My dear Jeffrey, It is 17 weeks today since you left me and miss you more everyday. I still hurt so badly Jeffrey. I just want you to come home and see me. I want to sit and talk with you. I need to hear the sound of your voice and your laugh. Please Jeffrey won’t you please come home. I will do anything my son just don’t go, don’t leave me. I love you and I need you to be with me. Your mom and Chad are waiting for you too. We all miss you so much. Copper is still looks for you every night. He knows you have school but he doesn’t understand why you won’t come home. I have been praying every day and night so maybe if you ask Jesus he will let you come see us. I need you to come home Jeffrey. Even if it is for a brief moment please come see me. I’ll be here waiting for you my son.

To my dear son Jeff,
Jeff I love you more than my life it’s self. If God would let me I would do anything to change places with you. I pray to our Lord God every day that you can still hear these words.
I am so very proud to call you my son. You will always be my son, my hero, my co-worker and my best friend. I’ll never forget what made you so very special to me.
It wasn’t the way you stuck it out through football, when you showed everyone just how committed and tough you were.
It wasn’t because you could humble yourself and go to a Senior Dance without a date.
It’s wasn’t because of the enormous amount of hours you worked by my side when everyone else called it a day and went home.
It wasn’t because of the nights you and I slept on cots at work so we could prove our worth to larger corporations.
It wasn’t because of the way you re-designed and mastered one of the largest 5 axis mills in the U.S. by the ripe old age of 20.
It wasn’t because of all the hours you spent studying and going to collage.
These are all great accomplishments that would have made any young man Proud. But not you son, you always stayed so humble. You always showed so much respect and compassion for me and all others less capable and less fortunate than yourself. You always made time and listened to other people’s problems, including mine. You truly cared for all of Gods people and that’s what made you so very special.
I love and miss you so very much Jeffrey. My sole burns with pain as I try to go through another day with out you by my side. My life on earth will never be complete again without you my son. I don’t know how long it will be before I will get to see you again but please meet me at the gates of Heaven when my time comes. I just want to hear your voice and hug you for ever and ever. Love Always, Yor Dad

tangerines from Grandpa's trees ...
Later as you grw older, you helped me guiding me with my pc problems and supplies ...Always smiling ,always helpful always My Jeffrey and when my time comes ,I hope you'll be there giving me a hand ,and guiding me to be part of the souls glorifying God as you are right now .Bye for now my little lamb ,keep a watch on Mom ,Dad and little bro Chad ....Love you for ever and ever ,Grandma Marisa .

Jeffrey, I have so many found memories! You were such a joy when you came into our family. Even though I am 8 hours away you knew that I was here if you needed me. Your cousins will miss you dearly, Remington remembers playing with you in the pool and especially the legos, you and him would play with them for hours. Your Uncle Phillip enjoyed talking hunting with you and wanted to take you so bad. Please watch over us in Heaven and continue your work there.
Love you with all my heart Aunt Nay Nay (Ranee)

I had the honor of being Jeff's seventh grade Language Arts teacher at Holland Christian. As always their are a flood of memories from those 184 days spent together, but the one that stands out and follows his life story is Dad coming to speak to the entire seventh grade. We had a Great Lakes Week devoted to history, invention, and promoting the Great Lakes. Dad did a fantastic job with Jeff at his side. Thank you parents for always putting Jeff first. It was very evident in the young man that we shared in seventh grade.

There is hardly a spot in our house that doesn't bring up memories of Jeff. Whether it is him hanging with the other boys in Jason's room, eating at the dining table or watching football frenzy sprawled on the living room floor-his presence resonates. Quick with a smile and always willing to lend a hand, Jeff was always welcome and fit right in. He will be so missed-he was a great friend to Jason and a joy to have around.

Dear Jeffrey,
Your Aunt Laura, cousins Joe, Nick and Andy, and I will miss you very much. Unfortunately, we were always so far apart that we never got to know you as much as we would have liked. I, sadly, have learned more about you in the days since your passing than I ever knew about you in life. There's no doubt you were incredibly special to many people and touched the lives of so many in a positive, caring and loving way. I do not know or understand why the Lord took you from all of us at such a young age, but I'm confident it was for a very special reason. You will always live in our memories and in our hearts.
All my love and respect,
Uncle Rick
P.S. Put a good word in for me up there.

Jeffrey, I remember 12 years ago when I would take care of you and Chad while your parents worked. At the time my daughter Kayla was only 6 months old and she couldn't wait for you two to come over and play with her. You would always push her in her little car. You were a big help to me when I was trying to get house work done or make lunch for the three of you. It was a joy to have you over. A few years ago when I saw you, you were getting ready to graduate from High School. It's hard to imagine that you were taken up to Heaven at such a young age. Hopefully it gives your parents and Chad comfort knowing that you are in Heaven. You will be missed by all who knew you. One day we shall meet again - Shelly Hungerink

I remember when your dad came in to Lakeside Montessori School concerned that you weren't doing ANYTHING at school as a first grader. Your dad would ask you what happened at school every day and you would say "nothing!" Fortunately, the day your dad came in with his concern, we had something VERY visual to show him! I laughed when he told me about your response. Well, your dad was VERY relieved that you had something to show for yourself. Rest in peace, Jeffrey. Love from your Montessori teacher--Mrs. Kiddy

Jeffrey, There are so many good memories of you. Starting with the beautiful day you were born. The FIRST boy in the family. We were all so proud. I always lived so far away but couldn't wait to come and see you or talk to you on the phone. When I lived in Germany, I would wait up til 1 and 2 in the morning just to be able to talk to you for about 20 minutes or so. Then before my eyes you have grown into a young man. How the years have passed. You have touched a lot of lives and helped a lot of people. You will continue to live on in all our hearts. Your grandma Marisa seen God take your hand. We all know you are safe now and you will be able to rest in peace. Keep looking down and watch over your mom, dad and little brother. They will miss you so much. Continue holding gods hand and continue your journey with him. I love you so very much. Aunt Betsy
