To Jeff these were his siblings and his best friends. They spent much time together for family gatherings, Barbeques and the occasional drink or two or three. Jeff also had a special bond with his cousin on his father's side; Debbie Fournier Billups. She was also a God child to Jeff's parents. Anyone who knew Jeff, knew that family was everything to him.

When Jeff took Darlene Durkee to be his wife on May 11, 2012, he not only got a wife, he inherited her entire family. Their love for Jeff is beyond words. Jeff also got the pleasure of becoming a great parent, role model and mentor to Darlene's two sons; Spencer and Vincent. Jeff spent countless hours teaching Vincent the tricks of the trade in woodworking. Together they made tables, dressers, kitchen cupboards, again another special bond was formed. Vincent plans to carry on Jeff's wishes, to continue to use the skills Jeff taught him.

Jeff will always be remembered for his generous and kind heart.

Jeff's true love was his love for the outdoors, snowmobiling was his passion. Anyone who knew him, knew where you could find Jeff, if he wasn't on his snowmobile he would be working on his snowmobile, or someone else's. Jeff also restored several antique snowmobiles which he treasured. He never missed a snowmobile show. He was a past owner of a machine shop many years ago, a trade he enjoyed very much.
Jeff has requested no services, he would rather be remembered by his contagious smile and his warm heart.
