This was Jeff's self-written obituary:
I’d like the memory of me
to be a happy one.
I’d like to leave an afterglow
of smiles when day is done.
I’d like to leave an echo
whispering softly down the ways,
of happy times, and laughing times
and bright and sunny days.
I’d like the tears of those who grieve
to dry before the sun
of happy memories I leave behind
when day is done.

I went to Long Lots and Jeff went to Bedford. I never really knew him but say hello. I stopped playing football after 9th grade, and at Staples I couldn't believe the pressure Jeff was under. Lord could he throw that football and I think the pressure put on him by many people was pretty tough. Jeff, if you can read this from above, and I believe you can, your self written obituary is beautiful. Clearly my loss that I never got to know you that well. Your words are lovely and I'm sure those close to you miss you every day. Peace.
