I received a message today from a close family friend that Jeff passed away over the weekend.
No details but many of you knew he had been diagnosed with Kidney cancer just over a year ago.
Jeff was a great man and an asset to our community and he will be missed.
Rest in Peace my friend.
Jim
I have offer assistance in what ever his wife/family needs and the family friend (Kevin) will be letting me how and when I can contact his wife.
I will pass on what I learn.

I'm very sad. Jeff was a great guy. I'm glad Andyrew and I were able to get him driving his 914 again before he passed...

Very sad to hear about Jeff.
We spent some time together at the WCR and at Ron & Glenn's.
Good guy. He will be missed.

I agree, Great guy! He had a huge passion for his car as well as the community.
Somewhere I have a video of him driving the car.. I have to go through my files.

Didnt know him personally but my prayers go out to the family. He was obviously loved by many

Sad to hear I've been thinking recently about how Jeff was doing. Last I saw him was Marks going away barbi but my memory will be Lake Tahoe WCR when he was healthy. Condolences to his wife and family. If there is anything I can do to help out please let me know.
Posted by: jack20 Jun 15 2016, 11:38 PM
I'm very sad to read this news. He posted a couple months ago and I was hopeful that he was in remission. I met Jeff at a 914 breakfast shortly after I bought my car. Soon after I went out to his place for some parts. I was so impressed with his knowledge, generosity and willingness to help a fellow enthusiast. It was only weeks later that he was diagnosed.
Life is precious. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

I met Jeff when he came to Durango for Red Rocks Classic a few years ago. Nice guy for sure.
God's Speed.

Oh man. That's terrible news. Rest in Peace, Jeff. You fought a long hard battle. I knew Jeff thru this site and our simultaneous conversion threads. I last saw Jeff at one of the last OG GnR's and gave him a ride as I had finished mine. He was one of those guys you like immediately upon meeting. And to McMark, Mike and Andrew: thank all of you for helping Jeff realize his dream.
He will be missed.

Sad News. He was a Great Guy and will be missed. RIP Jeff...

This is especially sad. He gave me some parts and in my mind I kept a note to find some way to repay the favor. Now it's too late. A good guy and a real gentleman.

RIP, If it wasn't for Jeff I wouldn't have a 914 on the road today. An all around good guy and 914 enthusiast, sad

Godspeed Jeff.
Jeff was my partner in "grime" at the Durango RRC. He helped with my kinked fuel line and we stayed back and enjoyed Jim's hospitality as you can see in Mike's pics. We then traveled back to SLC and took the long and scenic way home. Had a great ride...

This one hurts! Jeff was a great guy, a father, a husband, and a guy that fully embraced our hobby only to be cut short. I last saw him at McMarks goodbye fest and both him and his wife were just great people. My sincerest condolences.

Knowing it was coming he sold me things he had held onto. This Worldkeeps showing us that is what we do, for awhile. Thanks, Jeff.
Posted by: ThePaintedMan Jun 16 2016, 06:57 PM
Sorry to say I never met Jeff. But he always seemed like a positive guy, up until his last post in April. I'm just so tired of losing good folks, but as Robert Earl Keen wrote... "the road goes on forever... and the party never ends." Rest in peace Jeff.
Posted by: larryM Jun 16 2016, 11:21 PM
ouch! - a good guy - i had no clue his health was waning
some of us (like me) are gettin' older enuf to consider this a clarion to seriously start getting out of the old-914 hobby - time to turn it over to the millennials

I remember Jeff from the 2014 WCR at Lake Tahoe. It was my birthday that weekend and he gave me a something for my birthday. It was long, kinda fat and rolled in some kind of paper. Great stuff. Another great guy, gone before his time. RIP
Posted by: oldschool Jun 17 2016, 11:55 PM
Wow I meet him when he came down to pick up a 3.0 from some guy in L.A.
I really couldn't help him much, Very cool kat.
So sorry to hear.

I don't think Jeff ever missed a Sacramento Porsche Family Reunion event. In this shot from five years ago he had driven his father's Boxster. You can see him with his back to the camera... At one event, after we had all done the donut thing, we drove out to his house in Galt and had the most amazing BBQ... He will be missed.

