Jeff, I woke this morning on your birthday thinking of you. It's so hard to believe you would have been 62 today. You are always remembered and loved. So many goodbyes these past few years. I so hope you're up there with Mom and Dad in peace and love. Jerry and I had dinner recently together and spoke of you. Love always, your sister

Four years have gone by it's unbelievable.
We always accidentally met at MCL. 
I don't go there anymore. 
And you wouldn't want to either it has roaches. Lol. 
Hope you are doing some shows where ever you are.  And making people laugh. 

I'm crestfallen to note four years late why haven't heard from Jeff. My condolences to all his family and friends.

Another year has passed . The last box of your photos , bills, cards, thoughts and more money orders has finally been sorted. The scent of your cologne has started to fade from the boxes but not my memory . Life goes on and time does indeed heal everything , but loving you. Fly high my friend

Still think of you often with many fond memories. Wish you were with us but do enjoy the dark butterflies that i know are you when you come to visit! Love ya!

It has now been 3 years . The dreams of you that haunted my nights have become less frequent. I am able to look back at our life together and remember more good times than the bad times. I was cleaning the garage out yesterday and came across a box of photos labeled Jeff’s Photos. As I went through the box i saw our life played out in the photos. I posted one from Joseph. You loved playing the Pharaoh. still missed still loved

Hello Jeffery!
I was just looking at your tree the other day and a butterfly flew by-I know it was you! Miss you and think of you often! Love you!

Hello Jeff!

Still miss you and your amazing sense of humor!!!!!!
Your tree is doing well and is happy with daffodils planted beneath it!!!
Always ,

Melany

Jeff, I thought of you yesterday on your birthday but couldn't find words. You are missed and remembered and loved always.

Yesterday was your birthday and for 6 weeks we are the same age. Happy Birthday Jeff still missed and still loved

Two years ago today we lost you and yet sometimes just for a moment I forget that you're gone. In this season of goodbyes that I've found myself in I so wish for less regrets. I've tried to do things I think you'd approve of like staying in touch with some of your good friends and I donated to a charity fundraiser for Stephen's birthday. Mom still has pictures you took and framed on her wall and the little wind chimes you gave her. You are missed so much today and everyday.

It has now been 2 years since you left for what I Hope was another incredible journey. I think of you often. When I am watering the plants I can hear your voice : Stephen you have to water these plants everyday. It is easy you just drink your coffee while you water. There will be plant I can’t identify and I start to call you . I can’t hear Freeze Frame or Dolly on the radio without thinking of you. Time has smoothed over the rough times we had together. I can better understand your frustration with life and wish I could have helped. Know you have not been forgotten and as Dolly said : I will always love you

Hello Jeffery! Melissa and I were just talking about you! WE both have orange impatiens in your loving memory in our gardens and think of you often!!! I put pink with mine so we make a beautiful combination together! Miss you so much!!!!! love you!

The tree the Garden Club planted in your memory is doing very well and with beautiful daffodils blooming at it's feet it is very happy. I just planted some blue scilla yesterday! Miss you terribly! Love you!

Dear Jeff, I've thought of you so much today. Mom is very forgetful these days but she remembered that today is your birthday and placed a picture of you right next to her chair so that she could look at your face. It's hard to believe that you are gone and that it will be 2 years in August. The regrets are still so hard to live with. You wouldn't even recognize your house now since it was redone and sold. I have a little copper covered wooden piece that came from that design you had above the front porch. I put it in my garden each summer and remember you and how creative you were each time I look at it. You are very, very missed and will always be by those who loved you.

Happy Birthday Jeff. Once again we are the same age. Your house has been sold  The yard now looks like all the other yards in neighborhood. I know how much you would hate that . Spring is approaching and I hope no one has found your secret mushroom spot . I think of you often. You certainly were one of a kind . Still missing and loving you

Happy Heavenly Birthday, Jeffrey!

ONLY one year? It seems like it's been so much longer. I miss knowing you're out there, being Jeff with the biting humor and the deep heart and passionate voice. I think you're out there in the cosmos. Somewhere.
I was remembering the ridiculous things you would whisper to me during our production of OCG, trying to make my serious on-stage facade crack. You were pure love and joy and energy to me. I think that you're that way even now. I miss you, friend.

I can't believe it's been a year! It was hthe Farmers Market yesterday and as always I miss you at that time~~you funny comments and stories always made me smile!!!!
Melissa, your coworker and now grden club member, brought orange impatiens to give away at our plant swap in May, because that is what you always had in the pots on your porch. So I put the orange impatiens in with my pink ones and what a beautiful combination~~so I will do that from now on! It always makes me think of you! Miss you terribly!!! The beautiful black and blue butterflies make me think of you!!!!

Goose,

Has it really been one year since you left this place? I so hope that wherever you are, that you are finally at peace. I know you believed that you had different lives; I will always look for you in your next one!

I saw the best one man play with Elizabeth and we so wished you had been able to see it. We laughed and wept. You would have LOVED it. The one line from it that I will remember eternally is: "If you live a long life and get to end of it without ever once having felt crushingly depressed, then you probably haven't been paying attention". Just so you know, your loss has made me pay attention.

