Help Jeff Garmany Walk Again After a Tragic Hit & Run

I’m writing this with a heavy heart on behalf of my dear friend Jeff Garmany, who was the victim of a horrific hit-and-run motorcycle accident on the morning of June 9th, 2025, just before 6AM at Fruitdale Avenue & Southwest Expressway in San Jose, CA.

Jeff was riding his motorcycle to work when a dark-colored car suddenly pulled out and made an illegal U-turn in front of him. There was no time to stop and Jeff slammed into the car, the driver left him there in the street, broken, alone, and barely conscious. We are actively working with the San Jose Police Department to identify the driver. Any information helps.

His Injuries:

Jeff has already undergone two major surgeries, one on his wrist, and one on his neck to stabilize the spinal damage. He has a broken neck, with severe spinal damage. A shattered wrist, a punctured lung and most heartbreakingly he cannot feel his legs or fingers. He is alert and responsive, but the road ahead is uncertain. This was a life-changing injury, and the fight to regain even the smallest function will be long, painful, and incredibly expensive.

Who Jeff Is:

Jeff is the definition of heart. He’s spent his life on the ice playing hockey, working hard, loving deeply, and spending every moment he can in nature. He is kind. He is gentle. He is the most positive person you’ll ever meet and right now, he’s facing the hardest challenge of his life.

All funds raised will go directly toward Jeff’s medical care, rehabilitation, mobility needs, home modifications, and helping his wife and family stay afloat during this life-altering time.

By God’s grace, Jeff is still with us. While the road ahead is long and uncertain, we have faith that he will walk again. We are holding onto hope, trusting in God’s healing power, and standing firm in the belief that miracles happen every day.

“But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,” declares the Lord. — Jeremiah 30:17

We are doing everything we can but we need all the help, love, and prayers we can get. Please donate, share, and if you know anything about the driver, please come forward. Jeff didn’t deserve this. No one does. Let’s show him he’s not alone. Let’s help him heal. From all of us who love him, thank you.
