Honoring Jeb: Help Us Grow a Living Tribute

Jan 2, 2025, our hearts took an unexpected blow, and we have been sifting through the rubble of a precious life lost ever since. Jebadiah, or Jeb to most, is our cherished son, and it is painful to speak of him in the past tense. Jeb is a beloved brother, an adored soulmate, a favorite uncle, and a genuine friend. To know him is to know kindness, laughter, and an open nonjudgmental heart. His hugs were legendary, and now we are desperately clinging to the mere memory of them.

Jeb still reminds us to find the smile and the silly even when life gets tough. He is an inspiration to keep growing and learning about yourself no matter where you are in life. Jeb continues to show us there is beauty in the chaos, strength in the vulnerable, and room for everyone to be themselves joyously. Jeb is teaching us still, that it is ok to ask for help even when you feel like you are alone.

We are asking for help to raise funds to cover the multitude of deathcare costs, help us plan a memorial garden, ease this journey for his loved ones, and hopefully have a celebration of Jeb for everyone to come together and remember all that made him so magical. Our goal is to alleviate the expensive burdens while also creating a place for Jeb's energy to continue growing.

We have chosen terramation instead of cremation so that we will have soil to grow new life from Jeb's energy. We dream of being able to hug a Jeb tree, breathe in some Jeb herbs and flowers, and watch as color and life bloom from the darkest parts of our hearts.

We are grateful to those that have reached out and offer patience while we navigate through this difficult storm. We hope that with these donations, we can invite everyone to join us in planting some new life from the magic of Jeb. Any amount you can donate is deeply appreciated.
