Unfortunately the holidays come at a time of worsening weather and shorter daylight hours. Due to the visibility at that location I can only imagine what contributed to this accident. A family member was among the victim's staff and reports everyone at work is grieving.

Jeff did not have any children, but he did have nieces and nephews that he loved dearly. Jeff will be deeply missed by our family. He had a kind and gentle soul! -Bart & Michelle

It always seem to happen around the holidays too what a terrible time to lose a friend and a loved one. I wonder if he had children....I sure hope not

The paragraph structure makes it unclear as to who was doing what. Jeff was leaving the parking lot of Best Events as he was working there. I'd known Jeff and my friends and I are sad to lose a friend to such a fleeting mistake. I had to circumnavigate the accident twice and did not realize until this afternoon when a friend stopped by. Condolences to BOTH families/friends.
