forgiveness. He demonstrated that daily with his contagious smile and big hugs. Jeff had a way of making you feel like the only person in the room and had an innate ability to always see people for who they were on the inside, not judging what was seen on the outside. Jeff was a caregiver to many and fiercely loved his family. His love for Lee was undeniable. Anyone who was around them could see the love they had for each other. In her words, “He made me a better person.” His most favorite time was Saturday nights with Ava and Cale playing board games and eating popcorn and cookies. He loved all the kiddos in his family whether it was a sleepover with the great-nieces and grands or building a big bonfire in the back yard for them all! Jeff’s constant prayer was that every soul finds the love of Jesus. Even though we will selfishly miss him on this earth, we know he is rejoicing on the streets of gold. We will continue his legacy of love and forgiveness here on earth.
