| Jeff grew up doing what all boys did. He loved to ride his bike, so it was only natural that he went into BMX bike racing. He loved riding wildly around the tracks and over the bumps. In his older years, he would mistakenly do this with cars, but not on a track but where ever he felt like doing it. So goes the story of how many cars he went through, and how many tickets he received and really how much trouble he could get in.Oh, how he loved excitement, not wanting to grow up but to stay forever young, to party and be with his friends, to make new friends and to be the best friend he could be to many. He had a heart of gold and, how he loved everyone.He loved his children with his whole heart, and told them to always do there very best at whatever they did, and to live by the rules. The following is the true description of what has happened to Jeff and just where he is now, and that God loves us all! Where you go you cannot go too farThat His eyes of mercy cannot see where you areHe loves you too much to leave you alone,You are flesh of His flesh and bone of His boneYet, His heart cries for your heart today.See yourself through His eyes and you will say,'Sin has stolen my dignity and all my self-esteem.'But, I am made brand new again, when mercy looked at me.Beautiful! That is how mercy saw me.Though, I was broken and so lost,Mercy looked past all my faults.Justice of God saw what I had done,Mercy saw me through The Son;Not what I was but what I could be,That is how mercy saw me.My son is with God. I rejoice in that knowledge. I miss him everyday, but I know he is always with me. I also know I will see him again. |

What a beautiful present from God. Born 2 weeks late and came in screaming, he was wrapped in aluminum foil blanket to keep warm.
|
Porky and Motorcycle. His nickname later would be "Porky" and anything with a motor could get him into trouble.
|
Was that mouthwash or what? He loved his Budweiser and Beam. Don't really think this was an early start.
|
BMX racing was his love when he was young. We would go all over the state to race. I really felt that he could have done better but I think he was afraid he would get hurt. He loved to race.
|
When we were at Disney World, we thought about leaving Jeff at the Kennel Club, but I decided he was trained enough to be in the park. We had a great time. Now it will be my pleasure to take his kids for their first time. I know Jeff will be with us.
|
When we were in Florida we often went to the beaches. Jeff loved his Grandpa and Grandma, Erwin and Annabell Rhoda. His Grandpa (Dad) preceded Jeff in death. I know he still has his arm around Jeff and loves him as much now as ever.
|
Jeff's true loves, Tyler Ann, Casey Neal and his dog, Holly. He has left them all here for me to guide and take care of. I only hope I can do what he would have wanted for them.
|
This was his last Thanksgiving. He always enjoyed tasting
|
This was Jeff's last Christmas. He loved his grandma, missed his grandfather and loved all of us with his whole heart. I'm so glad he had a chance to tell all of his family members just that. He did love us.
|
Jeff's friends and mother that had to say good bye to soon. We will always have Jeff in our hearts. Remember the good person he was, how he loved life and all of his family and friends. Good bye Jeff. I love will love you forever, your mother.
