My best friend Melinda’s husband Jeff Breiholz unexpectedly died in his sleep last night; he was only 43 years old.
He leaves behind his wife Melinda, their two beautiful daughters, Claire and Camille, his parents, Buck Breiholz and Anne James, his brother Brad, uncles, aunts and cousins, as well as many close friends. Please send your healing prayers and love to Melinda, Claire and Camille, and everyone else experiencing the sadness of this loss. Jeff, you will be missed by many.
Death is but crossing the world, as friends do the seas; they live in one another still.
For they must needs be present, that love and live in that which is omnipresent.
In this divine glass they see face to face; and their converse is free, as well as pure.
This is the comfort of friends, that though they may be said to die,
yet their friendship and society are, in the best sense, ever present, because immortal.

Hi Sarah,
I just found your blog when I googled Jeff’s name. I was in shock to learn of his death. I am unable to attend the memorial, but I wanted to say a small hello to you and Dell. I’ll enjoy looking at your blog.

Jeff was such an amazing, sweet, and hilariously funny person. I don’t know anyone who didn’t think he was terrific. I am so going to miss laughing with him.
His family was the light of his life. My heart goes out to Melinda and the girls.

This means so much to me, that everyone cares so much. I miss my dad so much.

Jeff will live in our hearts forever. Always remember that he watches over us, and he is happy, where he is.
Jeff, and I worked together many years ago. He was one of the kindest people I have ever met. I never forgot Jeff, and decided to look him up to see where he was in life. I was very moved by his passing. He will always, have a warm, and special place in my heart. Miss you very much Jeff. God bless you my friend!
