It is with a truly heavy heart that I am writing this today. Never in a million years did I expect a tragedy so great to come upon the Sodano Family. We are all grieving the unexpected loss of an incredible friend, husband, dad and “Bearclaw” to my children. Many reading this will know who Jeff Sodano was as he is one who is not easily forgotten. Jeff made everyone feel at home and could offer sound advice without hesitation for any given situation. He was funny, witty, smart, loving, kind, and most of all he was a faithful believer in his Lord and Savior. We all know where Jeff is today and find peace in that, however he leaves behind a grieving wife of nearly 28 years and his four incredible sons. Lisa and her sons will be navigating a new normal after the suddenness of this horrific event and the last thing I would want any of them to worry about is finances. Unfortunately due to the unexpected circumstances, the family was unable to set up life insurance prior to Jeff’s passing. Therefore no donation is too small and I know that the Sodano family will be eternally grateful for any support given. Above all else, please Pray for peace and healing for all involved. Jeff will leave the biggest hole in all of our hearts. He truly was the best of his time. Thank you all.

Jeff will be survived by his wife Lisa, four sons: Nick, Sam, Anthony, Joey, and of course myself, Matt and our children who lovingly referred to him as Bearclaw.

100% of donations will go directly to the Sodano family. GoFundMe does charge processing fees on our end so if any wish to avoid these for the Sodano’s, donations can also be sent directly via Venmo @ChelsyNilson or given in person via cash/check to myself. I will compile all of this and get it to the family.
