I remember him as a young boy playing in the neighborhood on 19th Avenue.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all!
May God bless you all!!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
To Jeff’s mother and family, you have our deepest condolences. Jeff was such an amazing, funny, kind and caring person. I worked with Jeff at Gaido’s with Brian and Clint for years; we all had many good times while working at Gaido’s. Jeff gave my daughter her first waitress job at Hooters in Galveston; after Hurricane Ike demolished Hooter’s, Jeff hired my daughter at The Spot for the Tiki Bar. I was a regular patron of The Spot during Jeff’s tenured; we would always cut-up and laugh during those precious moments. I would remind and tease him about his long ponytail, great memories. My daughter call me in disbelief about Jeff’s passing; we laughed and reminisced on how much joy Jeff brought into our world. Jeff was a one of a kind, incredible person, and Jeff will be truly missed!
So deeply sorry for your loss. My deepest condolences. May God grant you comfort during this most difficult time.
Vali, sorry for your loss. May the peace of the lord be with you all.
Your cousins, Hilda and Mark. Mark has fond memories of Jeffrey. They
would play and laugh when they were kids, we send our love and prayers.
My deepest condolences. I am so sorry to hear about your son. Praying for you and your family. I can’t even imagine what you are going through. Love always!
Vali
Thinking of you and hoping your memories and your love for Jeffery bring you comfort
My deepest sympathy
