    To Jeff’s family and friends. It’s equally as difficult to believe he is gone as it is to believe someone like him ever existed in the first place. God made this man unique in so many ways. That is evident in how much he was loved by so many. He was truly an example for all humans in how to love and treat your fellow man. Never will a Christmas or birthday or holiday pass that thoughts of Jeff won’t flood my heart. I can never light a candle without his light burning bright in my mind as it always does. We called each other “Peeps” and I will never stop missing him. I know we will all see him again one day. He has been swept into Heaven by his God, Who has welcomed him with open arms and proclaimed “Well done, thou good and faithful servant”. May you all be comforted by your memories of this truly remarkable man. God bless you. -Lisa Patton and family

    Jeff was a wonderful person. When I became a Great Clips franchisee, he was so helpful with all the questions I had. He was so kind.

    Jeff was a great friend and always put the cares and feelings of others before his own. He would do anything he could to help you out and had more faith and trust in me, than I did myself at one point. He will be greatly missed.
