Jeff Kaufman

Anyone who knew Jeff knew he was a legendary giant with a heart of gold. Everything he did was larger than life. His stories, his friendships, his sassiness, and especially his love for his people (and the ducks). It didn't take any of us long to fall in love with this man.  In fact, it's pretty impossible not to love someone so unabashedly authentic.  He was a gem. The best and rarest kind. A true wild hearted human. 

There was no mistaking if you were loved by Jeff Kaufman.  He always made sure of that. I know we are all better and stronger people because of loving and being loved by him.  His hugs, his late night texts, his random video saying hello.
 
We all know Jeff was an incredibly generous human.  He would give the shirt off of his back to make sure everyone around him were taken care of.  Whether it was someone he just met who was down and out or his oldest friend.  This man had your back. 100%.  He was everyone's biggest cheerleader and taught us all to take no shit from the world. 

A titan of love. He taught us all to love your people fiercely and openly. All.Day.Every.Day.

In this deep time of loss I would like to invite you give as little or as much as you can to help Jeff's mother Donna with end of life and medical costs.

May we all be inspired to eat more burritos, wear more flip flops and to shine brighter in Jeff's honor. 

Go Ducks.
