There are no words that can express the relationship that I had with Jeff Ryder. For the last 10+ years Jeff was my closest friend. As most of you know, and Aynsley can attest to, Jeff and I did most everything together.
Some people did not understand why Todd could not go anywhere without Jeffro. Even Aynsley had issues with it when we first started dating. But she learned, probably the hard way, that there was an unexplainable bond between me and Jeff. And as she got to know Jeff, she learned to love him and even referred to him as her “other husband.”
I have so many memories of Jeff from as far back as elementary school up until Tuesday night. There is no way I could put them on paper.
The best way for me to explain my relation ship with Jeff is to be short and to the point.
When I could not drive, he was my ride.
When I could not see, he was my eyes.
And when I was by myself, he was there.
Even though he never said it, I think he felt he had to take care of me and that is what he did.
I will never forget him or what he meant to my life.
I am blessed to have had Jeff in my life. Not many people can say that they have a true friend that they can’t remember not having. As far back as I can remember Jeff has always been there
Jeff and I are both lucky to have a group of friends that have stayed close since school days. We all will miss Jeffro but we will still have each other and the memories of Jeff.
