Gods speed my friend. I know you and Lilly are together again. Rest in peace Jeff.
My God, I was floored to hear this beautiful soul has gone home to the Lord. Jeff would give you the shirt off his back. I love you buddy, forever!!!
Oh man! My heart dropped when I saw Gonce has gone to Jesus already. I have so many, many memories of who I used to call my favorite fool/third son. He had a personality like no other and could always make me laugh, even when I was down. Just his voice would make me smile. Even though we would lost touch for a couple years now and then, we would always reconnect and it would be like no time had passed at all. I really loved Gonce! And I’m gonna always miss him, but I’ll just look forward to hearing that voice and laughing with him when my time comes. 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️
Jeff was a friend of my daughter, Jessica, during high school. I remember Jeff was such a kind soul. He worked at a summer camp I had on my farm for children with autism. The camp was called Building Bridges and Jeff helped the kids build a tree fort and a bridge across a stream. He had the most wonderful sense of humor and I will never forget his smile! I am so sorry for your loss. I hope your memories of Jeff will bring you joy and ease your pain. God bless!

Mr. Bill, Mrs. Joyce and David, I am very saddened by this news. Jeff was a brother to me for many years, not just the ones when you watched me after school. At Philmont, Jeff explained to me in detail how to kiss a girl. We reconnected a couple of times through college and one last time when we both joined Facebook. We had many of good times and I am so saddened.
I am sorry I cannot be there for the service. I would have been if I could.
Aunt Joyce, Uncle Bill and David,
Brenna and I would like to express to you our sincere condolences on the passing of Jeff. I am very sorry to say that I cannot be there for his funeral. I will never forget Jeff and I feel privileged to have know him. I'd like to share a favorite quote of mine:
"When you are sorrowful look again in your heart and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight." Kahlil Gibran
May Jeff's memory dwell in your hearts for eternity. I pray that you find comfort and healing through God's grace.
Love, Michael and Brenna Oles
