just kids I remember being proud of you. I was so in awe of you that I even followed your steps into the service. I know I will also follow the steps you have just taken and I am so overwhelmed by my knowledge that I will definitely see you again, I know where you are, and it’s the best comfort I have. I will be seeing you,
Love, Debra
My favorite memories of him was just how funny he was and how loving he was. He was always calling me a different name just to make me laugh and it always made me smile. I know he is up on heaven and calling god a different name and making him laugh too. I will always remember my uncle Jeff as the man who made others smile and loved being around him. He had a huge heart and loved his family most of all. You will be so missed. I can’t wait to see you again. 💋
