I did not know Jeff personally, but my son, Chris (a/k/a Paco), and many of his friends did and are devastated and heartbroken over his passing.
I would like to extend my sincere condolences to Jeff's family and friends.
I pray that all of you will celebrate the good times that you shared with Jeff and that you will keep his spirit alive amongst you so that you may share it with his little girl, Neveah, as she grows up and asks about her daddy.
Also, I pray that God is with you during this difficult time and helps to bring some peace into your hearts.
God Bless You
