“Forever Loved, Never Forgotten”

The Navy Gold Star Program is eternally grateful for the sacrifice of those Service Members who have died in service to our country. To help us to never forget, we have set up this tribute page to honor and remember the memory of those lives. If you would like to honor the memory of your Sailor, Soldier, Marine, Airman or Coast Guardsman through the Navy Gold Star website please submit your thoughts and a photo.

One of Jeff’s greatest strengths was his compassion. It was rare to hear him say anything bad about anyone. He had a talent for recognizing those in need and lifting them up. Knowing him made you a better person. He led a life of service, starting at a young age. It was his desire to help others that led him to Iraq. He died in service to others, doing what he felt compelled to. He loved and was loved in return. He is dearly missed.
