I have tried to find the words but they fail me now.  You were there for me at a very trying point in my life and you have always been someone I knew was there for me whenever I needed you.  I miss your smile, your energy, your enthusiasm, your love.  Not a day goes by that I don't shed a few tears when I am slapped with the reality that you are no longer with us on this earth.  It will never be the same.  I love you and I miss you.  I will never forget you.  I will keep in touch with Mammacamp, my heart breaks for her.  See you on the other side my friend.

Jeff and I go back to the late 1980’s in San Antonio. My family returned from a ~7 year stay at Clark AB in the Philippines. My father retired from the USAF and we moved back to our home in Lakeside. When we left for the Philippines in 1982 it was an American middle class paradise. Every ethnicity, every religion, the panorama of the true United States was represented. We all would hang at the pool in the summer, play b-ball at each other’s house, play football in the street and in the bigger back yards, it was the perfect way to grow up. When we returned in late 1988 Reaganomics had hit. Iran-Contra’s cocaine and crack infusion had caused White Flight to La Vernia; the neighborhood slowly became less integrated, and when we moved back it was now called “The Jungle.” This is when I met Jeff. He was running with the neighborhood knuckleheads. I won’t say what they were involved in but it was not good. I came back to the States a b-boy, changed and unsullied by the trappings of mundane America. I saw Jeff and a couple of other younger kids as smart people, with a lot of potential. I tried my best to keep them out of trouble. It was hard. The pressure to be street was strong. His grandparents use to yell at me when I’d hurriedly drop him off, ”You’re too old to be hanging out with Jeff!” If they only knew that he needed a strong young male role model who he could see as cool but with a good head on his shoulders. Not that I was that, but I tried. Jeff was a computer whiz and I knew he could be that one young cat who might transcend the prison industrial complex’s machinations. He did and he just kept rolling. None of his friends in Houston knew about me or his other friends in SA. Jeff became a true Houstonite  and even his accent changed, but no matter what every time he visited SA, without fail he’d reconnect. I invited him to my wedding in 2007. He drove like a mad man to get to SA in the rain and had a bad wreck, but still made it. I will miss my baby bro.

Jeff's grandparents and Jeff's mom were our life long neighbors.  We watched him grow  day by day.  He was the pride of his mom and his grand parents.  We miss them all. Now that Jeff is with them again we know they are rejoicing in heaven.  
Carol you have our deepest sympathies and love.
Don and Julia and family.

Dearest Jeff, you will always have a piece of my heart. So thankful for the sweet memories with you and your family.  I was so blessed to have known you. See you again one day. ❤️

We were sadden to hear the sudden passing of your son, Jeff.  His laughter & warmth will be truly missed but not forgotten.   With deepest sympathy, 
Mama Hartman & Pops
(that is what he use to call us)

Jeff was a true asset to the team and he will be greatly missed.  It was a real pleasure to have him in the office and I'm sure he'd be a great guy to watch an Astros game with.  He was loved across the company and I can tell we all miss the joy he brought to the office everyday.   

My brother.  Just glad I got to be a part of your life, and truly honored that you were a huge part of mine.  I already miss you more than words can impart, and look forward to seeing you one day again.  You definitely left your mark on this world, and the number of lives you impacted is staggering.  I will keep Mama, Hoover, and Anthony close.  Rest easy.   Love you forever, brother.  

His hearty laugh, warm smile and hugs to anyone and everyone will be missed. My prayers to your Mom and family that they will find the strength to continue keeping your memories alive. We will miss you Jeff!! Until we meet again!

Jeffroy, my best friend and my brother... I find myself at a loss and broken..  I will always love you..  I will see you on the other side someday..  miss you...



I am devastated. The thought that I will never hear that booming laugh or mischievous snicker again is unimaginable. We were supposed to go to Vegas one of these days. We were supposed to meet for an Astros game. We were supposed to go to your Halloween party. So many memories that we didn't get the chance to make. It's not fair that your life ended so soon, but I am so glad that you lived the hell out of it, and I am so blessed that I got to be a small part of it. Rest sweetly my friend, "may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest." 

Jeff was a wonderful neighbor and friend. We will miss his funny sense of humor and our sidewalk conversations.  His presence is greatly missed.  Peace and prayers to Carol, Hoover and Jeff's family.

R.I.P., Jeff.

From one fan to another...

GO ASTROS!!!

Working with Jeff was never a dull moment. He had SPIRIT and pride and a laugh that was infectious. I will never forget his smile. Peace be with him, his friends and family. 

Jeff was an honorary member of my family at his request for the great time we had at an Astros ballgame a few years ago.  We will always remember him and his bubbling character,may God forgive him for his sins and have Mercy on him and enter him into Paradise...PEACE TO YOU JEFF and Family.

Jeff was great to work with. He was always looking to solve Problems and was always full of Energy.
He talked a lot about his recent vacation to DC and the great Museums he visited.
We will miss him !

Jeff was always a warm and welcoming man.  He loved his mother Carol and his dog Hoover.  He was a great trivia player and really knew sports.  Will miss you Jeff. Rest easy.


Jeff truly loved life and carped the heck out of the diem.  Every picture I have seen of him bears his big, beautiful smile, reflective of his even bigger heart.  

There is a void now  among all who loved him that can never be filled.  I will deeply miss our almost 20 years of conversations.

We can all be consoled by the fact that Jeff's spark was just too bright to fade.  It will live on in all of us.

Wife wanted surprise me with a birthday pig roast at home , Jeff volunteered roast himself, though he had a flight out within minutes the pig be finished, in the rain!  Dressed, cracked, hauled, set up tent (rain remember). Still blows me away! Just one of many stories make me call him a brother much more than a friend. In gods hands i pray your willing soul brother. Amen
