Darlene and family
We are so sorry to hear of Jeff’s sudden passing. May your memories help you through this difficult time.

Condolences to the Bannister and Hayter families. I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Jeffery’s Mom, Audrey, when I was just able to walk, when they lived out on the farm. I kept in touch with Janice when she was a hairdresser in Exeter back in the 1970s. Brother Ken Hayter, I have known Ken since I was a baby. He knew my Mom and Dad, Doris and Jim Edwards, and we used to go out and visit Sarah and Lloyd, out on #4 hwy at the farmhouse. You were all so happy. I miss those days and all those people; they made life better back then. Even though we had nothing, we had each other, and we were happy. Ken and his wife Louise came up to see me one last time, not long before he passed away. When I was 3, I told him that he had to wait for me to grow up so I could marry him. LOL

Sending you all my sincerest condolences. So much to say, but unable to find the words to say it. Tonight, I am imagining a London Township Good Ol’ Boys and Gals Reunion. Sending love and support to you all. Gone too soon.

Sorry to hear of Jeff’s passing. Sincere condolences to the family.

My heart breaks he was a wonderful man. All those years ago when we were young he hauled out of my pit and man did we ever have fun. Great guy made days great. So sorry for your loss and all of us have lost a wonderful human. Please take care. Xoxo

My deepest sympathies to all who knew and loved him.

RIP Jeff till we meet on the other side. Going to miss your funny conversations on the phone together and joking, back-and-forth with each other. RIP buddy.

We send our deepest sympathy to you Darlene and family. What a shock, guess January 4th is for truckers in heaven xo

Jeff…I am glad to have given you a hug on Christmas Eve. If I knew that would be the last one I would have held on longer. I know you were tired and needed to go. Until we see each other again, Rest in the sweetest Peace. We will miss hearing your laughter. Know we will look after Darlene. Ride on my friend, missed but never forgotten.

Darlene and family
Sincere sympathy in your huge loss. Pray you can experience peace and comfort.

Dear Darlene Carly and Kaycee and sweet little Jace,

No words can describe how I felt when I received the call on Sunday I got to the hospital as quickly as I could. My Heart felt instantly empty.
Jeff and I (Ron) lived together for a few years when I lived in London in my younger days. Shared lots of laughs and good times and that continued on throughout his life. My brother will be truly missed I was always there to listen and gave him my opinion. HE NEVER JUDGED ANYONE. Would give anyone his last dollar even if he needed it. Sometimes the hard talks we shared I believe brought us even closer together. Glad for all the fun times we had growing up as kids I remember the z28 you were so proud of that car and you being a part of our wedding. You did what you loved the most and that was driving a big truck. So many thing I could talk about but you were a good sole and taken way too soon. Hold the memories you have with Jeff in your heart. ❤️ RIP

Darlene and Family,

So sorry for your loss. I worked with Jeff for quite awhile and we always got along great. I’ll miss working with him and our friendly conversations.

Darlene, Carly, Kaycee, and Jace
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Uncle Jeff meant so much to our family, and we are incredibly grateful for the love, care, and compassion you have showed him. It brought us great comfort knowing how deeply he was cared for and how surrounded by love he was.
I am so thankful I was able to share special moments with him, including our wedding, memories I will always cherish.
I will always wish he had the chance to meet our sweet Audrey girl, I know he would have adored her just as he does Jace.
Sending you all so much love, strength, and peace during this incredibly difficult time. Love you all xo

