It’s fitting that I met Jeff while working at the Improv Comedy Club in college. He had a great laugh, and we were blessed to hear it often. Wishing your loved ones a quiet mind, and a peaceful heart.
Jeff-I will miss you brother. I have many fond memories of having your friendship through high school and beyond. Thank you for the encouragement you gave me over the past couple of years. I’ll always remember your laugh, your smile and your big heart.
To Mr. & Mrs. Whitaker-I am heart broken over your loss. I pray that God will wrap his arms around you and help you through this difficult time. Jeff loved you very much. If I can be of help to you in any way, at any time I will be there. Sending my love and hugs to you and your family.
Jeff visited our home many times in Richardson during the Berkner/Richland years with friends and our son. He will be missed. My heart and prayers go out to all who knew and loved him. Jeff you are at peace now – rest well sweet friend.
