Paula, It was an honor to provide care to Jeff. He was a superstar patient . He handled his diagnosis and surgery with courage and dignity. My son is a current Lucas football player- senior team. I was touched to learn of Jeff's rich history. Please know he touched so many here at LHSC. I am so sorry for your family's loss.

He was a very good friend , and I will miss him very much

Got to know Jeff in high school as we shared a mutual love for live music. As each of us joined bands and started playing around clubs locally, he was always interested in how things were going, where we were playing, etc. Always supportive, sharing contacts and experiences. Beers and hackey sack at Call the Office, and watching him beat the crap out of him drums are fond memories. Great guy, gone too soon. Condolences to Jeff's family; know that Jeff was loved and respected. RIP buddy.

I went to school with jeff great guy so sorry to here of his passing . We started playing drums at the same time great talent my condolences to his friends and family .

Very sad news. I was lucky to know and play in a band with Jeff a long time ago. I'm so sorry - my heartfelt condolences.

My deepest condolences to the Depew family. I knew Jeff through our music community many years ago. We shared gear, stories, laughs, beers and much more. Jeff was never without a smile and he and his talent will be greatly missed.

Jeff will be deeply missed by so many people he has touched over the years. My sincere condolences to his entire family. The ball cap and warm smile will be forever etched in my mind. Thanks to Bobby for introducing me to Jeff back in the day.

My condolences to the family. I haven't seen Jeff in years and was sad to see hear of his passing. He was always the sweetest guy. I will miss his smile.

My condolences to all that were close to Jeff. He was one of the senior drummers that went to Lucas high school years ago that I admired and looked up to. He was always friendly to me despite the fact that I was younger, and not nearly as talented or as cool as he was! ...I hope you are in a better place jamming with the greats Jeff!

My condolences. I went to Lucas with Jeff and for a time we were the rhythm section in the high school jazz band. Jeff was a great drummer - I remember when he won the battle of the bands with Shattered Image. He enjoyed doing what he loved with many prominent bands which speaks volumes to his dedication to rock and roll, and to London. Whenever I came back for a visit and had the good fortune to run into him he was always the same friendly man I remembered. Gone but not forgotten...RIP

Paula, Johnny O, Troy and Becky and the rest of Jeffs family and friends. I am so sorry for your loss. If you know Jeff, you all know how much you meant to him and how much he loved you. Jeff, you are a friend, a brother and an inspiration to me and I am truly a better and blessed person for have knowing you. The world was a more special place for having you on it and my life was a better life for having you in it. You always had a smile on your face and never had bad things to say about anyone. I look back at all the years I spent with you and amongst all of this pain and sadness I smile when I think of you. You will always hold a special place in my heart and in my mind and I look forward to the day I see you again. Heffe, if you were here to read this you would tell me right back... "Love you baby!". Sleep well my dear friend. I love you.

Family and friends...Jeff will always be that hilarious little brother (Paula made the introductions) and a helluva talent....but the smile will stay with me always...Miss ya Furry!

Nothing can ever prepare us for such savage loss. The hardest when one is taken so young. Jeff was a bright spirit for all of us who were fortunate enough to cross his path. I wish sincere peace to his family and friends whose loss I can not fathom. My deepest sympathy is with all of you.

Jeff was a good friend to many and was very well liked and respected at Lucas. In the days as his love for the drums was starting to boil over; he was also an outstanding football player. Deepest condolences to the family from the Lucas Vikings.