Darlene and family

It was with such shock and sadness to hear of Jeff’s passing, another brother gone way too early. My heart breaks for everyone he held dear to his heart.
Jeff was a kind brother, he was less then a year older then I and I never let him forget we were the same age for 9 day. Since we were close in age we had many of the same friends at Medway High School, everyone knew me as Jeff’s little sister. We had some great times at Junior Farmers especially the meetings afterwards. We’d venture with the rest of the crew to the well known Lucan establishments, same ones our parents visited years earlier (IYKYK) to share a pint. Now, I wasn’t quite of age yet, but that didn’t stop us and we had fun anyways until we got home. There were always consequences when your brother drove.
It’s no secret Jeff always beat to his own drum whether the sticks were up or down at times, he’d always came out smiling. He showed great, actually astounding perseverance because the more he got knocked down the stronger he rose and if you ever ran into him, nothing was wrong, he always had a grin on his face ear to ear. He didn’t burden you with his mistakes, misfortunes, not even once, he kept his head high and proud as he should for all he accomplished.
From my understanding he found the love of his life, Darlene, whom made him very happy. No judgements to over come, just someone who loved him unconditionally. Another passion he had was his transports, he loved running the roads ever since I can remember. He learnt a lot from the time he received his first big rig till his last and still a happy trucker. I remember going on a run with him when he first started out and it didn’t go as planned, he had hit an overpass with his cargo. He finished the trip and he never got upset, it was just another day like any other to him.
I’m so grateful to have seen him at Matt’s wedding last August and I’ll never forget the three words he said to me that day “love you sis” The best part about it was he meant it. His heart was always in the right place and there was never any judgement.
The employees he worked with at Meter Mix Concrete send their condolences as well.
Jeff, you’ve been taken way too soon from your loved ones and will be truly missed brother.

Shelley

Ran into Jeff at the Wyoming Truck Stop, before Covid, he yelled my name at the pumps, it was great to see him in his glory driving the truck!! We would occasionally cross paths at truck stops always a quick chat, and we would always depart laughing at each other!!
He played goalie with our hockey team in Ilderton!!
Rest in Peace Jeff you will be missed!!

My deepest condolences on the sudden passing of Jeff. I am thankful our paths crossed. Jeff was always keen for a road trip or tour. May your memories of Jeff bring you comfort in the days ahead.

Darlene and Family, we offer our condolences with the sudden death of Jeff. We hope your memories will help you through this very sad time in all your lives.

Darlene and Family, sorry to hear of the passing of Jeff. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family

Too young, too soon to a wonderful guy. Our sympathy to all those who knew and loved Jeff – the man with the sweet smile and generous heart.

My condolences to Darlene and family for your loss.

I was so shocked when I had been informed of my brother Jeff passing. He always had a smile on his face even if there were things bothering him. He would never let it show. He loved to be behind the wheel be it either his truck or on a tractor. I remember how happy he was when he got his first rig and so proud to take us for rides to Husky to get diesel. We may not have seen eye to eye about somethings but you were still my brother and I loved you and will miss you. Another brother gone way too soon.❤️

Darlene and family,

Sending our deepest condolences to all. We are thinking of you all during this difficult time.

Shelly, Kelly,Deb, Darlene and families. Gary and I are so sorry to hear of Jeff’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this very difficult time. Uncle Gary and Aunt Linda.

Dear Darlene, Kelly and Family-
I am so sorry for your loss.

I heard many great stories about Jeff from Kelly about what a kind, generous, great brother he was. Sending thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Jeff was such an amazing soul! Never a frown always a smile!😊
My condolences to the family!

My condolences to the family. I probably haven’t seen Jeff in 40 years but I grew up down the road with the Bannisters and went to elementary and high school with them. Our parents were also connected.

Jeff was a character and seeing the pictures posted here sure made me smile and remember. He was a kind soul and always happy. He also liked to get into some trouble but that’s why we adored him.

Heaven just got another angel to watch over us all. RIP old friend.

Sorry to hear of Jeff’s passing. We first meet Jeff back in 4H and his families cattle showing days. Jeff always had a smile and story for everyone. May the memories you have, bring joy, especially in the coming days.

Darlene, Carly, Kaycee & little Jace

My condolences to each of you at this difficult time. All of you will have your own special memories of Jeff that you all will treasure forever.
Thinking of you all & sending hugs.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of Jeff’s family and friends.
The pictures brought fond memories of my adventures occasionally babysitting Jeff and his siblings when their parents went out.
I remember Jeff sporting a twinkle in his eyes, enjoying a laugh, and lending a hand when needed; obviously traits he carried throughout his life. R.I.P. Jeff

Dear Darlene and Family

We were very saddened to hear of Jeff’s sudden passing. Earl and Jeff have made a point of catching up for years while on the road and we had just got a Merry Christmas from him on Christmas Eve. Lots of good talk about trucking days.

A good guy gone too soon.

Sincerely,
Earl and Julie Bullock
