Tributes
Leave a tributeToday I just found out Jeff passed in 2008. I am truly sorry for your loss but wanted to express my sincerest condolences to you and your family. I worked with Jeff as a Deputy for Sumter County Sheriff's Office. We worked the same areas together and truly relied upon each other as a team. He was funny, loved computer technology, excellent social skills, loved people period, and had a great sense of humour. Jeff was one of the fewest Deputies who knew South Sumter and the people knew him and would tell him where we could find a person faster than trying to locate an individual on our own. I learned so much from him and he took up so much time to make sure I learned the job correctly. He never saw race, he saw people as people. We had our share of Bonnie & Clyde days of getting into trouble and he always said as your Corporal, "I will never ask you to do something that I wouldn't do, and if you are in trouble, I am in trouble with you too." He meant that and has never left me out on a call by myself. No matter what type of call I received, Jeff Groth always came to back me up even if I didn't ask him too. We never had 1 misunderstanding about anything. I will always remember him for his smile and gifted ability in helping others. He was my friend and partner in law enforcement. One day I will see your smiling face again. May God bless you all! Love you my friend, #130.
R.I.P., Jeff
