Once settling in Emigrant Jeff and his friend Ryan Elvrom owned and operated Odin Masonry. In 2007 Jeff met his girl, Krys "E". They began dating on Cinco de Mayo in 2008 and have considered each other husband and wife ever since. Jeff lived his life to the fullest and encouraged everyone else to do the same. He was the backbone to those who knew him. He was the pick you up guy, the you can do it guy. He lived his life to excel and was proud of what he had accomplished, as a "King" would be. He loved his toys, Harley, his Razor, his raft, his Corvette. He loved the time spent enjoying his toys with family and friends. Anything adventurous. He was a hard worker, not afraid to make his own fortune. He had refinished his uncles 1975 Corvette with the help of many his friends. The Vette has the custom plates, "UNCLE". He was a stand up role model for his nieces and nephew whom he loved so very much. He was the best uncle you could ask for, "EVER"! He loved his "Doberwoman", Raven, whom he was the best doggie daddy to, "EVER"! Missed does not begin to explain what his presence being gone will mean to those who knew and loved Jeff.
