Jeff loved all things horses and outdoors including snowmobiling, and four-wheeling. He spent time working in the rodeo and caring for trail horses, wild horses, and horses of his own over the years. Jeff always took the time to share and tell others of his love of horseback riding, fly fishing, and hunting. You could always find him in a saddle with a cowboy hat on and that's how he got the nickname Cowboy. He will always be remembered for his strong work ethic, contagious smile, and love of singing country music. His love for God, country, and his fellow man was unmatched.

He will be greatly missed by his family and all who met him along his journey and many outdoor adventures. He leaves behind many loved ones who will miss his incomparable, warm hugs.
