I am Andrea Denhart

a family member of someone we've lost to ALS

Florida


Jeff was the person who smiled at everyone. His greatest joy was making others happy. He had a gift of making others feel loved. He made our world a better place.

My big brother, Jeff was my best friend. He has played baseball and loved baseball all of his life. Our home team is the Chicago Cubs. My brother and I moved to Tampa, FL to attend college and love the Tampa Bay Rays too.

When my brother was diagnosed with ALS, we decided to LIVE. I stopped working my corporate job and we went to as many baseball games as we could. We lived in FL so our entire spring was filled with the most memorable Spring training games. We traveled the state and we made memories.

Jeff was the person who smiled at everyone. His greatest joy was making others happy. He had a gift of making others feel loved. He made our world a better place.

He loved baseball and our family was thrilled he was able to see his Cubbies win the World Series and celebrate before this horrific and wild fly devastating disease took him.

Thank you for reading about my hero and big brother. He is the reason I love baseball. We do not live to be forgotten and those that knew Jeff will never forget.
