Today’s episode of Community Records is a very special one. It is comprised of two interviews Tammy and Christian had with our good friend Jeff Allan. Jeff speaks about his experiences with homelessness, the police and the importance of caring relationships. These interviews happened in the summer of 2020, but have taken on new meaning to us today.
On October 25, 2022 Jeff died much too soon, at the age of 35. Jeff was a joyous man with a massive heart and a killer smile. He loved people and his community deeply. We miss him so much and want to share a glimpse of him with you today.
