in Winnipeg, MB and when he was in his 5th grade, the family moved to Beausejour, MB. There he remained until his teens. He moved to Winnipeg where he met Nicole, they settled down and had a family. Jeff took being a father very seriously and enjoyed his time with his children. He attended South Winnipeg Tech, which began his career as an Industrial Electrician. After graduation, he worked with P4 Electric until 2002 and was currently employed with G. Mallin Electric. Being an electrician was something he loved and excelled in. He was a loving father and was loved by his children, family and friends. Jeff will be sadly missed by all those who knew him. He enjoyed life, cooking and spending time with family and friends. Jeff was so easy going and fun to be around that everyone who met him could not help but like him. His sparkling eyes could melt anyone's heart. Jeff's funeral service will be held on Saturday, October 16 at 1:00 p.m. in the Immanuel Pentecostal Church, 955 Wilkes Ave. Special thanks to Carla Skynner, District 14 Police Dept.; and Sargeant Jim Thiessen and his unit for their support and assistance.

Every night before he went to bed he would say, "night, night." My love, my heart. My heart aches for you.....and always will. His brother Michael was his partner in crime, they would team up and trash the house after it was cleaned, boys will be boys. Your face full of laughter, your heart in your eyes, that's what I'll remember forever and all time. For two years we had you worth a lifetime of memories. You must have been too good because heaven wanted you back home. Goodbye my love, forever in our hearts. - Aunty Char.
