Jeff, or “Mutt” as we affectionately called him, sang on a track we recorded together back when he was crashing at my apartment in ‘04. Some of the other songs he wrote are still on my playlist today. Those were some good times. Prayers and peace to his family.

My most sincere condolences to you. I didn't know Jeff, but anyone who loves music and animals is someone to be missed, indeed.
I did not know Jeff personally but i knew his parents well, Sonny shared several of his pieces
of music he had composed, such a great musician. Words can not say how my heart hurts for the family, but they are in my thoughts daily.God be with them❤️
Sonny and Elaine you're in my thoughts and prayers. So sorry for your loss.
I knew Jeff for 20+ years and lived with him several times during his "walk abouts" to Austin, TX. While I will certainly remember his musical savantness fondly and enviously, it was his heart, emotional depth, generosity, and loyalty I will remember most. He stood by me during some of my darkest times and showed me true unconditional love and support. He was was much more a brother to me than my own. The hole left by his passing is certainly equivalent to the amount of love I have for him and what a wonderful human being he was. While there are far too many amazing memories we had to share even a percentage, I will say that anytime I here M83, I will immediately think of him as he used to play it on my piano every morning to wake me up. It was one of our favorite inside jokes. I love and miss him so very much and I know I am one among so many, that is the truest testament to how great a soul he was.
