Jeffrey… words can’t really explain the emotions running rampant right now. You were far too good of a man, and far too young to be gone. But you live on in everyone who loved you and who knew you.
Aunty Sheila, I love you so so much. No words can make this any easier, so I am not going to try and pretend that they will. But just know that I will always be here for you and I will always love you. You are an amazing Godmother. You will get through this, because I know how strong you are. If you need anything, let me know.
With all of my love,
Lauren
Jeffrey I knew you as a little guy. I will never forget how you so loved your Ninja Turtles and Ghostbusters. You could talk forever about them and knew everything about them as well. I remember how you wanted that Ghostbusters powerpack so badly. I wish I got the chance to know you as an adult because it sounds like you grew to be a fine young man. Life is too short sometimes but you touched a lot of people in your short time here. God Speed little man.
R.I.P. Dear Angel. You will be missed by many
There is nothing that i can say that can take the pain away, But i can say that i love the Flahive and Hatcher Family like my own. They took me in as a sister/ freind/ family. I remember how wonderful Jeffs music sounded when we spent a christmas out in Wisconsin. Laughing/Joy. Im glad that i got to spend time with you, and i just wanted to say im so sorry for your loss and i love you and will always be there for your family.
Oh my darling boy. There will never be words to express the sadness in my heart and in my soul. Since you were a baby, you were such an angel. When I had Lauren, your Mom and I thought it just natural that we should arrange a marriage between you and her and bind our families for life. It was a 20 year on going way to tease you and her, that and my pride that you remembered how to sit properly in chairs at Baba’s house. So many years of memories weighing on me as I remember that beautiful blonde haired boy who loved his Ninja turtles and Ghostbusters.
Your Grandma Elaine has her arms around you and you are safe in her embrace. Baba and Nony are there with her along with so many others that have gone before you. You are loved, you mattered, you touched so many lives, and this is what angels do. We will miss you but we know that you are watching over everyone right now. I know you are at your Mom’s side holding her up, because I don’t know where she is finding the strength and it must be because she is your mother. We will not forget you little one. It’s raining here in Chicago today, the weather is matching the tears we are all crying. I will do my best to care for your Mother, as this is the hardest thing she will ever do. You are loved. You are missed. You will not be forgotten.
You will be missed Jeff! My sympathy goes out to anyone that has been affected by his untimely death.

My prayers to the family and loved ones in this time of pain.
MY prayers go to you and your family I know you don’t know who I am I was the one who found Jeff the night of his wreak and called 911 .
I remember the first time I meet Jeff when Mike had him come out. He was so open minded and was just like Mike. I remember the fun they had together and the Jack Ass show they watched, where Jeff, Chris, Cory, Tylor, Mike, and who ever else wanted to do it was so scary. But they loved doing it. And Jeff laugh always was wonderful. And has a place in my heart always even his and Mikes favorite saying, “What did we do?”. I keep hearing his voice over and over in my head. I will never forget when Mike took me to hear his Best Friend play in Wis Dells. And I was ill with my Multiple Sclerosis and still came. And Jeff deicated a song to me and I cried. It was so awesome that he sang the song to me. I will always remember the fun times Mike and him had and the time Jeff stayed with us for a couple of months when Jeff stayed by Mikes side. He helped Mike out as Mike did for him as well. He was always there and Jeff and Mike being best friends you can not change what they did. The entire group JEFF, Mike, Chris, Cory, and the rest were best friends and will always be. Jeff came to my home this year on September 12th sang songs to Joe my youngest before midnight when Joe turned 21. Jeff, and a few others took him out at midnight to celebrate his birthday. I will miss you dearly JEFF and you will always be in my heart. You were an awesome person. And I know Mike will miss you a lot. And Joe as well he looked at you as a big brother like Mike. And Sheila, Dan, Wendy and the rest of the family I am so sorry for your lost of a wonderful son.
i remember the first time Jeffrey hosted open mic. i was so shy i wouldn’t get up and play drum set at first ….he was so wonderful that he called me up to play a song with him. haha the best day ever sense then he came over and jammed at my place and the open mic’s he hosted i had the pleasure of getting to know jeff. what a bright and soul full guy i love you jeff and I’m very sorry for everyones loss just remember jeff is looking down from above and watching over all of us now
Yesterday was one of the saddest days in my life. Not only did I lose a cousin, but a bestfriend, and a bond that could be compared to as if we were siblings. In life we tend to take for granted the people we love, and I hope that in life Jeffrey realized how much he meant and was loved by me and others. I feel as if a person who was so caring, loving and good shall be missed greatly. Jeffrey James Hatcher you will always have a special place in my heart where you shall forever live on. Aunt Sheila I give to you my love and deepest condolences in your time of need I pray that the lord shall carry you through this pain and heartache. I cannot be with you in person but know that I am with you in heart, and love.
Although we can’t be there for you, we carry your loss of Jeffrey in our hearts. We are devastated by your loss. We send our love and hugs and kisses to you. If there is anything I can do please let me know I will do everything in my power to help even tho we are miles apart. With all our love Momand Dad Grandma andGrandpa. We love you. Stay strong
There are no words to express how much I feel the loss of Jeff…I remember him in my household as a youngster…always smiling and happy….he loved my cooking and I loved to cook for him….never do I remember him being unhappy or without a smile on his face….Thank you Lord Jesus
