Donna, Asia and the whole family, I only knew Bobby for a short time when we traveled many miles in Nebraska with FEMA. I have never met a better friend that became that friend in such a short time. I am so so sorry for your loss and OUR loss as well. I cry tears for this man I have known for such a short time, what a man he was! He talked a lot about his family and loved them more than you could believe! I truely looked up to Bobby and maybe envied his life somewhat! What a lifetime of experiences he described to me as we traveled along the highway. What an impact he had on me! My heart goes out to his family, what a loss! What a patriot, what a loving family man, what a great American he was and what respect he commanded. I only wish I had known in time to go to his funeral. He truely leaves a hole in society.

"Hangman" was a wonderful athlete and it
sounds like he did many wonderful things
outside the ring. Deeply saddened to hear
of his passing.

Donna, Liz and Dan, Amanda and Cory, Rocky and Wendi. Words cannot express my sadness at the passing of Bobby. Bobby was our first nephew and was always first in my heart. He was more than a nephew. He was like my little brother. We shared so many experiences when he was a rambunctious teenager, such as going to hockey games and water skiing. He worked with me at Nabisco both before and after he enlisted in the U.S.Army. I suggested that he should take up wrestling as a career because he was not happy working at a "cookie factory". I never imagined that he would be such a success in his chosen profession. Bobby was much larger than life and I and Laura are saddened at your loss. I know that he loved his family dearly as he always told us so. We will never forget him.

My Big Brother Bobby,
In our youth you wanted nothing to do with your little brother.
In our youth I wanted nothing more than to spend time with my big brother.
In our youth you were a stapping young man.
In our youth I was a pudgy momma's boy.
In our youth you were a talented athlete.
In our youth I was a quiet bookworm.
In our youth you were serving our county in Vietnam.
In our youth I was getting a degree at Washington State University.
You were blue jeans and a T-shirt.
I am suit and tie.
You were like a bull in a china shop.
I was like a patron in the china shop.
You stage was a wrestling ring.
My stage is a boardroom.
You hunted game and fished.
My idea of hunting and fishing is going to the butcher block at the grocery store.
You drank domestic beer.
I drink Guiness.
You lived on the plains of Kansas.
I live on the left coast in San Diego.
You voted Republican.
I voted Democratic.
You were blessed to with Donna, Elizabeth and Amanda.
I have been blessed with my Cocker Spaniels Joe, Murphy, Kerry and Carney.
You chose Jeaaudoin.
I chose Carney-De Ford.
When I told you that I was gay you said what I always said what my dear grandmother and mother would say if they were alive and I told them, "So, I love you.
So may differencis in our personalities and life, so many years that we were seperated, so many miles that seperated us. The most important thing is that we are sons of our mother and father and you are my big brother.
I loved you then, I love you now and I will love you forever.....
Your Little Brother,
Kerry

My condolences to Mr. Jeaudoin's family and friends. I never knew of his service in the US Army, as I only knew him as Hangman Bobby Jaggers from his years in wrestling. He was a great wrestler and left many memorable moments for his fans. My heart goes out for your loss and may his memory and accomplishments live on. Thank you.

My heart is heavy with sorrow to hear of Bobby passing. I was a fan of his when he was a Portland wrestler and became aquainted with him when he lived in Ridgefield many years ago. He was a wonderful friend and co-worker in recent years while he was with FEMA. My prayers and condolences to his family. He will be missed by many. May he rest in peace.

Every time I see a fish I will remember Bobby's fish stories. In Galveston in 2009 Bobby caught the biggest fish and shared it with all his co-workers who he called his friends, and true enough, we were friends. I have a fear of height and Bobby had me walk out on the patio of the eleventh floor and looked down. That's who Bobby was, a generous compassionate friend. I was happy to have seen him last week before his transition. One just never know the last time just may be the last time. To his family and friends, Big Bobby was a genuine guy; he will sorely be missed. May God keep and comfort you all.

I'm very sorry for your loss. I got to work with Bobby on one occassion during a deployment in Oklahoma maybe 1 1/2 to 2 yrs ago. This present deployment is the first time I'd seen him since. He hadn't changed a bit, just as kind and joyful as before. I'm saddened he is not with us anymore and pray you'll remember the best of him as I will.
Sincerely,
Project Specialist

Bobby,
Although unheard I thank you
For always being there
Even when you were many miles away
You always seemed to care
You meant so much to many of us
your were special in your own way
you brightened up a conversation with
many jokes and stories even during the darkest days
Many tears I have seen and cried lately
They have all poured out like rain
I know that you are happy now
Cause your'e no longer in pain
For many past years I remember you
And what you used to say
You made each of us smile
And kept me focused on each new day
They say in time it gets easier
I believe this isn't true
Because even after all these days
I still don't have a clue
I was not ready to say goodbye
Your infection just over took
So on this day we remember you
I take a second look
Our friendship is forever
Until death, did we part
Although your away physically
You are always in my heart
Your Friend,
Niki
