As I set here letting the tears flow I think of a song that played on a very long ride to the Des. Moines Hospital in July 1980 Hes not heavy hes my brother I always think of my little brother when I hear it, he was my rock the one who always told me when I had trouble with the girls buckle your seat belt its going to be a hell of a ride. In the last few months Jeff has been the one who buckled up we have talked about his seeing mom & the fact he has been walking when he shuts his eyes , we have been playing in the front yard together running So in my heart I know its now time to let him go hes now in a place where he will stop to give our mom a kiss then Im sure he will be off chasing after his grandkids , its now your time to run little brother so run Love you little brother Posted by Pam Pauley - Centerville, IA - Sister December 15, 2012

First we want to say to the family that we love you all and that you are in our prayers.If any of you need use we will be here for you We are so sorry for your loss. I have not known Jeff but a few years but he was such a big part of my life. When Red and I got married there was a bad storm that came in so my father could not come to take me down the aisle . So I pick the next best thing and he told us he would be honored to. I can't tell you how much that made me feel that he was going to be in our wedding. We will miss him with all of our heart.

It is so hard to yet another young Centerville CHS Clasmate has passed away. Jeff was a son, husband, father, grandpa and uncle. He was disbaled at a young age but whenever you would see him out and about he would smile and joke he did not let being wheeelchair bound stop him and he was one that did not want your pity. He was so strong in raising his children and then shared in his grandchildrens life. He had strong love for his sister and her family and his faith to get him to Heaven to be with his loving mother.We will miss you Jeff and may God grant your family, friends and community the strength to get through this time.
