I never met Jeff but have known Robbin for many years; all through school. It breaks my heart to learn of Jeff's passing and will keep him, Robbin and his family & friends (especially his little son) in my prayers. May God Bless you all with strength, peace and the comfort during this tragic time.

Dear Damion even though you don't know me I know you and knew your father well.Jeff and I had became good friends over the last few years.Jeff was a good person,and had a good heart. He was the kind of guy that would render a helping hand, anytime you needed him he was there.Even though he was misunderstood by some people,anyone that was fortunate enough to know him well would tell you how great of a person he really was.It saddens me that you will miss out on all those special father son moments.Hopefully though in the future one day you and your son will be able to share those special moments together.

I never knew Jeff but have the pleasure of knowing his son Damion through the daycare he attends. My prayers and thoughts go out to each and every family member. My heart is really saddened for Damion having to grow up without his father to share all those special moments with. My heart also goes out to Heather who will have to keep Jeff's memorie alive for their son. May God give her the strenght to cope with each day and to be able to explain to Damion when he gets older and start asking questions about his father's short life here on earth. May God bless you all until that wonderful day you all can be with him again.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Jeff's passing. I've worked with him since he first came to the shop.
I've watched him mature from a shy teenager into the Guardsman, Mason & father he became. He was especially proud of being Damien's dad!
Let us all cherish this young man's memory.
My condolences to the family.

Jeff was a friend for almost six years and we helped each other through the roughest times of our lives. I remember telling him once that we would be 80 years old and still friends, sitting on each other's porch in our rocking chairs, talking about life.