I think of you so much, and miss you playing the devil's advocate in all our discussions. I just miss you so much, Goose! You will never be forgotten!

Dear Jeff,
This is a hard day remembering this was your last one. I've changed some things because of this loss in the way I'm living my life. Tried to honor you and live each day with gratitude.
I stumbled across some words you had written in an old notebook just last week and reading them gave me even more insight into just how hard you struggled to find peace and happiness. Made me cry and wish that things could have been different. Your family really wanted to help but we never were able to find a way to reach you.
Your graveside marker should be installed any day and we used a sentence on it that you told to Mom once a long time ago.
We talk about how your last day might have been and so hope that you weren't in pain and deeply wish that you weren't so very alone. We will always remember the good times and love and miss you forever....

Jeff,It has been a year since you left us for a bigger adventure. I know you would be thrilled I used one of your sparkly western suits in a professional show this summer. I also know you would pissed off I did not give credit in the program . You were also honored at the Encore Awards. You would have loved that. I think of the time we were together. The good and the bad. It was a roller coaster. Looking back I could have been spared the pain but I would have missed the dance. Still miss and love you

Happy Birthday Jeff. As I would say every year , we are the same age now. I have different remote locations on my screen saver and think of you every morning as I open my laptop. You are missed . Love you

Dear Jeff, Mom and I have talked so much about you these past days as your birthday neared. Mom cries when she thinks of you. We wish you were here so we could say Happy Birthday. You have changed the way I want to live my life in a good way. I am so sorry that you never had the chance to retire and enjoy time in Palm Springs which is where I know you hoped to go. Today, we will be making a donation to Save the Dunes in your name as I know that you wished for us to do that. We will love and miss you always.

Hello, Jeffrey. My mind stumbled upon you today, and it reminded me that you are gone from this earth and somewhere else. A place I cannot go yet, so I remember your wit and your candor and your wonderful laugh and your fearlessness. I miss your attitude and your sly comments and your loving face that saw and felt everything so deeply.
I am thankful we got to know each other, in this briefness of life. I miss you.

Jeff, we grew apart in our adult years and I could never figure out how to have a relationship with you after we grew up. I am sorry for that and will always have regrets about not being a part of those years of your life. I prayed for you daily though and never, ever stopped loving you. I wish I had been able to love you the way you needed. Mom and Dad's greatest wish was to be close with you again but they too could not ever find the path to love and connect with you as they longed to do.
Knowing that you were loved by so many gives us comfort that you were not alone. I wish I had known the Jeff that so many others knew. You were so talented, smart, funny but also so full of a longing for something that you could not find in this life. My heartfelt wish is that you have found your perfect peace and are at this moment singing and gardening with Marleigh or May Apple at your side.

Jeff.   We always see each other
Once a year.   At the MCL cafeteria.
By accident.   It is so funny lately I have been thinking I hadn’t seen you in a while  
Now I know why.    Lights are brighter in heaven .      I know you’re making God and Jesus laugh.

The photos we have posted were gathered from many Reeves gatherings and trips. We shared many good times and fond memories, which included camping, hiking, biking, shopping, family gatherings, food, lots of singing and laughing, with lively discussions. One of our fondest memories is singing The Sound of Music while driving over the mountains. We are sad, he will be missed. Always loved by his family.

May you rest peacefully & thank you for wonderful & funny memories. You planted & grew my 1st flowers & most of all you planted an loving friendship w/your brown sugar baby from Ameritech & SBC days..! You was a selfless person & Awesome man! I remember you wore a tux to Ms. CARLA retirement party & only silly U got down on 1 knee & proposed to me lol
The best LAUGH EVER!!!
Never forgotten never good bye
Love,
Tricia

I am truly going to miss you from the bottom of my heart! Loved our chats, marking the park, you not wanting to have wet feet from the dew or rain---so wearing plastic bags on your feet---always making me laugh and smile. loved your black suit that you added beads to yourself by hand....impressive! Sharing our secrets, and our lives, I wish I could have helped in some way. Wishing you the forever peace you have always deserved. Much love!

Oh the laughs we shared, the fights we had (but always made up)! I hope I am still here in your next life and I know you will let me know it is you! I selfishly miss you, but know you are now free and at peace and for that, I am happy. You are finally well, Goose. I love you!

I'd rather this were a real flower for the opening of another show we were doing together, Jeffrey. You will always be loved & missed.

We certainly had our ups and downs in our relationship. But you were loved and will be missed . I will miss the late night rants. I hope you find the peace that eluded you in life

I remember sharing a laugh with Jeff at your wedding. I went to put some lipstick on and it broke right in half! Grieving with you all! Love Dave, Sandy and Marcus!

We are all going to miss you Jeffrey, you were loved by so many. The theme song to Maude, your teasing of my gluten, secret satan not santa, the shows we went to. Trinitys infatuation with you, the babies talk and the platonic girlfriend bit. Our last scattegories games and you stayed on 2 words totally not what the letter was. Our calls, our rants, our texts and our dream of running away to the ocean and living on the beach again. Our ooookay and Minnesoooota. All our fun and laughs. I'm still in shock, I'm still not ready.
