Dearest family and friends: This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Jeff Behling, a dedicated husband, father, son, brother and friend who passed away all too suddenly on September 17, 2014. Although he left us too soon, he affected many and we will remember him forever.
A year has passed all too quickly, and sometimes too slowly, we have endured triumphs and trials along the way but through it all, we continue to be upheld by the love and support of so many.
We love you all greatly and appreciate your continued prayers as we continue this forever journey. We are grateful that God is holding us under His wings and caring for us through all of you.
With Abundant Love, Tanna, Anya and Cole

Aubrey and I just watched a video a few days ago where the Behling's, the Looney's, and our family were celebrating Labor Day together. Was neat to see and brought back great memories. The oldest kids were about six at the most I think. Anyway, Aubrey and I said a little prayer for Jeff. Miss him but know he is in heaven with God.

Dear Tanna, Anya and Cole,
On this anniversary our prayers are for you still to feel the love of God, family and your friends that hold you all so dear. That you continue to heal and grow in Christ. Through this year you all have shown remarkable faith and have shined Jesus as you have gotten your strength from Him to go on.
Much love and continued prayers to each of you.

Today on this anniversary I wanted you to know you are being laid before the throne of God for assurance and peace, comfort and mercy. I'm praying God envelops your heart with truth and you cling to him with all you've got. I know God is strengthening you through these trials you are enduring even if you don't sense it. You may have never felt weaker. I'm praying for your Aaron and Hur to come along side you when your arms/heart are too weary for battle and they help hold you up. The rest of us are holding you up in prayer. God is faithful to have you on my heart.

I wish you were here today
even for just a little while
so I could say Happy Birthday my son
and see your wonderful smile.
Your gifts today will be
the ones you left behind
your beautiful wife and children that love you so much.
and our precious memories...the very best kind.
Today I'll do my best
to try and find a happy place...
as I struggle to hide my heavy heart
and the tears upon my face.
I find relief through the pain today my love
in knowing that you are at peace
We will forever miss you and find comfort
that you are with our Lord in Heaven above.
Love,
Mom

My thoughts and heart are in your place of grief. I know how hard and unfair it seems to not have your Daddy here present with you. He is with you in a GREATER sense, He is right by, letting Jesus know to tell you how much He loves you! You are created for a purpose. You have the strength to tell your stories, each individual, and each so impactful. You are LOVED, you are so precious and important in this world to carry on the gift of Love that has been given to you. xoxox

Anya may you be strong and remember the happier times. Jeff you are always in my heart and I hope you are batting a thousand up there - if I'm pitching to you someday I know the average will go up.

My deepest sympathy to the Behling family. I didn't know him, but I know the pain. It was so comforting to see so many use the scriptures to offer comfort. Our loving Father knows exactly how to comfort us. He promised in Isa. 25:8 "he will swallow up death in victory and the Lord God will wipe away tears from all of our faces----". That helped me tremendously along with John 5:28, 29. I hope it helps you through this time of need. Again sorry for your loss.

A reminder of how it once was when you were truly mine.
Rest peacefully my gentle boy in the absence of pain
Until we meet again my love.......some time does yet remain.

Our deepest sympathies to your family over the loss of Jeff. We are thinking of you and praying for you day and night. May God bring you strength and comfort beyond measure.
Much love to all of you!
The Best Family
Isaiah 40:18-31
Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Depression is REAL!
May 19, 2015
by Anya Behling
depression is real, and it's not always obvious. it's an underlying feeling below the surface of helplessness when otherwise strong. my daddy was stressed, about various things—instead of seeming to tackle one problem to the next, the problems mounted up and became so worrisome that they day before it finally came to a head, it was obvious that he needed to see a doctor. he was given anti-anxiety medication to help him calm down & an anti-depressant, however, he was told it would take approximately two weeks to 'kick in'. little did I know the morning of september 17, 2014 would drastically change my life forever. however, I believe that your lives can be changed too. my dad's death is not in vain, since many struggle with depression and battle suicidal thoughts on the daily but never reach out for help. my dad in his own way, was reaching out, by letting others know that he was stressed, however unfortunately, it seems to be the norm these days. we live our lives in hyper-drive so it doesn't raise any red flags. suicide is a real thing. depression, mental illness, physical illness, pain and sorrow are REAL. this suffering isn't to be ignored or dealt with on your own. suicide, bottling up emotions, or self harm should never be an answer. it's just a permanent solution to a relatively temporary situation. death ends a life not a relationship, I love and miss you, counting down the days until we meet again.

Top 10 Lists
September 23, 2014
by Mike Ray
Jeff was absolutely the best at top ten lists. In our younger days, whenever we went somewhere, fishing, ball game, food run. . . We made up these "Top 10 List" contests. Top 10 Badger football players, top 10 Packers, top 10 rock songs, guy movies, muscle cars, Brewers . . . whatever. You couldn't beat him on any sports list. And if he thought you pulled up some name, team, movie, whatever, that he didn't think belonged on the list, you'd hear about it for a long time. "Really, Journey as a top 10 band?" I heard that for a loooong time.
I'll need to come up with our "Top 10", Top 10 list. But I'll never forget our argument about porkrinds as a top 10 snack. I think he was actually a little hurt when I disagreed with him on that one.
Thanks for all you have done for me over the years. Too many times to count. We'll miss your laugh, your passion and your humor. I love you man!

Volleyball Games
September 22, 2014
Jeff was one of my favorite people to sit/stand next to during a game. He could always make me laugh especilly when there was a bad call made a ref, his comments were hillarious.
The smile on Jeff's face when his beautiful daughter made a good play was priceless. I also enjoyed hearing about the highlighs from Coles sporting events as well.
You will be missed Jeff and we promise along with army of family and friends that we will watch over your beautiful family.
Love
