Jeff was such a sweet, loving, kind, and overall good human being. He was Mom’s golden boy child after three girls. I will miss my baby brother. Rest in peace and without pain. Prayers to all who knew and loved him.

Childhood friend from the neighborhood Jackson , Mississippi

I started grade school at Florence Black Elementary in 3rd grade. Jeff & I were in many of the same classes (“Homeroom!”) up through high school. I saw him often around our neighborhood. We were kids of the ‘80’s, free to ride our bikes & just roam with our friends. My memories of Jeff are really good & really special to me. He was always so nice. He never made fun of or was mean to others. And boy was he funny. I specifically remember he would frequently get reprimanded by Ms. Willingham in 6th grade—for his humor & antics. Over the years, my older brother has kept in touch with Jessica. So he always updated me as to how Jeff was doing & what he was up to. The other night, I told my mom that I’ve always felt a connection to Jeff, even if he didn’t know it. I’m sending my condolences to Jessica, Jeff’s wife & daughter and all the rest of the family. I am sad I never let Jeff know how much our childhood connection means to me. With love, Rachel

Friend Justin , Texas

Sincere condolences to the family and anyone who was close to him. He was a dear friend to me that I had the pleasure of meeting while transitioning to Texas. We always stayed in touch even after working together for more than a decade. His fishing stories and endeavors that I had the opportunity to hear and join him in were always a bright experience. He was a pleasure to be around and will be missed beyond words.
