I am so sorry for your family's loss. I came to Bondurant 2 years ago and didn't know very many people. I remember Jeff helped fix something in my classroom on the first day I was at the school. He stayed and talked and was so kind and welcoming. I remember he was one of the first people who made me feel like I had made the right decision in moving. He was so cheerful and hardworking and I will always remember him.

Too young, too soon. Lisa, Amanda, Seth, my very deepest sympathy, sadness, and sorrow for you all, Jeff will be missed. Our families grew up together. Becky, Dwight, Barry, Danny, also my deepest sympathy. We all grew up together. Jeff has been my best friend for over 45yrs, we been threw alot together. Jeff was the coolest dude I have had the pleasure to have known. One of the best times I remember, back in the simple days, the '70s, we would be cruising around, with no where and every where to go, and Jeff always had zztop loaded in the cassette deck, and one of his favorite songs we always cranked up and jammed on was "cheap sunglasses". Jeff, wear them glasses proud buddy, you get the last ride into the sunset my good friend, peace out.
