As many of you have read Jeff "Tuna Chaser" passed away 12\28\05 in his sleep. I found it only right to make this. Many of you remember his first picture....
At first we didn't know how to take Jeff with his name but I think it's safe to say he grew on all of us. He will be truly missed.
May you rest in peace Jeff out at sea where you truly loved life!
OMG!! I haven't been on much today but I never expected to see this. This has been such a sad year. I can't believe it. Wow. I wasn't paticularly close to Jeff but I feel like everyone on here is family and this just hurts so very much! It is so sad.
May you rest in peace and may your body be free among the waves. May your soul live forever and may your heart live on. You may not have known how you have touched people in your life, even on something as simple as a pet forum. Rest in Peace Jeff.......You will be missed.
You never know where you will meet a friend, that is why it is so important to be nice to everyone. Jeff was a great example of that. I wish him the best whereever he may be.
I'm still in shock at first I didn't think it was true so one of my other freinds who knew him and called his cell. She couldn't believe it was true either but sure enough it is. I don't really know what to think. People and dogs have been dieing or being put to sleep alot this month. What is with this month?
[ People and dogs have been dieing or being put to sleep alot this month. What is with this month?] Winter is the season of death, for the earth...all is renewed in the spring. Then babies
and sprouts replace all that passed before them.
I loved Tuna. I consider it an honor to have met him here. God saw how great he was, and could not help but want him for himself, so we don't have the pleasure of his good company anymore Tuna is Captain of a more important boat than the ones he enjoyed in this world. It is such an understatement to say he will be missed. I am a little to shocked to say much more. Isis smiles for the man that cared for her child. As on Earth, so in heaven. He has made a grand place for himself because of the great goodness in his heart. God bless and keep safe our Tuna. I will try to be as good as he was. He was an inspiring man, more than many folk can say, upon passing.
As Jeff stated, he had the best Christmas of his life. He felt truly blessed by God for all that he had and for all of his friends. His sobriety was one of many accomplishments. But love of Family, Friends, and most of all, his love for Nora, will be his crowning glory.
If all of us could script our lives to live and die as we choose, I would have to pen mine similar to Jeff's.
His sole's energy will be surely missed here on Earth. But rest assure, he has embarked on the ultimate journey that all people live their lives for. His journey will be of joyous peace.
He had the chance to spend a wonderful weekend galavanting around with his old buddys and family this past weekend, his family and friend will remember it forever.
such heartbreaking news !! he was so young at only 31. my heart goes out to his family and friends. i know he thought the world of you pd. this is probably especially hard on you as i know you were talking about getting a place together. when i lost my kids father , we had been together for 9 years. he was only 31. he died two days before my birthday. it was the hardest thing i have ever been through. i feel his family's pain. and they are in my prayers. you too pd. i know you were very close. so very sorry.
OMG! I'm in total shock! I first read it on Puttin's myspace bulletin and I didn't believe it! I am so shocked....this is terrible....What's his last name? Is his obit. out yet?
Heather, their family said they are not going to put it in the obituary. I did not ask why. Memorial tommorrow at 10 a.m. in San Diego, his burial will be in his home town, my home town, at sea. on a different day.
I have spoken to anothero ne of his freinds who spoke with his Sister In Law. Jeff's sister in law will be sending her a copy of what they are giving the memorial serivice place. She said as soon as she gets it she will send me a copy and I will post it up here for ya'll.
Wow. I just dont know what to say. Tuna's jokes were one thing I had to look forward to everyday. Even if I wasn't able to check I knew they'd be there waiting until I could snort, giggle, or roll on the floor. I am grateful he blessed us with his presence, not just once but twice, for he came and went and came back. Now he has gone somewhere far better than I can even imagine.
Think he's wondering who is going to carry on the joke of the day for him???
(Sorry to joke on a sad topic, if it offends I apologize, for it is my way of dealing and trying to make people smile slightly)
