Jeff made this world a brighter place, and brought joy and laughter to those fortunate to meet him. He never met a stranger, and his completely genuine heart has surely already captured all those in heaven. There is not a person that crossed his path that was not affected or bettered by their meeting. He was passionate about fishing (especially offshore), Clemson football, playing the drums, and most of all - pouring his heart into his family.
