Tamsee and family, please know we are sending each of you our deepest sympathy, prayers and love on Jeff's passing.
Tamsee, I have known Jeff since I was a sophomore in High school. He and I met in chemistry class where he regularly led the class into goofy conversations which made us all laugh and trying to keep up! He was smart and kind. I saw much less of him since he moved away with the Air Force but we never lost touch. I will never forget him. And I am so sorry for your loss.
Dad, I'm very sad that your life was cut short. We all miss you everyday, it's different and difficult without you. We are a strong family. I know somehow we will get thru it. I hope you look down on me from time to time. I'll see you again. I miss you. I love you Love your son-Pat McNeely
May his memory always be a blessing in your heart. Our family is with you at this time Tamsee.
Dear McNeely Family, A life taken before fully lived is certainly heartbreaking. I feel that Jeff did his best to keep everyone on their toes with his sense of humor and practical jokes….all with a kind heart. I hope the family finds comfort in their memories and they continue to celebrate his life and accomplishments. Love, Auntie Elaine
Love you Dad!! May your your spirit be the brightest in the sky and the moon!!! Love your son-Pat McNeely
