With great sorrow we announce the sudden passing of Jeffrey.
He was predeceased by his dad William S. Comstock. He is survived by his mother Carolyn Comstock; brother Evan Comstock (Miyuki), nephews Lyo and Ren; aunts, uncles and cousins.
Jeff spent his summers at McConnell Lake, playing sports and DnD. Free spirited and adventurous, he was always making new friends and sharing his passion for MMA, social media and hockey. In Winnipeg his favourite pastimes included playing trivia with his close friend Brent, poker with his buddies and reading. He never ceased to amaze us with his worldly knowledge and incredible memory.
Cremation will take place and no formal service will be held at this time. In lieu-of-flowers, donations may be made to Bruce Oake Recovery Center.
My dearest son Jeff, to quote from “Deliriously Happy” and to honour your struggle.
You have won many battles. There are no medals given out for these fights, but you wear your armour and your scars like an invisible skin, and each time you learn a little more. You learn how to fight. You learn which weapons work. You learn who your allies are. You learn that those monsters are exquisite liars who will stop at nothing to get you to surrender. Sometimes you fight valiantly with fists and words and fury. Sometimes you fight by pulling yourself into a tiny ball, blotting out the monsters along with the rest of the world. Sometimes you fight by giving up and turning it over to someone else who can fight for you.
Sometimes you fall deeper.
And in the deepest, night-blind fathoms you’re certain that you’re alone. You aren’t. I’m am there with you, some of the best people are here too….feeling blindly. Waiting, Crying, Surviving. Painfully stretching their souls so that they can learn to breathe underwater….so that they can do what the monsters say is impossible. So that they can live. And so that they can find their way back to the surface with the knowledge of things that go bump in the night. So that they can dry themselves in the warm light that shines so brightly and easily for those above the surface. So that they can walk with others in the sunlight but with different eyes….eyes that still see the people underwater, allowing them to reach out and pull them up from the darkness.
