What a joy it was to have grown to know Jeff while attending North Mecklenburg High School and youth group at Hopewell Presbyterian Church. I was struck by Jeff’s determination, hard work, and especially his love of friends. He became like family.
My condolences go out to the Blythe family. May The Lord comfort you.

I talked to Jeff on ham radio and in person if I ran into him at a hamfest somewhere.
I'll remember the good times we had, both in person and on the radio.
The family has my deepest sympathy in the loss of Jeff.

I would like to extend my heartfelt condolences to the Blythe family on the loss of Jeff. Even though I have not seen him for a number of years, he was often in my thoughts as I remember growing up in Long Creek becoming a teenager, learning to drive ,our escapades that always included Dolores, Karen, Hoyt, Phyllis, Cathy and others. I will surely remember him fondly as others will. I am sorry I will be unable to attend the service but I will be thinking of everyone I’m sure it will be beautiful.
We have good memories of a strong friendship with Jeff, especially during the late eighties while living near Clover. He and my husband enjoyed sharing their passion for Amateur Radio, passing their enthusiasm along to our young son. Quite the prankster, I still laugh thirty years later over Jeff’s Halloween tricks and antics, which we all enjoyed. Jeff was a giver, with his volunteer work as well as with his knowledgeable assistance with electrical matters. Our family was blessed to have known him.
With sincere condolences,
Sharon Cooper-Stone
In my early days on ham radio I used to talk to Jeff every so often. He was a
character, but I always thought a lot of him. He was A-OK. And know that you
will see Jeff again when it comes your time to go to Heaven, never more to part.
My deepest sympathy in your loss.
