Jeff enriched my life with his happy spirit and genuine love for his friends, which seemed to be everyone. I would look forward each morning to seeing him at Starbucks where my day began on a happier note because of his smile. Jeff WILL be missed and it was my good fortune to know him.
Jeff was the best reason for going to Starbucks. Yes. Better than the coffee. Prayers for the family.

Jeff, no one on gods green earth could ever compare to the man that you were. You were not just a co worker, but you truly were my friend. If either of us were having a bad day we were making each other smile. I wish I were there to pay my respects but unfortunately I cannot beand it breaks my heart. Deebo you are no longer suffering and are flying free. Take care of my sister up in heaven as you have taken care of me down here. One love my friend. Gone but never forgotten. Patrice if there is anything you need a shoulder to cry on or a person to scream at I am only a phone call away. Until we meet again Belley belle
I first met Jeff in 2006 while working at the HP Starbucks. His straight forward approach to living and being were an inspiration. I'd often go back and visit and watched in amazement as he would greet each person by name or what type of coffee they would drink. When he was working, it was his show. He would dance, he would sing, whatever it took to make someone's day. Brother, I will miss the sound of your laugh and your amazing spirit. Truly, one of kind. One Love - Thad H.
Jeffrey, you are truly going to be miss. You fought a good fight. Now God welcome you in. Jeffrey,your baby boy is smiling now,he has his twin with him. Now you'll the angels watching over Vonda & Angel the two phenomenal women that love you'll. Rest on Jeff.β€β€
Jeff, you'll be missed but never forgotten. I think back on how we watched our kids grow up from babies to adults. Only wanting to be the best that we could be as parents and hoping that our kids would become better than us. Well you were an awesome Dad (grand dad βΊ) and person, and set a high bar to reach. I'll always remember those deep conversations about life and who we are. I'm glad that I was able to see you Sunday and hug you one last time. Your brother from another mother. LOL. One Love. Peace - Jeff
I love u Jeffrey!!!! My heart is so broken πππ...I never imagined that u would ever leave me. U were so much more than just my brother, u were the best friend a sister could have. Our relationship was strong πͺπΎ and we never left each other's presence without saying I love u. πππ We shared a bond that was unbreakable. We had our own special language at times that translated our love β€οΈ for each other. We would laugh and refer to each as boy or girl. I'm so lost right now...ππππ I asked God not to let u suffer when I saw u struggling to hang on...πππ My heart was not ready to let u go, but God's will for your life had come to completion. πππ I'm so thankful we FaceTime and said I love u on Monday...u were trying to tell me and I could feel it in my heart. β€οΈ I love u boy and I'm gonna miss u. Love always, your favorite sister Valerie...ππππ
Jeff, I was shocked to hear of your passing. I really thought after your visit to Starbucks you'd make it through your fight with cancer. I'm so glad I got to see you a few weeks ago. Thank you for the time I was able to talk to you at work even though it was short. Like many have mentioned already, you were always putting a smile on others faces and making others laugh. To the family, saying I'm sorry doesn't take your pain away. I know because I just recently lost my mother earlier this year. I know how hard this journey is. It is not easy and it is a long road. Just know that each person grieves differently and it takes time to heal, but you will never fully heal or "get over" your loss of your beloved Jeff. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Jeff..... I love you so very much sir. I am deeply saddened to know you aren't here with us anymore. You are a true matriarch of a man. I am so fortunate to have known you as long as I have, I thank you for taking part in the woman I am today. Jeff, there was never a dull moment with you. You where always full of love and laughter and you always talked about how much you love your grand babies lol. You will truly be missed my friend. I think about all of the times you talked about traveling to a secluded island in Jamaica, fishing and sipping coconut milk. I pray as your soul travels that you get to experience that piece of your Heaven. Rest well Jeff, you fought a good fight. May Jah bless your beautiful wife, loving children, grand babies, and everyone whose life you had an impact on. Long Live Jeff (aka Bob Marley)β€οΈ Forever in our hearts.

Jeff, you were a light in so many people's lives. You always called me little sister and I always knew that I could count on you to share bits of wisdom or just make me laugh when I needed it. I'm so thankful I met you so many years ago and thankful for all of the time I got to spend with you at my time at Starbucks. We truly were family. I love you forever, Big Brother. One love.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
