Bro. Jeff is only gone from our sight. We are thankful the Lord saved him. Bro. Jeff was growing in the Lord. He loved church more than anyone I know. I sure will miss seeing his little white truck in the parking lot, and hearing that raspy laugh. We will meet again one glad day! Bro Jeff, Sunday we aren’t going to just have a funeral, we are going to have church!
Pastor Matt
Bible Gospel Baptist
A good friend taking with him before church service and after and him setting with me during church service a true friend I will miss talking with him thank you Jeff I will see you again
From the moment Jeff received the Lord Jesus Christ as his Saviour, he had a great testimony and a sincere shout for the Lord. He faithfully attended church and loved to sing in the choir. Those of us at Bible Gospel Baptist Church are very blessed to have had him as both a member and as a brother in Christ. We dearly loved Jeff and we’ll sure miss him. We are praying that God will hold the whole family in His loving arms and bring peace during this sad time.
We will miss brother Jeff we will see brother Jeff again .because he new and believed in the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal savior. I’m praying for the family may God comfort you all.
