I loved seeing Jeff everyday. He would always dance with us during off periods and lunch. He was always there to talk to and laugh with, he was a smiling face I would always be exited to see when going to school. My favorite memory of Jeff is at least 3 days a week during sophomore year I would see him in the hallway while searching for food and Jeff would always ask what class I'm in. He'd come into the class around 10 min later with food for me. There was one day he gave me a full chicken. He will be missed. - Ava Young (11th grade student)

freshman year when we had the lip syncing competition he did a rock and roll song and it was iconic, his hat fell off everyone was cheering and that was the best memory I have of him. I think I have a video but Im not sure. - Lauren Swanback (11th grade student)

I remember always saying high to Jeff going in and out of the back doors. It was always a fun person to see at the door to make you feel better about going to school. I'll really miss that kind face. - Noah Parker (11th grade student)

Jeff was clearly the most loved staff member at FHS, he was the friendliest person I have personally ever met and never failed to put a smile on peoples faces, he went out of his way to help others always and just in general does not have a bad bone in his body. His passing is a great loss for Fairview and anyone who ever had the pleasure of meeting him. - Claire Bachtel (11th grade student)

Im not sure but he´d always be there and greet you,He´d always greet you such a good Human and was always chill and never seem to have a bad day.Everyone would laugh every time he talked to somebody. - Andres Reyes-Lopez (11th grade student)

He was amazing and funny and really looked out for kids. - Cade Payton (11th grade student)

always made my day better just by telling me funny story or just cracking a joke. - Emry Banks (11th grade student)

Jeff was always so sweet. I once asked him for a food and he gave me a warm, melted reese from his pocket. We both laughed about it for so long. - Louise Maggio (11th grade student)

I live across the street and always walked to school early and he would always be standing in the street and wed talk for about a minute every time id walk over. - Carter Kahn (11th grade student)

Jeff Jones is an Angel in my life. I am a 47 year old practicum student, observing this year in Doc Z's Ap Lit and Senior Lit and Comp classes and a 1991 graduate of Boulder High School, where Jeff also worked. Between HS and this year, I have seen Jeff, and known him, mostly through his smiles, kind words of encouragement and cool confidence in the flow of this crazy life, which always sent the silent message that "...everything's going to be alright..." As an uber focused athlete and socially awkward teen, Jeff's presence in my HS was a great comfort. That comfort was familiar and welcomed last September as I entered the doors of FHS, navigating the nerves of beginning of a new career at age 47. I was so happy and relieved to see his kind, familiar face in the front office, amazed at my good fortune and the full circle nature of life. Feeling the positive impact of his presence in my life is a gentle, powerful reminder of how every gesture, every kind word, makes a difference; he made a difference for me, and has made a difference for us. I invite his Spirit to visit me, anytime, to remind me that we matter and that we can make a difference. Thanks, Jeff. I'm missing you. - Melody Fairchild (teacher/staff)

Back in freshman year, my friend and I were dancing in the hallway when Jeff walked up and asked us what we were doing. My friend told him that we were doing interpretive dance and he asked us to do some for him. I was laughing so hard that I wasn't able to come up with anything and so Jeff told me that I shouldn't bank on a future in interpretive dance as I wasn't very good at it. It was probably the best advice I've ever been given. Jeff was always able to make students smile and brighten our days. - Morgan Agnew (12th grade student)

He was by far one of the kindest people at Fairview, he sat at the lunch tables near us, he got along with every single type of kid, regardless of background. He always cracked jokes at me and my friends, who sat near him. - Yasas Wijesekara (12th grade student)

jeff was really the bright light at fairview i mean he has gotten me and my friends out of trouble a couple times also he like to talk about the future like what happening after high school and career he also seemed to bring a smile to me on those harder 8 hour days when i just felt bad he brought the happiness and brought the happiness. - Valtteri Talala (11th grade student)

I was never too close to Jeff but I know for a fact everyone knew who he was. You couldn't miss him wandering the halls with his familiar smile and raspy yet joyous voice. He'd always ask me how I was doing when I saw him in the halls and it always made my day. One of my favorite memories I vaguely remember is during one friday afternoon. There was some school event going on later that day but I never really payed attention to them. Some music was being played in the student center to rally people up in excitment. I walked off to the bathroom and looked down into the student center from the hallway ramps to see jeff on top of a table dancing his heart out. Jeff added a rambunctious character and energy to all of fairview. He will be missed deeply by all of us. - Dylan Schelin (11th grade student)

I remember Jeff as the light and heart of Fairview. Every student I know always loved Jeff and the energy he brought whenever he walked into the building. He always made time to talk with the kids; always getting in on their inside jokes. He was never afraid to have some fun and I specifically remember his karaoke performance at what I believe was the Homecoming assembly. He gave such a full out performance that had every student in the gym cheering him on. He never failed to bring a smile to my face, as well as all the other students he talked to. He will be missed greatly. - Mia Anderson (11th grade student)

