Hamburg, AR Thursday, December 3, 2015 What a shock to hear of Jeff's passing! We first met Jeff when he was a police officer in Hamburg. We worked the accident he and his family were involved in on the old Crossett highway. We lost contact with him after he left Hamburg, but were recently reconnected with him thru being members of the same hunting camp in Hamburg. May we offer our sincerest condolences to your family at this time of loss. May God keep you and hold you close always.DIANE SIDES

Monticello, AR Thursday, December 3, 2015 My deepest sympathy to Kim and his family. I worked with Jeff for many years at the Monticello Police Department and got to know what a wonderful fun person he was. We lost touch for many years, but thru Face Book were able to reconnect several years ago and for that I am grateful. He was still the same old fun loving Jeff I remembered. Always something nice to say and through in a little fun sarcastic remark just to remind you that you were talking to Jeff. The only comfort any of us can take from this sudden tragedy is the knowing that Jeff is now spending time with people he loved that went before him. Especially his mother and his baby girl he never got to know. Imagine the reunion in Heaven taking place about now. I will not be able to attend the visitation or funeral, but please know that my thoughts are with all of you. God Bless You All and may He give you all comfort, peace and understanding.Tina

Malvern, AR Wednesday, December 2, 2015 To Kimberly, and Jeff's entire family, I cannot even explain the pain in my heart when I read of Jeff's death. I don't know you, Kimberly, but I know his siblings, but having lost my own husband suddenly several years ago, my heart hurts for you. He went to school with my daughter and they dated off and on, so I knew him for many years. He was such a fun person to be around, but with a seriousness as well. And, he was awesome when playing trumpet with the Monticello band. I know there are no words to ease your pain, only the assurance that he is with the Lord, and you will be with him again at the Lord's chosen time. You are all in my prayers.Tanya Mackey
Carlisle, AR Wednesday, December 2, 2015 Jeff I will miss you dearly. I love you and Kim so much. You will always be on my mind and in my prayers.
