In Loving Memory

John ArdOkeechobee, FL Parents: Siblings: |
JEFF WAS LOVED UNCONDITIONALLY BY OUR ENTIRE FAMILY. WE ALL ARE SO SAD AT LOSING HIM AND CAN'T DESCRIBE THE PAIN WE FEEL. HIS PASSING HAS LEFT US WONDERING AND ASKING SO MANY QUESTIONS THAT WILL NEVER BE ANSWERED.

Jeff, you are in my thoughts every day.. You were my best friend, mentor, and my loving boyfriend..I have never known such a beautiful soul as you.. I'm so saddened that we found our way on that dark road of addiction.. It ruined everything.. We began to betray and lie to each other.. And that just shows how evil this disease is.. I struggle everyday, but I know you're keeping me safe from destroying myself.. Love you and miss you.. |

We attended the nope memorial tonight. This was #5 I always feel so sad when I see all the photos of lives lost way to soon to the disease of addiction. Jeff I know your death touched so many but I just wish we had you back. We love you so much and miss you with all our hearts. Nothing changes with such an enormous loss that we feel |

The sadness is always with you. 6-11-10 is forever burned into our very souls. The loss is so strong it cripples your very being . How much we love you Jeff and how much we miss you |

Jeff, you are missed very much by your parents and many others. I never got to know you well but I trust that you are doing fine in heaven with my son, Justin Dale. I have been able to get to know your loving parents and they are still struggling with your death just as I am still struggling with Justin's death. I wish everyone that knew you peace. |

Jeff we miss you so much and wish everyday life could have turned out differently. But, it was not to be and that is the cold hard facts. We never stop thinking of you and wishing you were here but deep down in our hearts we are so thankful you are not suffering from the miserable disease of addiction anymore and I know you are at peace and being taken care of. That is what gets us through each day. We attended the 3rd NOPE since your death. God knows we love you
so much. MOM and Dad |

Two years is a long time when you mark it off minute by minute. This is how you continue to go through life when you have a loss so devastating. There is no greater sadness. We miss your physical presence, your smile, the sound of your voice the comfort of a hug. We miss you Jeff and love you always. Mom and Dad

Love you and miss you 24 7 Mom and Dad |

One year has passed since you left us. This has been the most painful journey anyone could go on. There are no words to describe the awful feelings we have felt. The most comfort is knowing you are out of pain
and the knowledge God takes care of the sick, homeless and most of all the addicted. We love and miss you everyday always in our thoughts and prayers. Unconditionally loved Mom and Dad |

A candle lit in honor of John, on the anniversary of his passing. May he rest in peace, and may Gods peace rest on his loved ones.

Jeff, I didn't get a chance to know you like I would of liked to. But, you are my cousin and I love you. I remember at Granny's funeral, you came up and hugged me like I was your very best friend. I will never forget you. Only God knows the reasons behind every death. One day we will all know the answers. But for now, we have the memory of you in our hearts and those can never be taken away. My son is two weeks old now, and he's my everything. I now, know what it's like to constantly worry about what might happen next. I couldn't even imagine the pain uncle John Roy and aunt Vicky have felt. If there's one thing that gives us hope, it's that we will see again someday. Love, Jena |

In memory of a precious life that ended much too quickly. We love you, Jeff, and miss you. |
|
Jeff, your smile was contagious! You always wanted to see everyone happy. Although you have left us....your love, laughter and memories never will. You are truly missed by many and you touched far more people than you ever hoped! Love You |
|
God Bless |
|
We will always miss Jeff and his sweet, loving nature and we refuse to let his death be in vain. We vow to become involved with the fight against drugs and pray that we can we can help others, one by one. |

Through Jeff we must seek hope for without hope we only have despair. |

Jeff you were my little baby no matter how old you were. When you died a part of heart went with you. The rest was left behind for the others that we still need to help. Because of you, we now know what we need to do and not afraid to do it. Your death was not in vain. We understand our task and we will begin our new endeavor to help the others. Without you - they couldn't be helped. I love you Jeff and miss our talks so much. I know you are OK and are probably laughing at me cause you know I'm crying...but I love you. Aunt Lydia Jean |
|
Jeff, you may be gone but you will never be forgotten. Your memory WILL live on and WILL help others. Love Always, Kari |

I am so very sorry for your loss. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. The pain of losing a child is a heartbreak you never recover from. Time does help to accept what has happened and to learn to carry on. If I can help you in any way, please feel free to contact me. btwn@hotmail.com |
