Ive known Jed since 1998. Met him on Ft. Bragg NC. We had a lot of fun together. He was amongst my best friends. I lost contact with him around 2001. Found him again on Facebook a few years ago. We were constantly making plans to get together and catch up and things kept coming up. My wife and i were planning to show up at his door the morning of New Years Eve and surprise him. Yet now something has come up. Jed was one of the biggest hearted men ive ever known. Im gonna miss you brother. We will get together to catch up one day. -SGT. Jimmie McCraw
