Our sincere condolences to Marcie and Amanda. Lots of prayers your way, for sure. I met Amanda’s dad once, but I know worthy children come from worthy parents. Amanda is a winner all the way around. Again, our prayers and love are with you all. Barb and Mike Barger
Jeff and I worked together, we were always making each other laugh and goofing off. He was a great person and an awesome team mate and friend. I will miss him greatly, work at FedEx will not be the same!
I never knew him too deeply… but we joked around at the work place. He was one of those guys you just enjoy talking to, always cutting jokes and in a good mood. If it strikes an acquaintance this hard, I can’t imagine what the family feels. I’m sure he’ll be missed by a lot of folks here. For the family, praying that God’s grace will be brightest in the valley.
Jeff never had any problems speaking his mind which I hated but respected and more often then not needed to hear but didn’t always listen. And no matter how badly I messed up he assured me he would be there for me.
I am so glad I got to know him. I always looked forward to seeing him at work so we could talk about our favorite shows we watched and sports. Jeff was definitely the big brother I never had and will never forget all the laughs we shared!! I’m really going to miss you.
