Jeff was one of my favorite co workers at Western. I always knew exactly what he was thinking and he never sugarcoated his opinions! I loved our conversations and missed them once the Western staff disbursed to other schools. Jeff was an incredible teacher, mentor, and friend.

I gratuaded from Western High School 5 years ago. Mr. Smith was the teacher that helped me understand so many things about the world. Encouraged me to dig deeper, learn as much as I can do that I could be prepared for everything. He made students feel smart, and important, he never gave up on us. He will be greatly missed. I'm sorry so very sorry for your loss Karlee Sorensen Western High School 2008-2012

I was a student of Jeff's for both U.S. History and World History at Western HS from 2003-2005. He had a phenomenal influence on the way I study, learn, interact with people, and coincidentally, teach my students. He was a beacon of candor and honesty and I always admired him. I hope you are able to find peace.

Mr.Smith was for sure one of my favorite teachers. One I will not forget. You were able to tell how much he cared for his students. He was always making everyone laugh with his great personality. I saw him as a father figure. You know that teacher that makes you want to strive because you don't want to disappoint because he saw something in you. He even got the respect from the "bad" kids. High school kids are mean and for a teacher to get the respect from all that kids that jist shows you right there how of an amazing teacher he was. Mr.Smith we love you and you will not be forgotten. My condolence to Mr.Smith family and friends. This world lost a very great person.

Thinking of you and your family every day, Santa, and hope that the love of friends and family, no matter how far away some of us are, brings you strength and comfort. This was a beautiful obituary; I never got to meet him, but you were so blessed to have 23 years of united souls. "Those we hold most dear never truly leave us ... they live on in the kindnesses they showed, the comfort they shared and the love they brought into our lives."

Mr. Smith was my favorite teacher! He inspired me and motivated me so much and is the reason I'm in school to become a teacher. He will forever be missed.

I was a student in Mr. Smith's US History and World History classes at Western High School. He was without a doubt one of the best teachers I've ever had, and I am incredibly saddened to hear about his passing. His passion for teaching was clearly evident to all of his students, and participating in his classes had a significant impact on my desire to pursue higher education, and without a doubt inspired my interest in history and politics. I was never a great student, but Mr. Smith never gave up on me and pushed me to succeed in his classes. More than anything else, Mr. Smith showed me that learning could be fun, and he was a major factor in my decision to attend college despite my original intentions not to. Thank you Mr. Smith for being such an exceptional teacher and for making such a positive impact on my life, my heart goes out to his family and friends, you will be truly missed.

A great teacher. He always stopped by my office and said Good Morning and sometimes would stop by on his prep and visit. He will be missed.

I'm so saddened by this news! Jeff was an amazing teacher and one I will never forget! He made history fun and interesting! To this day I still talk about him and I graduated 12 years ago! He used to always show this movie about the Holocaust and I would cry like a baby every time. And the last time he showed that movie I remember him walking past my desk and setting the entire box of tissues on my desk for me! It was such a sweet gesture that he remembered and I still remember that so clearly to this day. He was so kind and a great teacher! He will be greatly missed! I'm so sorry for your loss!!

There is an endless list of reasons why Mr. Smith was so important to me and everyone around him. He was not only my favorite teacher ever and my favorite coach ever but he was also a great life coach. He had helped me through a lot and had taught me many life lessons. He was an amazing teacher, coach, and friend. I will miss him greatly. A kind person such as he does not deserve a horrible disease like ALS. My most sincere apologies, Katie M

He will be truly missed, deepest condolences to his loved ones. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

A bit lost for words Santa but just to let you know thinking of you, Zac and Hannah at this tough time. I hope the memorial service gives Jeff the send off he deserves and you can find cause to celebrate his life. He achieved so much and I know his legacy will live on. Having met him and reading through other messages he really does seem to be a very special person. I will certainly miss sharing a joke, chatting politics, comparing battleships and answering his inqusitive questions. He was also a great host and cook when myself and Marc stayed with you back in November 2014. Clare and I will say a little prayer for you all when we go to bed later. Much love. Lee
