Jayeff has left the building
 

I am very sad to tell you all that Jayeff passed away. I am trying to put his affairs in order. Please email if you have any info that will help me do this.:Oh crap:Oh crap:Oh crap

Omg is this for real? If it is, wow that's unreal, my deepest condolences

wow terrible news :eek2 :(

who are you ? what happened?

my deepest condolences...

is this true? :(

I don't think this is a joke. jayeff would never joke like that.

I spoke with him several times on ICQ a few months back and he told me he was terminally ill and not doing well.


wow, this really sucks. He was one of the most intelligent people in this industry and very well spoken. Nice good guy as well... rest in peace.

very true. i like his site as well carpejugular which i learned a lot about blogging.. i wish it will be still up for more months or years

he is/was one smart cookie.

Wow very sad. Condolences to his family and close friends.

oh damn - i didn't know him but always read his posts, a very intelligent man. i remember his writing about health problems in his past, hoped he was doing ok now. :(

my condolenses to his friends and family

wtf???????? damn man my condolences

eternal peace brother..

bummer :(

very smart dude.

Is this for real?

If so, I really, really hate to hear that. He was one person I would always read the posts of.

RIP friend. :(

I'm very sorry to hear that.

What happend?

What a great pity... You are missed big time. :(

I knew him online for a very very long time. It's so sad to hear this news and I'd like to send out my best wishes to his family. This is a great loss for our community.

Jayeff was a good man and someone to model yourself after... he told me over a year ago that he expected to go soon... R.I.P. Jayeff... life is short...

R.I.P.

When scanning a thread he was one of few posters that I would always stop and make sure I read his reply. Seemed like the type of person this industry needs more of, strong ethical values and not afraid to call people out who are acting recklessly within the industry.

well i was thinking the same thing but i also was wondering if jayeff made much money doing what he did - i suspect not alot, and i also have a feeling that didn't matter too much to him. this is an industry where strong ethical values will hold you back. you're competing and dealing with scumbags most of the time.

I've been trying to get in touch with him through e-mail and ICQ for a few weeks with no luck. I learned a ton about blogging by chatting with him on here and through his site. I can't even begin to say how sad I am to hear this :Oh crap RIP Jayeff...

I don't know any of his business dealings, but I had the opposite impression. Seemed like by some of his comments he had run and sold multi million dollar businesses, had the feeling though they were mainstream. I could be wrong, looks as if a few here knew him well and could comment on his business success.

very very sad! :( rip

I think he was retired a few times over from his previous life.

A very sad day...

I met jayeff on TNB somewhere around 99 when I was just a noob in the biz, he was always one of the most generous and helpful people on the board.
As many of you were aware by his always well written and insightful posts he was a very intelligent man. It's a great loss to the industry and he will truly be missed.

Sorry to hear.. best wishes to his family.

I didn't do much biz with when but had a few trades. Always seemed like a good person.

yeah i read his bio and i wasn't referring to his past careers - just what he was doing on the Net with adult stuff. he got into this he said because he needed a less stressful job because of his health problems

I am very sorry to hear this. He always brought amazing insight to any discussion. He was an extremely intelligent man and I wish him all the best on his next journey. :thumbsup

very sad news, Jayeff will be missed by many. will miss his input for sure...

Have a Guiness for jayeff.

Sad news, my deepest sympathies :(

Very sad to hear :(

RIP Jayeff

a great tragedy

A great tragedy... I understand that he had major heart issues... truly too bad.

While lots of people make a lot of noise on message boards all Jayeff ever did was make a lot of sense. He was definitely one of the gentlemen in this business and it's a pity there aren't more like him because we need his type more than we need the people who just make noise.

We just paid him & he completed cleaning up the CSS on our new dating program. I spoke with him on the phone for well over an hour & he was one of the most down to earth & respectable people I've ever talked to in this business.

He told me he was happy with the way he lived now, & that aside from the pain of his heart problems, he was happy living on that farm out in Kansas.

Rest in peace my good sir.....& have a pint with jim morrison/chris farley (give then my regards) if you guys get internet up there :thumbsup

Heres my tribute to the consummate businessman & designer

OH MY GOD :(((

I can't believe I am reading this!! Jayeff was amazing person and very helpful guy! I am so so so sorry to hear that. I'll miss him big time :( man, i can't believe :(

My condolences to his family! RIP Jayeff, you'll be missed!

Incredibly crazy. Easily one of the most well spoken people in the industry. Always very intelligent and thorough posts. I will miss his presence for sure.

I'll tip back a beer tonight.

oh man :'(

My condolences.

He will be missed for sure.

Rest in peace man :sadcrying

dammit! he rocked....still does!

Damn! Horrible news. My condolences to his family and friends. He is sure going to be missed in this industry.

RIP Jayeff, Ive read your posts on multiple boards for the last 8 years I think, and youve helped me out with various things as well, over the years, always very intelligent unbiased comments.:(

I'm shocked....

I had a short talk with him about 3 months ago and he told me about a serious long-term health problem he was facing which I feel shame now I can't recall. I won't forget the way he delivered this bad news to me, with extreme courage and I called him brave guy.

RIP brave man.

Nice, helpful man with loads of integrity.

RIP Jayeff

wow, holy shit

this sucks!

RIP DUDE!

Death and taxes.

Hope he went peacefully.

R.I.P.
