Jeffery! Missing you my favorite cousin, so many things has happened in my life, and I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart, at the ripe age of 51, I'm taking the physician Assistant Course, the doctor I have been working for many years saw that I have the determination to be the best, and I remembered you telling me that it doesn't matter what age you are, you need to make sure that you are hungry for it! And certainly I have listened to you all the way! I love you, miss you, you will always be in my heart! - Posted by: Nicole Fernandes (Cousin) on: Sep 22, 2020

I met Jeffery for the first time in 2006. We both worked for the same company. He in Winnipeg and I in Edmonton. We became fast work friends, mostly by telephone. When I left the company, he was always there to provide motivation and to lend a ear. He was a gentle giant of a man. He will be missed by many. Especially me. My thoughts to his family. - Posted by: Lorrie Pierson (Co-Worker) on: Aug 16, 2010

Jeff and I met when we were both 5 years old at the Macs Milk store on Cavalier Drive. We were both unhappy with the price of the gum we wanted to get. For the next 15 years we were the closest of friends. I would like to think the best of friends. Growing up we were practically inseparable. From sleep-overs when we snuck out of his father's trailer as children to meeting up at Assiniboine Park and adventuring on the bike paths. Our Summers were the greatest. The World is a lesser place without him. Mickey Robertson - Posted by: mickey robertson (Friend) on: Jul 31, 2010
