I remember being in elementary school and hanging out in the park. He was always good to me. A really good friend! He will be sorely missed. My condolences to his children and mother. Prayers going up for you all.
So sorry room hear this. Condolences to the family.
I delivered papers to the Slater Home, I was always jealous the music was playing so loud, (parents were deaf). They were very nice people. Jeff and I are same age, Sorry for the loss.

My fondest memories of Jeff were the times when we’d come and visit Uncle Albert and Aunt Iva and whenever you were there, you always took the time to talk with me, Alan and Kim, took us out sometimes in Speedway and was just so much fun to hang out with. You are missed Jeff but all the wonderful memories of you live on in our hearts. I love you cousin, rest in peace. I’m holding you all in my heart and prayers. Darla Lennox (Hocker)
I attended grade school through high school with Jeff. He was always so kind to me. May he rest in peace in God’s loving arms. My prayers.are with his family during this difficult time. Lisa Lasiter-Kinder
My memory of him is through his son Jake Slater. He always had an unconditional love for his dad.
Sometime during the 1980s my pastor requested I present the song, The Old Rugged Cross, in sign language. Jeff met with me and patiently worked until I had it mastered. Also, Jeff loved playing games. I’m sure he and my mom, Betty, will be enjoying many rousing bouts of competition together in heaven. Terry Stewart Frazier
