I always admired Jeff, not once did I hear him complain or be bitter because he couldn't do the things he once could. The day before he passed, Donna told me that Jeff had said when he leaves here he's going to go take care of Garrett. I can't think of a kinder soul than Jeff to look after my baby. Garrett loved his pappa Jeff, and so did I. Posted by Carrie Scott - Centerville, IA December 19, 2012
I have known Jeff all his life. He was more like a brother to me then a friend. There is so many wonderful memories that I will treasure. Over the years I have helped care for Jeff however, he was the one that was always there for me and my family. With all the courage that Jeff had he never gave up on having an exciting full life and for that he will always be my hero. I will miss sharing my day to day life with him. I will miss my best friend, my brother, my hero more then words can explain. I no I will see him again. Love Red Posted by Randy (RED) Thomas - Centerville, IA - Best Friend December 19, 2012
My condolences to the family. Jeff and I didn't run in the same circles in high school, but I was very sad to hear of his accident, and I always tried to say hello when I saw him in the grocery store even though he may not have actually known who I was. He always seemed to be in a good mood despite the chair, and I know he will be missed. Posted by Winona Lawson Whitaker - Centerville, IA - former classmate December 19, 2012

I will never meet another person who was anything like my Dad. Regardless of his setbacks, he never complained. He always had a smile on his face...and a joke on your lips. You couldn't be depressed and be around Dad, he would have you laughing before you could even finish telling him what was bothering you. My father taught me to be thankful for what I had and to never complain about having to go to work (he would say I would give anything to get up out of this wheelchair and go to work everyday), he was determined to be the best father, husband, and friend a person could be. Regardless of his handicaps he taught me how to do back bends, change a starter and alternator in a car and always always turn your head the other direction when throwing up so you don't drown. The memories that I have of my father will be forever treasured....every laugh, every smile, every joke, and ever single I love you. There won't be a day that goes by that I won't miss him. Forever and always, Daddy's girl. Posted by Tabatha Unruh - Unionville, MO - Daughter December 16, 2012
I knew Jeff because of my friendship with Pam. The few times over these past 10 years that we were at the same place at the same time - birthday parties, salebarn lunches, etc. - I found Jeff to be a very nice and caring man. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him and loved him. My hugs to all family members. Posted by Tammy Laehn - Reasnor, IA December 16, 2012
As I set here wondering what im going to write I realize that I have so many wonderful memories that I could write a book and I know that no one wants to set and read one at this time. So I am just going to say that Jeff was a stronge, brave, loveing man and I am glad to say that he was my uncle. He wasnt handicaped he was just lazy. I wish he could of staied with us longer and watched his grandkids, and great nieces, and nephews grow but it wouldnt be fair for us to ask him to stay. I hope that when he slowed down long enough to give grandma a hug and a kiss that he gave her an extra one from all of us. He will always be loved and missed.
