Jeff’s Story

Site created on November 4, 2019

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


Jeff’s story began actually 64 years ago when he was born with a genetic condition called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. No one knew about until 2015 when the symptoms he was experiencing called for further testing. Over the last 4+ years his symptoms have become more bothersome and have begun to affect his quality of life. So, this summer it was determined it was time for surgery. 


Now at Mayo in Rochester awaiting the surgery that will take place on November 5, his spirits are good, he is believing for healing & ready to feel better! We will post details about his surgery & recovery here, so check back often and/or signup to get notifications when we do!

Journal entry by Carol Meyers

It's been almost 2 years since Jeff's surgery! We have been abundantly grateful  that we were able to have family with us at Mayo in MN. The support of our children with their spouses was incredible!

COVID became known in early 2020. After that, everything changed for hospitals, patients, families, ...! Our hearts go out to everyone who has had less than optimal experiences during their hospital stays. 

Jeff is doing well. He's back to a healthier man (prior to early 2009 when symptoms began to reveal something was amiss--we just didn't know what a huge health issue he had until years later!)

Jeff has his full sense of humor intact. He's back to enjoying yard work, long walks (hopes for 10,000 steps each day) and driving!

We have seen, do see and know we will continue to see God at work in Jeff's life. He has given excellent healthcare providers and support along the way. He has blessed us with treasured family and friends!

May God bless you!
