My condolences to Jeff’s family. Having been gone I just learned of his passing.  I can’t share a story because I have hundreds.  Always funny, with a smile,  he was generous to a fault.  A big heart 
and a big laugh.  Jeff was my brother from another mother and there is a hole in my heart. 

Jeff was my neighbor.  I remember when Dwight and I had a neighborhood swimming party when one of the kids in the pool tipped their floaty over and Jeff jumped in...clothes and all and rescued the child.  4th of July was fun.  Jeff and Yvonne always bought tons of fireworks.  And most recently at my current house Jeff, as well as the other neighbors, enjoyed game night.  We were a fun group!!

Jeff old mate you will be missed! We are forever thankful for having you as a neighbor and friend! Now you can show God how to relax on a Sunday morning by standing at the gate with your robe on, but not covering much, and enjoying your favorite beverage from a coffee cup! Rest In Peace my friend! 

I am so saddened by this.  My deepest sympathy to the family.  I kinda lost touch with Jeff but we were friends. 

Jeff was a uniquely remarkable man who deeply loved his family, appreciated all that life had to offer and freely shared his love and good humor with co-workers and literally thousands of First Tech members who heard his cheery voice and felt his sincere desire to help them in any way he could.  Like many of us,  Jeff faced material challenges with his health and in other facets of his life.  Unlike most, Jeff maintained an incredibly positive outlook and never allowed his personal struggles or challenges to alter his positive interactions with others.  I will always be grateful to Jeff for his good humor, warm heart and genuine concern for others.   He is now free of the husk of his human body and able to more fully love those of us who have been left behind.   My sorrow over Jeff's passing is replaced by the joy of his freedom and a belief in the wonderful life that awaits him.   

CUNA school. That is where I met Jeff, in the early eighties.  He was ahead of us in school. You both connected and over time there was a wedding. I stood by your side when you exchanged vows. And I was with you the day you found out there was going to be a baby.  How old is Dusty now?  Seems like not as long as it has been. Jeff adored you, Yvonne. You made each other so happy. I could see it. Jeff was a terrific guy! I know you are devastated but functioning, that is your strength. We will talk, share, remember. I wish I was there with you again. You are in my thoughts and my prayers. Love you my friend!❤️ 

I’ve known Jeff since I was in high school and I have some great memories of Jeff. 2 of my most recent and favorite memories is dancing with him on the dance floor... but when I say dancing I mean I rolled him out on the dance floor and we got down. I am so happy to have these memories and love that I was to able to share these moments with him at both of his sons weddings. Jeff will be missed and I am sure he is dancing up in heaven and now he can dance without that chair... god bless 

Vonnie and family,
I'm so deeply sorry for your loss. As you know, Jeff and I worked together at The Money Store in the 90's and I was so happy to reunite with him at work again. Jeff was someone you could talk to about anything. Well rounded, fun-loving realist! I will miss our talks in the elevator and the lunch room.  Much love to you all.  JT

Robert Lopez III

My thoughts and prayers go out to Vonnie and their entire family.
I've known Jeff for many years. As far back as when we worked for Golden 1 Credit Union. Jeff had a great personality and was always fun to be around. Even on your worst days, he could always make you laugh. His personality was contagious and anyone who knew him well, had a friend for life.

Jeff was loved by many and will greatly missed. Farewell my friend. 

I worked with Jeff at FT from 2006-2012. He was the first friendly face I encountered and he made me feel so very welcome. He always made me laugh even when I was at my lowest when I was laid off. Even after I left I would ask for him when I phoned the call center. I will  never forget him. I’m so very sorry for your loss. He will truly be missed by a lot of folks. 

Vonnie, my deepest sympathies.  It's so hard to believe, he called me just 3 weeks ago and we laughed and talked about getting together soon!  He willed be sadly missed. Prayers for you and you 2 boys! God bless. 🙏


I worked with Jeff for 7 years while I was at First Tech.  Jeff was a wonderful loving human being and was an amazing coworker.   Always was making me laugh along with his colleagues.   Jeff I hope you are resting in peace my friend.

We have no words to discribe how sorry  we are to hear of Jeff's passing. We worked with Jeff for many years in the Credit Union business and enjoyed his company and became friends. As talking will do, we realized we new his Dad Hollis and his Step mom Rena through the masonic order. Jeff had a delightful sense of humor and we felt blessed to have been friends. We send our love and prayers to his family and hope they will always be able to remember what a wonderful man he was. We will miss him.
