With heavy hearts we announce the passing of our beloved son, brother, nephew and uncle, surrounded by the love of family. Jeff was born in Victoria, BC and as a leap year baby had just celebrated his 36th birthday.
Jeff was predeceased by his beloved Rottie Java, his best friend and loyal companion. Jeff is greatly missed by parents, Bruce and Linda, sisters, Lauren (Paul) and Angela (Chris), aunts, uncles, nieces and nephew and his most special Auntie Lesley.
Jeff was intelligent, articulate, musically talented, handsome and charming. He was also tormented by the trauma of schoolyard bullying and it affected many aspects of his life. Jeff left this life with courage and sense of humour intact. He is finally at peace.
Our heartfelt thanks to the doctors, nurses and staff at Victoria Hospice for their kindness and caring and to Dr. Jean Maskey and nurse Karen for their gentle and compassionate administration of MAiD.
In lieu of flowers, donations if desired can be made to the Victoria Hospice.
Private family gathering.
Condolences may be offered to the family below.

Pat Hannah Dear Linda, I saw this quote I wanted to share :
‘The most painful tears are not the ones that fall from your eyes and cover your face. They’re the ones that fall from your heart and cover your soul.’
Sending hugs as you take time to grieve and cherish and remember memories of Jeff,

Cheryl Gilbert Our deepest sympathy to you all. I do remember Jeffrey attending a mutual friend’s day care when he was little. I wish I had had the chance to know him as a young man. In Jeffrey’s memory my wish would be that bullying others would stop. We all have a right to be accepted and loved just as we are. Rest in peace Jeffrey

Nicole Jackson Jeff was a virtual friend of mine for many years. We spent a lot of time joking and pondering life. Our famous saying was that we were both born on amethyst crystals. I hadn’t spoken to him for a few years and decided to email him on a whim. To my surprise, he answered and said he wasn’t doing well. We spoke for a few short months before he left this earth. Jeff’s love for music, Java and his nieces and nephew was evident. He will be sorely missed. Sending prayers for comfort to all who knew him.
Linda and Bruce,
So sorry to hear of your son’s passing. He was lucky to have such loving parents supporting him throughout his life. My hope for you both, is that with time, your grief will give way to memories of happier times spent with your son. Thinking of you both.
