While I have never met you, as a parent, I am so thankful for you, Jeff. At the East Homecoming game, my 8th grade daughter who attended was at the snack bar picking up food for her and her friends. Of course, her friends did not give her enough money for what was being ordered and she was short. She told me about this nice guy that told her not to worry about it, he picked up the difference. She said she thanked him and asked how she could give him the money back. He told her to not worry about it. That guy was Jeff we learned that Sunday after my daughter saw a picture my son shared with her after learning the sad news of his passing. Jeff, you had been in a number of my son’s classes the last 2 years (2 in particular this year) and he was heartbroken to hear the news that Sunday. He enjoyed his time with you in the classes you shared. And also was thankful to you for taking care of his little sis, not even knowing who she was at the time. In our home, we treat people with kindness, ALWAYS, and it is comforting to know that Jeff shared the same ideal. Thank you, Jeff, for having such a lasting impact on my children’s lives. ❤️

I remember last year I think it was 5th period we had speech together it was my favorite class just because you were in it idc if I had a bad day you made my day so much better and you put the biggest and brightest smile on my face you were really funny, caring, outgoing, nice, cool asf, and smart. You slept a lot during class😭 but when you were awake you were so energetic and fun. I always wanted to ask you for you Snapchat and Instagram but I always forgot to when I was around you and I never got to ask you for it💔 I hated when you weren’t in class because you were the liveliest person in the whole room I was also always super disappointed when you weren’t in class when I thought you weren’t at school I silently😭got excited when you walked in the classroom even if you were late to class. We didn’t know each other on a super personal level like a lot of people did but you still always  said hi to me in the hallways and dapped me up, and even though I didn’t know you too well I wish we could have gotten closer because you were genuinely one of my most favorite people in the whole entire school. You dying really hurt me so so much and a lot of other people too I will forever miss you, you’ll always be loved and remembered there was so many people who cared and loved you so much and I really hope you knew that. I’m praying for you your family and friends and anyone else who needs it, I can’t even come close to believing that you really passed💔💔💔. The ONLY other time someone’s death hurt me as much as yours did was when my dad died the only 2 times I’ve cried so much. I wish I could see and talk to you one more time I will never ever forget you and I will always love you❤️. Heaven really gained the best angel they could ever have Fly high and Rest easy in heaven my angel💕💙 REST IN PEACE MG

Mann Jeff it’s been a year that I’ve known you . It’s crazy don’t feel like a year n within this year of being around you I have always loved that you were always positive and your energy and voice would be thru the roof lol. School don’t even feel the same without you , everything is off 🥺. I’m glad that I got to know you and create a bond with you away from big crowds n stuff . Just Friday me you and ej was walking and we were laughing and joking . This all still seems unreal , Everytime I seen you I asked you were you okay and you told me yes 🥺 this broke my heart Jeff . Fly high gang 💙🕊️

I miss our riddles and vlogs at lunch, I miss seeing you in the hallways, always high-fiving me and randomly interviewing me on random questions. Thank you for always putting a smile on my face and everyone else’s, I didn’t know you too well but when we spent time talking I was always laughing w you, your personality is one in a million. You always made people happier just by your smile and your humor. I am so beyond blessed to have gotten to know you
miss you jeff 💙💙

Your presence is what turned this group from a class into a family. You touched each and every one of our lives. Your ability to check in on every single person was remarkable. We all miss your energy. Rest in peace <3 Miss Hansen

Jeff. You really made such an imprint on my life. You made every class I had with you enjoyable. I thank you for everything you did and all you helped me through. You were the happiest most loving and caring person I knew. It breaks my heart that I won’t get to see your big smile in the halls and hear your humor from the other side of the hall. My prayers go to your family and close friends. I wasn’t very close to you and this wasn’t an easy thing for me to hear, I can’t even imagine their feelings. I’m here for anyone who needs anyone who may need someone to talk to. Reach out. We miss and love you Jeff.💙💙-Kaylee

I ain’t know you too we’ll but when I first saw you you just seemed like a goofball like you had on these house slippers all
The time and u were always recording or just goofin around you seemed like a cool 🤬 dude wish we talked but it’s ight I pray for you mom thru these hard times

