A celebration of Jeffrey’s life will be held 11 am, Saturday, August 3, 2024 at the Community Church of Vero Beach, 1901 23rd Street, Vero Beach, FL 32960.

It saddens me to hear the news of your passing. I can still hear you saying “Motor 1 Traffic” over the radio.

You will be greatly missed, brother.

Saddend by the loss of a valued friend, Jeff leaves a tremendous void in the St. Baldrick’s IRC community and every community he has touched.

It saddens me to hear of your passing. We made a good team at the IRCSO Traffic Unit. The public track us and even gave us nicknames on Facebook, the fat cop on the motorcycle and the bitch in the blue car. Jeff, all I can say is we did this community well. RIP my old friend. You will be missed by many.

My heart is truly broken for the family and friends that this great loss has affected… this family is one of the most trustworthy and caring families I have ever known. They have dedicated their lives to helping others and giving back to the community. Anyone that has met them are better people just from having knowing them. Godspeed and good journey my brother.

I was so saddened to hear the news that you were in a car accident, and that you are no longer with us, Jeff. You were truly a great neighbor and friend. My heart goes out to you Laura, and your boys Vincent, Anthony and to the entire Saputo family. Rest in Eternal Peace Jeff.

My thoughts and prayers to all of the family.

My deepest condolences for the loss of this great man, Laura!

He is with God and you will one day be reunited!

I was deeply saddened and surprised to hear that you have left us so suddenly. You are such a wonderful person. I call you a “Gentle Giant “ of a man. I really enjoyed working with you. You have left such a VOID In my life!

My prayers and thoughts go out to the Saputo family. I worked in the DUI Department of Florida Safety Council under Jeff. I got to know him in the last year. He was a great Director. He was a joy to work with and was good at making me laugh. He will truly be missed. God bless!

Thinking of this incredible family & the heartbreak felt throughout the community. We are with you all, always — as is Jeff.

Me and the kids are going to miss so so big, Steppa.
I’ll always be thankful for the 20 years that I got to know you. Thanks for being the best dad to me and grandfather to my kids!

My thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathy to Laura, Vincent, Anthony, Marie, Johnny, Cindy, and the rest of the family.

Rest In Peace Bubba! I know gram and Aunt Winnie are spoiling you.

Our sincerest condolences to you and your family. Jeff was a great man and he will truly be missed by so many.

It really saddens me to hear of Jeff passing. He was the greatest person and a helluva motorcycle cop. I live in Fellsmere and all I had to do was call and he would come out to monitor the morning “school” traffic and again in the afternoon when the buses came home. He even pulled my husband over one morning. It was kind of funny. I hated when he retired and we stayed in touch for a little while. I pray for his entire family, extended family and friends for your peace. God bless you all and I hope Jeff rests in peace.

So sad to hear of the passing of such a great human, and a wonderful Dad. I was blessed to teach all his children, and will remember how his face would light up when it was pick up time for the kids. So terribly sorry for your loss-

Jeff was truly a great man, friend, and mentor. I always looked up to him and had more respect for him than I think he truly ever knew. A hard working gentle giant. There was never a time that I called to ask him for help or guidance that he turned me away.

Like it has already been mentioned, I can still hear “Motor 1 Traffic!” While there were so many that had a dislike for him, they just weren’t fortunate enough to truly know him.

Rest in peace brother, til we meet again!

Love ya buddy!

I have to say that I didn’t expect to hear this information. On behalf of my family, I extend our deepest condolences to Laura and all of Jeff’s family. I always enjoyed working with Jeff, both as a Road Patrol Deputy and as members of the Traffic Unit. Please Lord, embrace him and welcome him into your heavenly kingdom.

Condolences are not sufficient. We have lost a man who led by example and whose love, devotion, honesty and common sense have and will continue to resonate in my life.
Jeffrey never failed to have a smile and to bring a smile to the most challenging of times .

My love to the family.

Jeff, I had some great time working alongside you. You will be missed. By the way you will always be a legend to me.

My condolence to Laura, his children and to his family members.

Working side by side at the Safety Council since 2018 was such a “gift”. Your presence, your smile and laughter was priceless. I am so saddened by your passing and also so grateful that I was privileged to know you. God bless you and your family.

Laura, I was so shocked to hear of your husbands passing. I remember him sitting at 58th & 60 waiting to pull over those red light runners. He caught a lot! Thinking of you and the twins during this very difficult time. Stay strong girl, and keep those great memories with Jeff close to your heart. (Mean Sue from Wije’s)
