This is absolutely the worst way to start this day. I played twice with Jeff in the last six months and he was absolutely the nicest, funniest person I have me in a really long time. A few weeks ago he had my brothers and I rolling on the floor of the Sunset greenroom.
We're still bringing up jokes he made. His voice was beautiful, his lyrics were great and he was the kind of guy that you got to know really quickly.
I hung out with him two times and I can't stop crying as I read this and that is how much of a connection he made with me and my family.
