Feels like a throat punch to my heart
So, I thought today was going to be just another Sunday of lounging around and netflixing. I don't think I have ever been so wrong in my life. To start with, Facebook reminded me of my memories. I happened to click on a friends link and decided to follow another link to my very first girlfriends sisters page. Its random how I got there, but I blame facebook.
To my shock, I saw that her sister had passed on the 22nd of November. I was shocked because I knew that she wasn't that old. I reached out to an old mutual acquaintance and found out it was pretty sudden and unexpected. That had me in some kinda mood. Because of that, I began to text and email friends and check in and make sure then were okay.
I got a text message from a close colleague I used to work with at a previous job.
Beck: "whats shakin CB"
Me: "Not much just wanted to say hello. Had a wake up call today. Found out first girlfriends sister just passed away. So sad...she was young"
Beck: "Its amazing how it puts things into perspective huh? Kind of like Fleeger"
Me: Wait what..is he okay?"
Beck: He passed away at the end of November. I thought you knew"
We continued our conversation. I shared some photos with her about a trip we had done together in cabo.
I added most all of the photos that I had of Jeff. What can I say about this guy. We didn't see each other that much, but when we did, he always made me laugh and in some way, he always tried to help if I was down. Of all the cats I worked with and for, Jeff Fleeger was grade a number 1. He was funny quirky and lived as most of us only dreamed to. He was a friend and a good guy. I remember when my fiance Fatima and I moved to Florida and how be bent over backwards to welcome us and show us around. He only had a mean word to say about the assholes in the world and for the most part I agreed with him.
When I saw this video, i lost my shit. I don't know that I will be the same, but if Jeff made me do anything to stop feeling sorry for myself, this video surely did that. I would like to give a special thanks to Gregg King for putting this together---absolutely brilliant

I love you Jeff where ever you are. You made my journey into the TD world a little easier with that first trip to the bahamas in 2001. The laughs, the talks, the beers and the smiles . I hope to see you again...
