I just found out today and I am in total shock to know that such a wonderful guy is no longer amongst us. Jeff was one of the good ones sweet, helpful and a pleasure to be around. I worked with him briefly, and only a couple of months ago reached out to him to pick his brain even after not seeing him in a few years. I can't believe he is gone.
To the family, please accept my deepest Sympathies.
Jeffrey Fly High my friend.

Jeff always showed up with a smile and positivity. He knew how to enjoy the workplace with jokes and laughs. His absence is felt. He will be missed but not forgotten. May time bring peace to the family.

Jeff was a remarkable man whose warmth and kindness touched everyone fortunate enough to know him. As colleagues at AT&T´s NorthMAC in Richardson, Robert and I had the privilege of working alongside Jeff, they were my mentors when I started in 2001. Jeff´s expertise was unmatched, but it was his genuine care and patience that made him an exceptional trainer and coworker.

Beyond the workplace, Jeff was a cherished friend. We shared countless lunches, dinners, and memories that deepened our bond. Our families grew close, sharing precious moments babysitting Stacey and Devon, watching them grow under his loving care. We remember the joy and excitement when Jeff married Ana, his soulmate and forever love. His gentle giant presence, paired with a heart of gold, touched everyone around him. Always ready to lend a hand, his intelligence, wisdom and kindness left a lasting impression in our lives.

Jeff was a devoted family man, a steadfast friend, and an inspiring coworker. His legacy lives on in the love he shared and the lives he touched. Jeff will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.

I was fortunate to be working at AT&T when Jeff was hired to our testing group at the NORTHMAC; we veterans soon realized that this guy was special. He learned quickly, worked hard, and quickly became an asset to the company; everyone liked him. Outside of work he was always quick to help a friend. After work one Saturday, he agreed to help me assess that the repair requirements of the observatory at St Mark's School in Dallas was not economically feasible.

There's not enough that can be said to express how good a person Jeff was. I'm absolutely going to miss this guy and the daily laughs. The joy and great energy he brought to those who came to know and love the man was something to truly appreciate! My sincere condolences to the family and all who shared in the appreciation for Jeff!!

I had the pleasure of working with Jeff and he always moved with integrity and pride. He was very respectful and patient with everyone that we worked with. Jeff never shied away from the hard work or new developments our department faced; he thrived in those spaces. Jeff's kind and gentle sprit will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers for Ana and the family, may the Lord strengthen and keep you all.

I worked with Jeff for years and never once saw him get angry or lose his cool. Caring and supportive to others trying to learn and grow. Just an amazingly kind and caring person. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends as they mourn the passing of such an amazing person.
