I just found out about Jeff's passing. It is really sad that people can be so close for so many years and then as we get older people tend to lose touch with one's that they were close to. I'm truely sorry to hear about Jeff and I will keep his family in my prayers. God Bless all of you! Rest easy my old friend! Stoney Oglesby

Today we are grieving for the loss of our friend Jeff. A person who has touched so many by the responses on this site, but we knew that already.

Jeff just know that you will be missed by all who knew you. While we are sad for our loss, we are comforted knowing what you have gained.

To Carl, Carolyn, Candy and your entire family our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time.

So Sorry for Your Loss,

Our deepest sympathy goes out to Candy and Jeff's entire family. May you be comforted in knowing that our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Jeff was a warrior, a good man, and a true friend and he will certainly be missed by all that knew him. We "fans" were the lucky ones.

May God's grace touch you in a special way and uphold your spirits in the days to come.

We love you Jeff!

I am so sorry for your loss. I did not personally know Jeff, but had kept up with him through Keith Jinright who had asked me to pray for Jeff several months ago. I have prayed for him throughout his sickness, and will continue to pray for his family and friends in your loss. You have my deepest sympathy, and my heart goes out to you.
I trust that the grace of God,which truly is all-sufficient, and the strength of God which is made perfect in our weakness, uphold you in your loss. And may the peace of Jesus, which passes human understanding, keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
With deepest sympathy and prayers,
Sue Parsons (friend and co-worker of Keith Jinright)

I am deeply saddened by the loss of our dear friend, Jeff. I couldn't sleep between 11:00 and 12:00 that night just before he was taken to the hospital. I was praying for comfort and peace to Jeff and his family, not knowing what was about to take place. God was with you and still is. I will continue to pray for your family during this difficult time.
We love you!

Jeff Ryder will be remember to me as a great guy, friend, son, brother, and most of all a great uncle. Jeff had an amazing laugh and it always made me smile when I heard him laugh. I never got the opprotunity to express to him how much he ment to me and how much I loved him. He always would pick on me, but I know it was his way of showing how much he loved me. It's amazing to sit and read every night what all of his friends and supporters have said. It's nice to know that so many people care about such a great guy. This is going to be a hard time for our whole family and I apprecaiate all the prayers that are going up for us.

Rest In Peace Uncle Jeff.... I Love you and miss you dearly!!!!

My little bro-in-law Jeff was a very special person, and a very good brother-in-law. We didn't get to see him enough, but when we did get together, we could talk guns, and police stuff, and accidents, and sometimes just sit and not talk at all. Jeff marched to a different drummer, and he carved his own path. He will be missed by this sister-in-law, as well as all his many friends and family. I love you Jeffro, and will miss you more than anyone can know. Love, Leah

I just want the entire family and friends to know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Just look to God for your strength and comfort. He will get you through this difficult time. I look back and remember when I use to hang out with the gang, several years ago. Jeff was always there and loved to talk. He was always so friendly to me and I thought of him as a brother. He will be greatly missed.

With Love,

Jeff wamted me to teach him how to play the bagpipes....I really didn't know how then,...I still don't....and I got wind that I was thought of to maybe play them for Jeff at the visitation. I still don't know all of how to play them. The only way I can pay a tribute to Jeff is to actually take up lessons during the upcomming year and play them every December in memory of him. I, along with his immediate family will miss him.
