**** Jeoffrey has now been laid to rest in Charlton, nr Andover, Hants. Taken too soon from us R.I.P
Cause unknown
Born - July 1962 - in Upton Park Hospital, Slough, Berkshire. Son of Hermine and Fredrik Gumbs - Back in their arms, how proud they would be of you.
Much loved: Husband, Father, Grandfather, Cousin, Brother, Uncle, Godfather and friend to many.
Dad, Thank you for helping us to find our way through the trials and tribulations of growing up, for helping us to not only realise our hopes and dreams but helping us to achieve them, thank you for believing in us. It's not flesh and blood that make a "DAD" it was your heart, love, carefree nature, sensitivity and passion to make sure we took the right paths, if we faltered you helped to get us back on track with words of wisdom and love, these are just a few things that made you the perfect dad.... we miss you so much.....never forgotten, your spirit lives on.in all of us..................
Tribute to Jeoff, my husband, my soulmate, my friend, my life and so much more....
I don't really know where to begin as words are not enough for a man so great and loved so much by myself and so many. Thank you all for your support, flowers, cards, messages and thoughts throughout this sad and difficult time.
I was so lucky to have you in my life for the past 16 years. To have found a man like you Jeoff is a lifetime's quest for some. How fortunate for me that you chose me to be in love with, sharing your inner self and memories of your life with.
To give all of those, that he crossed paths with a glimpse of the kind of man he was.
Jeoff was a man of simple needs, unmeasurable loyalty, had steadfast beliefs of what he wanted from life and most of all gave undying love to us, his family and friends. His greatest pleasures were of the simplest things, his music, films, and boy! did he love his food. A man of inner peace who taught many valuable lessons to us all. A happy, larger than life fun, flirty, sensitive, caring and kind man. Jeoff was father to three, Shaun, Chris and Emma and grandfather(known as grampy) to two beautiful grand daughters, Tennesse and Alanah , there are two more grandchildren due to be born in Dec and January, sadly Jeoff will not have the opportunity to be here with them, but we will make sure they know who he is , he will always be Grampy to all the future children in our family, never forgotten or loved and always "Grampy". I will have the greatest pleasure telling them all about him along with stories of his and our life together.
No matter how old, young or indifferent, from which walk of life they came, Jeoff touched hearts wherever he went, be it from some-one he had just met or some-one he has known for many years. Children idolised and loved him just for being Jeoff, he was Uncle to them all and Godfather to some and was at his happiest surrounded by children.
Jeoff acheived so much in both his work and personal life always taking care of his family and friends. He gave 110% to everything he did but never failed to put me first. This unselfish, handsome, meticulaous, professional, funny, larger than life personality of a man has been suddenly snatched away from us in a tragic accident, I don't feel able to say goodbye so as Jeoff was my guiding light i will now be his for eternity until we met again.
With a love as strong as we had, this tragic loss will not keep us apart.
Jeoff's smile and touch is an inspiration to us all.
My message to you Jeoff:
Jeoff you are my inspiration for life, I wish we had been given more time together to have fulfilled our future plans.
I love you, am in love with you, miss you, hurt for you and will never forget the wonderful years we had together. Memories are precious.
Where ever you are keep safe, be comforted, sleep peacefully.
We will be together again.

Hello sweetheart,
Well as you know Ems is expecting her second baby, she is halfway now but having a really tough time, she is really brave and hardly complains but she is like you....As you know me I havn't moved on ....Can't for the life of me, the void in me is so big my life seems so empty with you not here and apart from the kids and grand kids who try their best to keep me sane feel like I am going mad at times. Kodi a real little character and so cute he chats for britain bit like his mummy you would say... Alanah doing modeling, dancing and Gymastics, loves her Grampy so much and misses you, she always tells me she gives you lots of kisses and as you know she always talking to you... Shanae just a little minx but full of character and quite a comedian, Joseph cute with curly blond locks but the quiet and shyer one of all the kids quite happy just playing on his own.. Emma misses you so much, we often cry together not that you would want us to but we miss you so much.....No-one will ever know the pain we feel. Chris got his own business and doing really well, he so happy. Shaun ok but having hard time with things still as are me and Ems, Chris bottles up, but just to let you know we love you so much, miss everything and every second with you... Don't forget to come and get me soon, can't stand it here without you... Love you my angel xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Our lil girls 30th Birthday
Hello baby,
Our lil girl turns 30 on Sunday, she has been such a rock to me although I am struggling so much, I really can't cope without you, where are you? I hate every second and every minute of every day and no-one understands how I feel, nor can I even begin to explain. This is the hardest and worst time of my entire life but as you know our lil girl is the best and she makes us so proud. She is so like you in all of her ways after all she is taught by the best.. You! I am trying so hard each day and have full support but I just cant accept where you are, I can't find you....Our friends have been supportive you know the one's but it is me I just can't find you......
don't want to see anyone, talk to anyone, be with anyone, hurts too much coz all I do is look for you.. Alanah is five now she always talking to you she asked me if you have a car? made me cry but funny at same time...she asked when is Grampy coming back to see us coz I miss him he is my Grampy and she asks where you are all the time. I don't know what to say to her coz I don't know where you are, she says Nana I am sad too coz she see's me cry, but I will kiss Grampy for you.... Kodi Bear is a cutie lil champ you would love him to bits, ems is a fantastic mummy as you knew she would be, just wish you could hold him and be here for him and Ems., well you will do when you get back. Ems is in such pain herself she misses you so much but she takes care of me, lil Kodi and just about everyone she is our rock. Joseph and Shanae are growing so much, Shanae a minx loves Trains and Joseph cheeky loves animals they are so cute. Tennesse like a little lady growing up too fast. We are all struggling in our own way Shaun and Chris, Emms, me but the one thing you know is we will always love you from the bottom of our hearts. You are the best and wonderful part of our lives you give so much and take so little..... this is not fair, why can't we find you..
And, ems knows she will always be daddy's lil girl no matter where you are........I know you already know all of this coz I tell you all the time just wanted to write to you. but don't know where to send it...I gonna make some tea do you want one? waiting for my cuddles. Can't wait for you to walk back through that door I will be waiting to give you the biggest kiss and hug ever.. Don't leave it too long coz I miss you so much and you know I love you more. I need to tell you so much so can't wait to see you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
