Jeff’s Story

Site created on June 28, 2022

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting.

Jeff/Boomer has suffered a massive subarachnoid brain bleed this morning. He is intubate (on a ventilator) and basically unresponsive. We are telling stories as we are keeping him company. Condell ED has been wonderful allowing any visitors that wish to stop by. This will not be a good outcome as we all sit by the vigil holding his hands, keeping him company, and telling Boomer stories.
We will post updates here. Thank you for all the wonderful thoughts and prayers.

Journal entry by Sharon Hopkins

We, as a family, are truly grateful and appreciative of the support we’ve received this past 1 1/2 week and I know it will continue. We know your words of offering help are not hollow. I know Jeff would have been proud of how he’s been honored. Each and every one of you have touched our hearts. Thank you to the honor guard. Thank you to Justen Funeral Home, Chaplain John, for the police honors including the bag pipes, for the military honors, Greater Round Lake Fire for flying the flag from the ladder truck, Jay with Elyte Productions for facilitating the use of Lehmann Mansion, for the staff at Maravelas. We will all continue to live our “dash” to the fullest. Go in peace our buddy!
