I don't even know where to begin. As the oldest sibling, the hardest part is supposed to be paving the way. Being the one that breaks mom and dad's heart and gets the first initial punishment. However, I'm finding the hardest part is saying goodbye. My brother Jeffrey Shoebottom passed away unexpected yesterday at the young age of 28. 

Jeffrey was a simple man. Which coincidentally was one of his favorite songs. He was selfless, fun loving, and had the most gentle soul. He passed me up in height years ago but was a gentle giant. Jeffrey was the type of person that had you laughing and loving life. He could carry the weight of the world on his shoulders and still stop to help a complete stranger.  

Jeffrey leaves behind his parents, sisters and 3 young children as well as his longtime girlfriend. Any proceeds will go toward Jeffreys funeral costs and anything left will go to his children to reassure that they have what they need during these grieving times.  

We want to thank you all for your kind words and prayers at this time.