# data[].attributes.body
It is so hard to see you go. I had only known you for 2 months but in those 2 months you showed nothing but kindness and enthusiasm. You are easily the most upbeat and positive person I could think of because nobody ever had your energy n nobody will ever be able to replace it because you was one of a kind. I hope your family the best man, you didn’t deserve to go just yet. Class won’t ever be the same n you will never be forgotten

# data[].attributes.body
Walking into class everyday and seeing your seat empty and the quietness of the class brings pain to everyone in the room. Light followed behind you everywhere you went, and you always knew how to make people smile. We will miss you Jeff. LLJ💙🕊️

# data[].attributes.body
Everytime you would come up to me and talk to me, it would be the best moments of my life. You truly were the funniest person ever and the sweetest too. I loved your vibe. Wish u was still here love.

Mann it has been a year now that we known each other it’s crazy bc it seems like it’s been shorter than that . On the bus I always used to look for you and Ej to get o the bus . You always was the life of any situation when everything was dry . Never a dull moment. I’m glad that me and you had to chance to have our own bond . Away from when it was a lot going on and big crowds , I used to ask u every time I seen you if you were okay. Just Friday I asked your if you was good and you told me your were good . You said you were okay🥺 rest east gang 🕊️🤷🏽‍♀️

Jeff, honestly, I barely knew you. Even with that being said, I know that you were the most funniest, energetic, and upbeat kid there was in the whole building. You were always the life of the party and always got everyone in a better mood when you came by. You will be missed dearly.

# data[].attributes.body
Jeff we never really talked but you were in my first period and every time you walked in the room you lit it up. You had the brightest smile and the biggest personality you were such a kind and happy human. I hope you are happy and making everyone els in heaven smile because you sure as hell did down here. I really wish we had more memories to share but just thank you for being a light in a dark place like school thank you for making every first period shine bright thank you Jeff.

Thank you so much Jeff for always being yourself. The second I seen you in class I knew we would get along, no matter what you always had amazing energy and you were always the light of every class. You always made everyone laugh, everyone loved you man. The last time I seen you was on Friday September 23rd, I was in the student section at the football game and I seen you walking, I screamed “Yo Jeff!!” and you turned around and screamed my name back and did a lil dance after. I miss you bro. We were building such a close bond and you treated me like a brother. I appreciate everything you’ve done for me. Thank you Jeff, Rest in Peace my brother🤍

Regardless of not knowing you that well, you always managed to put a smile on my face. You lit up the room every day, both literally and due to your smile, ♡ I wish we could have talked more. Every day I pray for you and your mother at night time and pray to protect you both. You were and truly are an angel who was put on this earth for a reason. You managed to always make everyone feel so welcome, and like they were a part of something just by your friendly ways. I had a couple of classes with you, and I sat right next to you in one. Like I said we didn’t talk much, but when we did, I realized why everyone loved you. You truly were one of those people who you could never hate or even dislike. One of the realest, most supportive, and sweetest people I have ever come across. GBE, as well as anyone who has ever spoken to you or heard from you, can all learn something from you. You lived life to the fullest every day and I will always appreciate your presence. Thank you for always talking to the quiet people, and checking in even if you didn’t know them. I cannot believe you’re gone, and I promise we will always keep you in our hearts. Forever the loudest, and most thoughtful. I’m praying for all those who were close to Jeff. Rest up, you will always live in my heart. ❤️

Jeff, It hasn’t hit me yet that you have departed from us your life was well lived and a lot can be said as to who great of a person you were now as rest in the arms of the lord in the heavens up above it hurts to know that the days won’t be filled with your voice but all of the videos and pictures you have remind us of your outgoing energetic personality the halls feel empty without your presence and this shows how your personality is one that will light up a room and

Letter to your mom: I know the grief is hard to bare and we want you to know we are all in a stage of bereavement as we come to terms with the loss we love you so much your strong and raised a great person I send you my deepest sincere condolonces in regards to your son and my dear friend

# data[].attributes.body
We wasn’t that close but I knew of you. We had a couple of conversations and those were filled with laughter. The school feel empty without your presence. Imma miss you and Aliyah arguing for no reason. Imma miss you running through the hallway yelling for no reason making everyone laugh. We are all hurt that you are no longer here 🥺 RIP JEFF you will be missed we will keep your name alive forever ♥️ LONG LIVE JEFF 4L🕊❤️
