He worked at Brigham Women’s Hospital for over 15 years. He loved wrestling and horror movies. Jeffery was a funny guy always had people laughing and feeling loved by his warmth and encouraging words. Jeffery always greeted you with his affectionate smile. He loved his family deeply and loved the Lord just as much.
Jeffery always helped others even while fighting cancer. Even after his death he will forever have an impact on others lives. Jeffery ‘s tissue was donated to Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Research. He will be deeply missed.

In life we loved you dearly
You were a wonderful son
It broke our hearts to loose you
But you did not go home alone
For part of us went with you
We love you, miss you
You’ll forever be in our hearts
Love Mom and Dad
