August 5, 1948 – October 13, 2015
A dear spiritual brother, a poet, a writer, a muse has dropped his physical body and taken his final Earth walk. Brian Jeffries August 5, 1948 – October 13, 2015. There is a Celebration and Paddle Out Saturday at 2:00pm at 295 Hwy A1A, Satellite Beach (Silver Sands Condo/Sea Gull Park — just south of the Pineda Causeway (404) and north of Sea Park Avenue). You are invited to bring: a vegetarian dish to share, surf board, beach chairs, a story about Brian to share. Grief is work but it doesn’t have to be grim. Sometimes when you check out of your physical body, your work takes on a new dimension.
There is no death. When I’m awake I know that. Sweet memories of sweet friends. When I tap into that Universal Mind, I know they live on and I don’t give it a second thought. While, in my mortal body, I hallucinate they are gone and I am miss them. Funny how we let our minds play tricks on us, huh? There is no death. When I’m awake I know that. Keep me awake, please.
The tide recedes but leaves behind
bright seashells on the sand.
The sun goes down, but gentle
warmth still lingers on the land.
The music stops, and yet it echoes
on in sweet refrains…..
For every joy that passes,
something beautiful remains

Get used to death. God would not stop an acorn from growing into an oak, nor a tadpole from becoming a frog. It’s been a year of losing friends. One friend commented, “this has got to stop.” I laughed so hard the water I was drinking squirted out of my nose. No disrespect to anyone who’s lost a loved one, but it’s time we began to embrace that death is part of the process. You can’t say “I’ll throw noodles and sauce and cheese in the oven at 350 for an hour but OMG, I don’t want to see lasagna at the end of it.” Embrace that death is part of the process. it’s not like it’s the actual end.

I’ve known you a long Brian Jeffries! Even before your sky diving days. You always had a heartfelt smile whenever I’d see you. You have a way of making me feel very special and truly good about myself! And I feel others feel that way also. Godspeed Brian Jeffries. Surf’s up, and I know you’ve gone to catch the big one
I met “Jeff” in 1982 I believe it was and was teach him Wing Tsun. We used to travel to Jacksonville to work out at Karate Arts with Lee Bardon. I finally found this page as I was trying to locate him. All the phone numbers I had and phone have been disconnected. I understand why know. 🙁
Could you please tell me how he died? Thank you.
