My best memory of Jeff is one night I hung out with him at his apartment in Newport News. There were railroad tracks behind the place so he took me to where they went under an overpass. He described to me in perfect detail that standing there as that train passed was like being inside a cloud during a thunderstorm! That train never came but it was ok because it was a good excuse to sit there for a couple of hours in seclusion and talk about life and God.
I will miss those talks. Your son has touched more people than you will ever know.

I am sorry for your loss and pray that God gives you peace after this storm has passed.

Jeanette and Steve---Your family truly touched our hearts years ago when we lived in Newport News and you are definitely in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Peggy & Al Kitchen (Augusta, GA)

After knowing Jeff for 10 years or so I had the total pleasure of working along side of him. We would work landscaping but would dream aloud together of starting a market garden. He had an immense love of God's creation and a childlike wanderlust that followed. I moved to Florida to lay the groundwork, and the dream we shared began to become a reality. He belongs in a garden and now he will walk with God in the heavenly gardens as he always wanted. Intimacy with God without fear, pain, sadness or the earthly pressure of making money that he never liked. I will always hold him so dear to me and as the dream we shared together will continue to unfold. he will always have a place in it. I will miss him so much but his legacy will be remembered through our dream being fulfilled. I am returning to Florida and will name the current garden "Jefferson's hope garden". Good and uplifting stories of him will be told to my children and to those that appreciate what his dream was will carry on. We will see him again. Now these three remain, faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love. I will always love you my brother

Stallings Family,

I am so very sorry for your loss. I was just sharing with my own kids the pictures of your wonderful family and the memories I have from growing up at FBC Newport News with you all. I'm left wondering what has come of this world we live in where precious lives are taken with no regard but at the same time so thankful that this is not it for those of us who proclaim Jesus as our Lord and Savior. I will be praying for your family through this difficult time.

I want to share my deepest condolences to the Stallings family! You have been in my thoughts all this week. I am so sorry for what happened to Jeff! I, myself am incredibly heartbroken and saddened by losing one of my best friends. He guided me through a lot of tough situations in my life through the years. He made me a better person by his wisdom and advice. Jeff always put others before him and spread the most positivity he could upon everyone that he could. He was such a wonderful, son, brother, uncle and friend and will be missed so incredibly much by all who knew him and crossed his path. I know he is with me and all of us still everyday. I see him in the beautiful sunset sky he loved so much. We all love you so much Jeff!

My deepest condolences and prayers go out to the Stallings family, and friends who loved him. Though I only knew him through a mutual friend, he touched my life with his gentle nature, sweet spirit, and kindness. He always had a warm smile to give, and was a true gentleman.
