Words just can not express the sadness and heartache I have for Tammy and her precious family. Jeff was much more than a friend, he was a brother to me. After Don died, Jeff and Tammy were at my house within minutes. He was as my mentor and “go to” person every Sunday morning if I struggled with my lesson. We enjoyed camping, fishing, Braves games, and eating out. After Don died, Jeff was would come check the chickens and cows, bush hog, cut hay or just “check in” on me to alert me of bad weather. He was a Bible Scholar. RIP Jethrow!
My heart goes out to the family, and also to his EMS family. It was an honor to know Jeff! His expertise was surpassed only by his caring attitude for his fellow man! Well done good and faithful servant…

My most heartfelt sympathy for Jeff’s family during this difficult time. Although I never knew him personally, we had many mutual friends in our EMS Family and I have always heard nothing but good stories about him and the fine service he provided in EMS over the years. A Paramedic like Jeff touches the lives of countless individuals and the legacy of love and devotion to duty will last many lifetimes. May he rest in peace with his Lord and Savior. Prayers for those he has left behind.

I am so sorry about Jeff. I will miss seeing him go up and down the road.
Jeff was about 8 years old when we moved next door. I watched him grow from a boy into a man. He was a friend and a wonderful neighbor.
When my husband got sick, I had to call on him for help and he was there within 5 minutes. My prayers and thoughts are with you. You have my deepest sympathy. He will be missed.
