“Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. Mourn them do not. Miss them do not. Attachment leads to jealously. The shadow of greed, that is.” – Yoda
Life story
Jeff loved his family! He loved Christmas and silly jokes. Loved colorful socks and clothes. He gave the tightest longest hugs! He loved playing with the nieces & nephews. Loved Star Wars and Nerds. Smart and such a bright penny growing up. He read voraciously. We loved his laugh and his courage.
