"After having taught Jeff, he left me knowing that he was a very smart boy who loved his friends and family very much. He would do anything to help someone. I remember how excited he was to treat his class to a box of cookies. He liked to make people happy. So kind! He was so easy to love! He shall remain in my memories forever!"

"My heart and prayers will be with all of you. Jeff was a great student to have in class. He had such a kind heart and was so helpful and pleasant to have around. I will always remember his bright spirit and loved his perpetual half grin. He had so much potential. His death is a great loss to our community as well as all of you-his family. May God hold you all in the palm of His hand."
