Jeff was born in Calgary, Alberta on July 23, 1981. He had one of the biggest hearts of anybody. Jeff would help everyone he could. It didn’t matter if he knew you or was just driving by and spotted someone in need. He was our mechanic, tech guru, electrician (although he hated doing that), and all around go-to guy. If we needed him, he was there. He was a rock and pillar of strength to all his friends and family. Jeff tried to be everything to everyone. His passing has left a huge hole in the lives of everyone who knew him.
Jeff will never be forgotten. He lives in the hearts of the many people who knew him and loved him.
