My heart goes out to his parents. It has to be the hardest loss to endure.
I worked with Jeff for 15 years as well; in fact he was the first person I met from BH. It was in the parking garage. I was new to working downtown and didn't know my way around. I asked him if he knew how to get to BH. He said "I work there; follow me. We just kind of struck up our friendship from there. I have been grateful for his kindness ever since.
Rest in Peace Jeff!
You will be missed! Lit by Joy Abbuehl - Ankeny, IA - Friend May 10, 2018

I will miss Jeff so much, we became great friends over the 16 years we worked together, and stayed close friends after he resigned.
I loved going to Conference's with him, he was fun to hang out with.
I remember 1 time in Charlestion, SC they were having a haunted tour, so Joy, Jeff and myself tried very hard to get in one of those tours.. They were full but we gave it our best shot... Lots of laughs.
Prayers for you Marge and Donald.

I was saddened to have just learned of Jeff's passing. I spent almost 10 years as one of his co- workers and enjoyed his sense of humor, his appreciation for after work cocktails & conversation and his sometimes different - but always educated - view on a whole array of topics. He did his job well and demonstrated real commitment,dedication and loyalty. RIP, Jeff. Lit by Nick Roby - Des Moines, IA - Coworker May 10, 2018
I met Jeff when I started working at BH in 1999. We became friends and our friendship continued even after he left BH. He enjoyed discussing the latest book he was reading, Dr. Who episodes, sharing a recent political button purchase, current events and his knowledge of history made for some interesting conversations. He will be missed by many.
Marge & Don - No words can ease the sorrow for the loss of your son. I hope you find comfort in the fact that Jeff left some wonderful memories with a lot of people.
Like a bird singing in the rain,
let grateful memories survive in time of sorrow.
