Jeffrey attended St. Thomas More Grade School, followed by Rockhurst High School, and later attended the University of Missouri, Kansas City. While attending St. Thomas More, he was a server at mass and was involved in many activities growing up. Jeffrey was a Boy Scout, an Eagle Scout and Trail Blazer. He was involved in theater and received a varsity letter as a manager for Rockhurst High School?s soccer team.

Jeffrey enjoyed working as a server and manager at Cactus Grille, mainly because of his coworkers and his loyal customers. Working with his brother in law Will Hathaway, he became an excellent painter. He also worked for his father, George, at Shelter Insurance. His one and only passion, though, was making people laugh, and one day becoming a comedian.

Jeffrey was extremely talented, growing up playing the piano and guitar. He recently began taking piano lessons from his older sister Rachel Williams. Not only did he love watching movies and listening to music, he also spent a lot of time making funny videos with his friends.

To know Jeffrey is to love Jeffrey. Jeffrey was a genuine and kind son, brother, and friend. He was loved by so many people and touched many lives. From his example in life, Jeffrey would want everyone to be happy, have love and mercy on everyone, and enjoy every day to the fullest.
