Your dad, husband was a servant of this country.   His contributions and dedication to the belief that each one of us must contribute to the safety and security of all that live here should never be forgotten. I saw your dad just a few days before he passed, and he was still attacking the mission with the same vigor that you would expect.

Val and kids, I just heard of the passing of Jeff.  I am so sorry for your loss.  I am at a loss for words and my eyes well up as I write this.  Jeff was one of the good guys. A true friend, an integral part of GITEM/DEA, an asset to the intel community and the Armed forces. Most of all a devout family man.  My thoughts and prayers are with you. Jeff, thank you for your friendship over the years.

I would like to express my deepest sympathy and condolences to the Jarvensivu family for their loss. I served with Colonel Jarvensivu in the Tucson State Gang Task Force and he was one of the most gifted problem solvers I ever had the pleasure to work with and learn from. I am deeply saddened by his sudden passing and know that he will leave a tremendous void in the law enforcement and military communities. He served the citizens of several states and this country with distinction and honor. Few have made a bigger difference....  
Respectfully,
Captain Danny Lugo
