During times of loss we find ourselves troubled by things that we do not understand. There are no answers to comfort our grief, only lasting love and precious memories. Arndts Church was blessed to have Jeff lead us in worship and song for 40 years. Jeff will always be remembered as a hard-working, honest and respectable man that you can be proud of. Please know that we share your grief and will be remembering you in our thoughts and prayers.

We are privileged and grateful to have known Jeff for over forty years. Even at a young age, Jeff was the kindest, most caring and loving human In our community. It’s quite understandable why he chose his professional career in youth and family services.
Jeff, you will always be our daily prayers and hearts.
Thank you for all your love and support.

Love you and will miss you bunches! 🙏🏼❤️🥰
