Jeffery is predeceased by his father Terry. He is survived by his wife Amy, his mother Jan, his step-mom Melanie, his sister Chris. (With special respects to predeceased Grammy Helen, Cal and Yotam. With special respects to surviving mother-in-law Jane, Auntie Patti, and Dave.) Along with the many, many family members and friends who grieve the loss of such a loving, compassionate, brave and loyal man. We all thank him for being in our lives - fore he taught us so much about love. He spoke out in times of his own suffering to put "peace before being right," and about family and love. Jeff wasn't always listened to, yet everyone could learn something from his example of a courageous human being who, despite his own pain, thought of his loved ones and just wanted everyone in his life to "get along" and love each other, laugh and be happy.

He fought for his life, all of his life, not just for himself, but to be there for everyone he loved.

Go with God Jeff...God is Love.
