"With a heavy heart and tears in my eyes I want to let you know our youngest son Jeff passed away unexpectedly this week. He was loved by all and loved making art in his studio in Portland. I want to thank everyone for your kind words. It is so nice to see how much Jeff is loved. Kathy & I will miss his wit and humor so much. Please help us wish him a wonderful journey in his next big adventure."

Jeff Fontaine died unexpectedly and suddenly of a heart attack. For those who knew and loved him, he was a wonderful force, a lovely soul, a remarkable person, a forever friend, an inspried spirt, a remarkable artist, bigger than life with an infectious laugh. He made people smile and feel loved. There are so many stories of Jeff and the impact he's had on your lives, and he is gone much too soon.

Kathy and Terry have lost their youngest son and Ryan has lost his brother. They are experiencing grief that no parent should ever have to experience. 

The last thing we want them to have to think about is all the expenses that they are incurring as they sort out the details of Jeff's life while they grieve and mourn his death. Please consider contributing to this fund to  help Kathy and Terry, who we love dearly.

With much love and thanks,
