I Am So Sad To Hear This News. I Have So Many Wonderful Memories Of Jeff As A Friend And Brother Of Tke. Jeff Was One Of The Best Athletes I Have Ever Met, He Could Pick Up And Play Any Sport Like A Pro. He Was Fiercely Competitive But Always Showed True Sportsmanship. Such A Genuine Person, Fun, Passionate And Loved His Family. Jeff Would Always Drop Anything He Was Doing To Catch Up With Me Or A Friend When I Was In The Charleston Area. He Will Be Missed. God Bless!
