Prayers to you Marjo, I can't imagine how hard this is for you. Jeff was one of a kind, I will miss his wit and his political reviews! I was glad to run into him again at the town hall meetings when he ran for city commission, he really spoke well and was very impressive. He will be missed by many.

With all my heart I believe Randy and Dale met you at Heaven's Gate. Promise me that y'all will meet me there one day! In loving memory, dear nephew.......

I will never forget the Trip to Washington D.C. in High School. We had a great time. Richard Gephardt happened to be on the plane to D.C. from KC. and even though Jeff was a Republican he was still very excited to meet him. The year was 1988 and Jeff was a Senior and I was a Junior. My thoughts go out to his Family and sister Margo.

Dear Marjo, Kendall and Judy, Ross and CC, Eric and Kayla,
We are shocked and saddened to learn that Jeff passed away on Tuesday. I just found out through an e-mail from Phi Delta Theta. Please know that we are grieving with you, and that our whole family loved Jeff. We will never forget all of the awesome get-togethers that our families shared in Yankton, Aberdeen, Sturgis, and Winner.
Mike and I celebrated our 19th wedding anniversary this past April and we talked about how Jeff was in our wedding as a groomsman and also Robert's wedding several months later.
We have re-located to Hill City, SD. Our new address is PO Box 817, 824 Major Lake Drive, Hill City, SD 57745. My cell number is 605.842.6375 and Mike's cell is 605.842.6065.
With deepest sympathies,
Sarah, Mike, Lexy, Drew, and Kendyl Hanson
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Marjo.

One beautiful Summer evening in Jeff's backyard, we spoke about life, God, and the hereafter....He was convinced that there was something beyond this world. I had my doubts at the time, but now I he was right and that where ever that place is, Jeff is safe there. I'll miss our conversations together, but I'll hold on to the belief that some day I will be able to talk to him again. Rest in peace Jeff...You will be truly missed.
Always, Enjoli
I've only just heard that Jeff passed away and most assuredly he is too young to leave. Growing up in Yankton, I had the opportunity to spend quite a lot of time with him. I remember his passion for his Country, for the Republican Party and conservative ideals, and for the fine music of U2. But most of all, I remember his fierce protection and deep brotherly love for his sister, Marjo- a quality I truly admired.
Rest in a great & full peace, Jeff. You've more than earned it.
Kelly Jones
Our time with you here was to brief, but the future holds eternity for us all. I will see you on the other side, and embrace you as friend again.
Willie Russaw
Rest In Peace Jeff! My deepest sympathies to your friends & family! You will be missed! Always enjoyed talkin' with Jeff! I've known Jeff since 1998 in the Guards, had his campaign signs in my yard, and had him scouting cars for me at his work. He was a good guy!
Brian Fejfar
I went to school with Jeff he will be greatly missed
Susie
Dear brother, you will be missed and I am glad we reconnected again recently.
In Coelo Quies Est.
Yours in the Bond,

Jeff and I became friends at USD. I was just texting him last week about old times and we were talking about getting together to play tennis... I picked up the newspaper today, and saw the obituary and I am in shock... God bless your family, my prayers go out to all of you. He will be missed.
Marnie (Keller) Kleinschmit
Deepest condolences on your loss. I am certain Jeff is livening up the intellectual atmosphere in Heaven with intelligent debate!
Susan Harper
Jeff was my best friend during my stay in Yankton as an Exchange Student. I consider him my best buddy and brother during my stay. I can never forget all the good times we had. Im so shocked to know that he passed away. So long Jeff...
