Jeff got ill about a week ago with the disease known to many as white spot. Little did he and his family know, that this disease was to be the ultimate downfall of little Jeffy. He fought bravely against the disibilitating disease and even though he lost some of his fin to decay he still 'swam on'.

Although Jeff was ill his struggle to live was most apparent when treatment began, his penultimate day on this earth, Jeff seemed to 'perk' up giving his father (Nick) some false hope of survival and of happy future times. Alas, this was no to be .