I remember that Jeff was always making my friends and I smile. He was almost like one of the students at Fairview high school. He was always coming up to tables we would be sitting in the student center and just making sure we would be laughing or having a good time. Jeff will be greatly missed by our whole community and everyone who knew him, I am going to miss him a lot. - Joe Lingold (11th grade student)

I think the first time I talked to Jeff was when he and one of my friends were talking how he hates cats and small dogs. He hated small dogs because they were like cats. He wasn't the biggest fan of big dogs either, I just remember him saying he hated small dogs and cats. - Maya Ziebarth (11th grade student)

i remember that i'd see him in the hallways really often and i'd always say hi, and he'd always say hi and smile. he was very very kind to all of us. i remember he also helped my mom come find me in the school when they didn't let me know i needed to go to the office. i remember that she was really stressed about it and he was really kind and understanding. he was a really good dude, really sweet and supportive, and kind to everyone around him. - Ana Nakatani (11th grade student)

Jeff was really kind and funny. The kids loved him. He was in the ILC all the time. One of my favorite memories was when he would take us on a tour of Haunted Fairview. We saw the secret rooms, hidden escapes and even the dungeon. He had a great sense of fun and a sparkle. - Judy Pieken (teacher/staff)

I have a great deal of respect for Jeff because he was always sincere, caring, and honest in his interactions with the students - even when he needed to tell the student something they did not want to hear. 
Jeff did not hesitate to help out when I needed help filming a lab during the pandemic. He took on the role of a student with enthusiasm and humor. Thank you Jeff. Jeff really cared about and empathized with the students. - Steve Wozniak (teacher/staff)

Jeff held such a big and beautiful space at Fairview and in all of our lives as students individually. He walked with me through some of the most formative years of my life. And even when I went back after I graduated he made a point to be able to catch up and he promised me he would take care of my younger sister. He would talk to me about things ranging from the drama in the school to his beliefs and values. He affirmed and cared for all of us in a stage of life not many have the heart to. I lost my brother a few months ago and I know he is up there with Jeff. I can take peace in that even though not much else can do that. He deserved it all and will be remembered for the legend that he was in and outside of the walls of Fairview.

Jeff was truly the heart of Fairview. I have never met anyone who was quite as special as him. He knew everyone’s name and would always check-in with students if they were having trouble. He was honest and kind and gave the best advice. We will miss you dearly Jeff ❤️

Jeff made the hard days at school that much easier. He was always able to tell when something was wrong and always gave advice or just told you something you needed to hear. I will always remember him by how he was the only adult at school that truly took the time to understand us. He will always have a special place in my heart. And may his legacy live on forever. ❤️

Jeff was so much fun to spend time with at lunch on the bricks. He could never get my name right, so he would call me a combination of helga, Katie and helda, which I honestly loved. Usually he would give us silly advice, but from time to time he would get serious and remind us to do what we love or follow our dreams. He was so kind, so thoughtful, and extremely hard working. There never was a dull moment when Jeff was around. He exemplified the spirit of Fairview, and loved every single one of the students with his whole heart. He will be very missed.

Jeff, you always had my back. Always. Forever will be missed and forever in our hearts.

Jeff is my first memory that I have of Fairview. I was a middle schooler listening to a presentation in the student center when he discovered that someone had left their locker unlocked. He proceeded to turn the lock backwards on the locker so that they’d “learn their lesson”. It was a goofy, lighthearted gesture that was sure to cause some chuckles. In turn, I came to know Jeff as a goofy, lighthearted person who was sure to cause some chuckles. After that day in the student center, I knew I was going to love Fairview for a variety of reasons—but Jeff’s love and goofiness topped them all. He will forever be a real Knight for doing what he loved with a smile-inducing passion.

Jeff was really one of my best memories of Fairview. He was such an amazing and hilarious person. He was so good at checking in with every group of students. He would tell the best jokes that would just make my day. He was like your cool uncle you could talk about anything with. Rest in paradise Jeff, love you

Thank you for being such a joyful person! You always brightened my day!

Thank you, Jeff; from the lip sing battles; you always made everyone smile Your dance moves were incredible. You weren't just for guarding the castle. You were a great person and down-to-earth person; it was great talking to you and making us laugh, especially at lunch. You made sure I had some self-defense on me just in case I had to use it

Jeff you had the sweetest soul ever. You helped me through so much especially when it came to life lessons. Thank you for all your kind words and high fives in the mornings. I always think about the time where you made me help you push a golf cart from the back of the school for conditioning! I will miss you forever

Jeff was the first person I met at fairview. He helped myself and so many other transfer students in the school. He chatted with me, my friends, and several of the students; even when he didn’t have time, he would always wave. He was one of the most caring individuals. He always told funny stories as well. He did so much for the community and he will definitely be remembered by many.

Jeff, you helped me through so much when it came to academics and sports. I’ll always remember the time when you tried to help me out with my math homework and put so much work into it. You were a hardworking and genuinely good man. You’ll be missed forever.