Jeff's wife has put his car up for sale for far less than its worth. $23500.00 I'd place the value at over $30000.00.

Aw man, someone buy it! That's a great car. Otherwise it'll be another one that gets flipped after a member passes. YOU CAN'T BUILD IT FOR THAT.
Posted by: wes Jun 22 2016, 06:37 PM
I believe the six conversion was done right by McMark on the 2.7 motor then Jeff later pulled it for the present motor which I believe is a 3.0 or possibly 3.2. Jeff new his stuff and it seems he built the engine, wish I had the $$

Should help the widow out and see if it could be eBay'd Not that I would want to pay more, but it would be nice if she could appreciate the value of what he has done with the car. All those bills she may or may not have seen, but to help her get more out of it. If anyone is local and she would want the help.

Very nice idea Mark. You just never know with e-bay though. I might suggest that someone here show up and pay full price, no negotiating. Just pay and drive away. You would be highly respected here and still get a great deal. I would hate for someone to take advantage of his family's lack of knowledge and get it even cheaper. It's the sorting part that you can't put a price on. Hours of checking gauges, pressures, temperatures, looking for leaks, etc, etc. All that is done.
PS I am not in the hunt for this car. Just looking out for Jeff's family like many of us are.
Back on track...I already miss my monthly "how ya doing" PM with Jeff. He always said he was doing pretty well. Great attitude right to the end.
Side note: the first one I sent I accidentally titled "Hows ya dong?". He didn't reply for a few days which was awkward
. Luckily he thought it was funny.
Posted by: tygaboy Jun 23 2016, 09:20 AM
So sorry to hear about Jeff. Didn't know him but anyone who generates all the great comments was surely a great guy.
Feels awkward but I am interested in his car.
Can anyone help me get in contact with his family? Or get them my contact info?

Chris,
My wife is in contact with Jeff's wife. She is as wonderful as Jeff was. She has asked us to help with the sale of his car. Give me a call at your convenience.
As all have stated Jeff was a GREAT guy and would help anyone out with anything. Now it's time to return the favors.
RIP my friend.
Posted by: Jeffs9146 Jun 23 2016, 01:32 PM
I always enjoyed the time I spent with Jeff. He spent a lot of money on my stuff and was always up for a drive down to look for something he may or may not need.
RIP Jeff, you are in our thoughts!

I think Jeff's wife, Deborah, has decided to keep it.

Hi fellow 914 enthusiast & Jeff friends 
Let me introduce myself, Deborah Stroud Jeff Strouds wife
I have joined the group with Mark, Lennie & Sandy advice for several reasons they wanted me to see how Jeff was regarded by his fellow 914 friends & YES I have decided to keep the Mistress, so I will need some advice and plan to learn more about her. She was Jeff pride and joy, I just cant let her go
It has taken me several days to get through this thread and respond without breaking down. I will make this as brief as I can. Just don't wanna go without saying how wonderful this is to know you knew my husband as he truly was & let you know how much he regarded you all in same, he always told me how wonderful this group of people were genuine helpful people.
With a heartfelt wonderful feeling to see here that others saw in my husband what I saw 32 years ago when we first met. He was my knight in shining armor, my boss, my best friend, my adviser, my mentor, my love, a wonderful son husband father & grandfather, a hard working honest loving kind generous man I will miss forever and a day till we meet again.
Jeff did not want services, we both are not fond of funerals or memorials rarely attended them brought too much sadness for us only went if we felt the need for that special person. Want you to know he talked many times of having an event to celebrate his achievements of his 914 & shop, sadly it never happened....but you all have made this happen for him! I know he will be here with us and smiling from above on us all that day.
I thank you for all your support kindness to us both then and now. The event will be bittersweet for me but I will do my best to embrace the sweet thoughtful kindness generosity you all have shown for us, a wonderful group you are & grateful that Jeff was able to fulfill his 914 dream with you in it.
Yours,
Deborah

I always enjoyed the time I spent with Jeff. He spent a lot of money on my stuff and was always up for a drive down to look for something he may or may not need.
RIP Jeff, you are in our thoughts!
Im just seeing this. Been busy and away a lot. This plus loss of Ron today.....fuck.
The pic in your post was a clinic I did up near Sac.
