It’s hard to believe it has been 15 years since Jeffery went to his Heavenly home.I’m sure him and Ricky are having an awesome time. Miss you and love you.
Our family created this website in honor of our precious son and Nikki's big brother, JEFFREY ALAN FLANDERS, 22, born on June 5, 1986 at 7:24PM and called home to Heaven on April 10, 2009 at 2:00PM while surrounded by his loved ones!
JEFFREY WAS A WONDERFUL AND LOVING YOUNG MAN!! EVERYONE THAT HAD THE HONOR OF KNOWING JEFFREY CAN SHARE MEMORIES, COMMENTS, PICTURES, FUNNY OR SERIOUS STORIES , AND EVEN SOME OF HIS FAVORITE SONGS.
OUR FAMILY'S DREAM IS THAT FUTURE GENERATIONS WILL KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT JEFFREY'S SHORT LIFE. EACH OF US HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH THE HONOR OF SHARING.
WE LOVE AND APPRECIATE EVERYONE THAT IS WILLING TO SHARE THEIR LOVE OF JEFFREY WITH THE WORLD,
RICHARD AND LAURA FLANDERS
NIKKI, DAGAN, AND BERKLEY HOLLAND
(JEFFREY'S FATHER, RICHARD FLANDERS, PASSED AWAY ON MARCH 30, 2020. PLEASE CONTINUE TO REMEMBER OUR FAMILY IN YOUR PRAYERS)

It's hard to believe that Jeffrey would be 37 today. This BIrthday has been harder on me. I know that his Heavenly Home is Glorious, but I think about all of the things he never had a chance to experience. Thanks to everyone who thought of Jeffrey today!!

WOW, Can you believe that Jeffrey would be 36 years old now? I often think about the fact that he never got the chance to truly live as an adult. His dream was to be a Meteorologist and although he struggled with school, I know he would have achieved all of his goals in life!! Such a difference between someone making you do something versus doing everything possible to reach your goals! We all Love and miss Y'all.

Jeffrey,13 years ago God needed you more than this broken world. God healed you from head to toe. You were free from your pain and fears of the unknown. I still hear Nana calling me back to your bedside. You smiled and shed a tear with your last breath I treasure that moment more than I can express. One day, we'll get to see why you smiled, but we already know.I Love You with all of my heart and Miss you always ❤️

Still missing you... but thankful for the peace that comes from knowing that Daddy is there with you now. (I'm pretty sure Mom is jealous since you were always her favorite... ) We can't wait to see you both again someday. Love you, Bubba!

Oh how I miss our precious son. Jeffrey was a "Mama's Boy" and he knew that I could handle anything he needed!
My heart breaks when I visit Jeffrey's Memorial site and see that our family and friends aren't visiting or sharing.
I'm aware that everyone is busy living their lives and I love you all, but please take the time to share with us someday.

It's been 8 long years since God called our Jeffrey home to heaven and ended his suffering. It seems like only yesterday when my life changed. Regardless of how hard I work or what medications/treatments my doctor tries, my depression and anxiety continue to get worse. I love Jeffrey with all my heart and if it weren't for Ricky, Nikki, Mama, Ken and my special BFF, Dottie Cooper, I don't know where I would be. I appreciate everyone that remembers Jeffrey today! Will that person be you? If so, please sign in, so we can see who really cared about our Angel, Jeffrey Alan Flanders!

Jeffery was the same every time you was around him. I miss, when
camping he would tell you anything you wanted to know about the weather. Jeffery has greatly been missed, but what great Joy he has now.

Ricky, Nikki, and I lost Jeffrey to cancer after an 18 month battle. He was the bravest person I've ever known. He was so very sick, but he didn't complain. He had no doubt that he was Heaven bound. He smiled just before he took his last breath and we know he was seeing something amazing. One day we will see him again. Missing our amazing son and brother dearly. Truly unique young man!

Always smiling! Always telling us how much he loved us! Setting an example for many along his difficult journey. Jeffrey was always a mama's boy & I loved every bit of our time together. Losing such a super son and brother to Nikki was tragic, but Jeffrey will be forever remembered for his smile, his heroic attitude during his battle with a very aggressive cancer. Our HEART & HERO!

NIKKI'S LOVE FOR HER
January 21, 2017
Jeffrey- you were our angel while you were here with us, and now you are our angel in heaven. I will never forget any of our memories, the good, the bad, the funny, the sad. I will cherish them every day for the rest of my life. I'm heartbroken that you're gone; but I am so thankful that I had you for these 19 years of my life. They would have meant nothing if I didn't have my bubba to share them with . I love you more than words could ever express. & I will ALWAYS hold you in my heart. I know you're always with me.. & I know I will see you waiting for me one day. I love you baby boy. Take care of all of us. We're staying strong, because we promised you that we would. Thank you for smiling that one last smile. You could always brighten the saddest of days, and that smile let us know that you were no longer in pain, no more suffering. I love you Jeffrey, always and forever. You'll always be my number one, my bubba :)

LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY
April 10, 2016
April 10, 2009 seems as if it were yesterday. I can still hear Jeffrey singing "Daddy likes big butts...." as I was making his hospital bed and had a hard time getting to the side of the bed by the wall. I can remember the numerous times that he got mad at me for making him do what the Dr. ordered. He knew that I loved him unconditionally and would always be by his side regardless of what he would tell me when he was mad. Not mean things, but comments such as "don't touch me" or "don't talk to me!"
There was a certain man, Mr Rudy Heath, that visited Jeffrey often and soon felt like family. He could get Jeffrey to do whatever he was supposed to do without one complaint. Although I know that Jeffrey is in a much better place, I yearn for the day when our family is reunited.
I pray that all parents let their children know that they love them unconditionally and tell them often because only God knows what tomorrow holds and the loss of our son at the age of 22 hurts just as much today (if not more) than 7 years ago.
"I’ll Lend You A Child"
April 10, 2015
“I’ll lend you for a little time a child of mine, he said.”
For you to love – while he lives,
and mourn for when he’s dead.
It may be six or seven years,
or twenty-two or three, but will you,
till I call him back, take care of him for me?
He’ll bring his smiles to gladden you,
and should this stay be brief.
You’ll have his lovely memories as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay,
since all from earth return.
But there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn.
I’ve looked this world over
in search for teachers true.
And from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes,
I have selected you.
Now will you give him all your love,
nor count the labor vain,
Nor hate me when I come
to call to take him back again?”
I fancied that I heard them say,
“Dear Lord, Thy will be done.
For all the joy Thy child shall bring,
the risk of grief we’ll run.
We’ll shelter him with tenderness;
we’ll love him while we may.
And for the happiness we’ve known
forever grateful stay.
But should the angels call for him
much sooner than we’ve planned.
We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes
and try to understand.”
~Edgar Guest
Jeffrey was very blessed to have had such a loving family. I only remember him as a very sweet boy with a very sweet smile. And, I will always remember how much he was loved by his Mom, Dad and Sister. May God bless you all.
