He attended Fairview High School and graduated in 1985. He married Tonya Dunn and to this union a son and daughter were born. Jeff learned some things the hard way and he used those lessons to advise, encourage and give hope to others. He always had a passion for “big trucks”.

Jeff was a member of Rhema Life Church. He enjoyed sports, and gatherings with his family and friends. He was a simple man, who lived with purpose. To be in Jeff’s presence was to know that you were guaranteed to laugh, have fun, smile, learn something you never knew, and most of all you would feel safe and loved.
