Hearing that unmistakable voice on the radio winning yet another pair of concert tickets! That sparkle in his eyes as he encouraged some questionable behavior. And that laugh!!! Many happy memories with Jeff and Tina. Much love to Richelle, Cody, and Barb.

So many memories of Jeff and Tina back in the day at DCS. Many fun times and some sorrows! Richelle gave me me chicken pox at 28. Jeff took me to the Stone Temple Pilots when no one else wanted to go with me. Many fun times at the outside pool and deck. I remember Jeff always winning some type of prize whenever he entered a contest! I remember TPing tbe house with Joyce and friends. Don't remember the occasion though. So many nights hanging out and laughing. You will be missed Jeffery Whitlock, your smile, infectious laughter and ability to raise a little heck! Richelle and Cody you were his heart! Prayers to all of you at this great loss!

I am so sad to hear about Jeff's passing. We had some wonderful times with Jeff, Tina Joyce and DCS gang back in the day. He had an infectious laugh and always found a way to get into trouble(fun really). I remember the time he and I went to STP concert at Purdue. Wasn't his thing really but he did it for me. He was always the kind of guy to make sure you were ok and didn't need anything. Richelle and Cody you were his joy! Sounds like the grands were also his joy. Jeff you will be missed! Prayers to Richelle, Cody, Barb and all his family!
