Jeff touched the lives of everyone who had met him. He will always be remembered as a genuine, honest man who had a passion for life, friends and family. He was a true friend to all, who was always seen laughing and smiling. He was truly a selfless person that would give any and everything he had to help a friend in need. He loved his job and the opportunity to mentor and share his knowledge, but also loved learning from others. He was an incredible father and true role model to not only his children, but also to those who knew him. Jeff loved his jeep and was a proud member of several of the local jeep clubs. He enjoyed setting up and participating in charitable and other community events, such as Jeeps-Ronald McDonald Suds Run, Breast Cancer Awareness Run, he also participated in the rescue and recovery efforts in Wimberly, Texas, and locally he helped with rescuing animals trapped during the floods here in Brazoria County last summer. Jeff loved Spring and Summer, as this is the time to enjoy the beach and jeep adventures or days out on the boat with the kids and their friends. Then as fall and winter came, it was time to clean up the boat and get ready for spending time with the family at the deer lease. He knew how to enjoy and appreciate the little things, whether it was listening to music too loud with the top off the jeep, or just hanging out on the river with his best friend Jay and his family. Although Jeff left us to soon, we know that he will forever be in our hearts and our memories, and missed by many.
