My brother Jeff


My brother Jeff passed away on Monday September 28th. He was 36 years old.


We're planning a memorial here locally on the Space Coast, most likely Sunday October the 11th, around 1pm in the afternoon. I'll post details in the next few days.

    I'll try to make it brother. I'll know next week.

    I should be able to find more photos when I get to the folk's house, hopefully Thurs or Fri. It all depends on work. Poppa Hand was\is a mad camera-man. Have shelves of pictures from way back.

  2. Craig, I am SO SORRY for your loss, everyone's loss. Jeff will be remembered as a terrific friend, a jokester, a shoulder to lean on and an all around wonderful person. I can't imagine what you and your family are going through right now. Jeff is missed by so many people. He has touched so many hearts, in so many ways. It is difficult to come to the realization he is no longer with us. Yet memories will never fade. All the good times, all the laughs. He was one of a kind and he will be missed in ways words can’t describe. Christine

  4. We were shocked by the news and hope you and your family are doing well during this difficult time. Jeff will certainly be missed. We are happy to hear that something is in the works for a memorial so friends and family can remember him together. I'll keep Dennis in the loop (he isn't online much - LOL).

    Take care,

  6. I met Jeff the first day we worked at Premier. We were friends from that day on. He and I hung out a lot and made lots of memories, up until several years ago when we lost touch. I have great memories from hanging out at the house to being out and about. He always watched out for me and was an amazing friend. I will treasure those memories forever. I have his Skins jersey he gave me somewhere, I'm trying to find it. God bless his family and all of his friends. You will always hold a special place in my heart Jeff.. Love, Dana Raines Webb

  7. I knew Jeff in high school & we'd kept in touch on & off over the years. When I found him on Facebook we chatted it up as if time had not passed. His sense of humor & love for laughter brightened everyone's life. He will be sorely missed. My heart goes out to his family during this time.

  8. I am a friend of Tommy Bartkowski's.
    I don't know you and your family- but I am sor sorry for your loss.

    I lost my brother, David, when he was the same age.
    I cannot know your hurt, but I know my own.
    God bless you all.
    And you are blessed to have Tommy as a friend.

    He is golden to me.

    May your memories bring you consolation.

    Much love and grace to you all.
