From Richland, WA, US | Born in Richland, WA
Jeff A. Bromley
Jeffrey Andrew Bromley, only child of Leigh, born March 15, 1988 in Richland, WA passed away February 9, 2009.
Known to his friends as the "The Bromley", Jeff was quick witted and easy going. He loved being around his friends and was rarely seen with out a smile and a Mountain Dew.
Jeff had a love for animals, a dog whisperer in his own right. He could get any dog to behave and learn to do tricks. He was very proud of his black lab, Gordon, whom he trained for Canine Companions for Independence. In addition to his talent for training dogs, Jeff was a very talented writer. He could write fiction in a way that would rival the best.
In November 2005, Jeff married Kasandra Dobson and from this union they were blessed with a son Conner Mikel.
Jeff was very close to his grandmother. When she had a stroke and needed full time care, Jeff was always on hand to help and always without complaint. The two of them had a bond that few ever get the chance to experience.
Jeff is survived by his son Conner Mikel of Richland, WA; mother, Leigh Bromley of Richland, WA; grandfather, Clyde Bromley, Jr. of Richland, WA; great grandmother, Doris Hughes of Portland, OR; his "brother from another mother", Aaron Kirk, and several aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents Zeke and Billie Wells.
A memorial service will be held at Einan's Funeral Home, Richland, WA on Sunday, February 15, 2009 at 2:00pm.
One of the things I will always remember, when Thinking of Jeff was his astounding inteligence. The way he could dissect, analyze, and converse with you on just about any topic. Often openining ones eyes to a different point of view, to see things in another light. Jeff was a walking, talking bundle of energy and talent. He was a kick to be around. I often sought out his advice and input when my chips were down, because I could always trust his opinion as well as his honesty. The only thing bigger and brighter then Jeff’s smile was his heart. He was very loved, respected and admired by those who are lucky enough to have known him. He will be sorely missed.
Oh Leigh, how my heart hurts for you… I remember calling you when Jeff was about 4yrs. old. He answered the phone in this sweet little voice and said that you had a headache and were laying on the couch. I asked what he was doing and he said with a smile in his voice, “I’m standing on a chair washing the dishes for mommy.” I told him what a big sweet boy he was and he chuckled! He was such an intelligent little man with a heart of gold!
I can’t fathom your loss, but I pray for you diligently, that you may find hope and peace in Jesus! I love you! ~Angele
Sis, the pain that you are feeling right now can’t be fixed by putting a band-aid on it like I did with all your “owies” when we were kids. I pray that you can find peace in your heart. Jeff was loved by many & will be sadly missed. Keep Jeff alive in Conner. Your grandson is a reflection of Jeff. I’ll always remember the way Mom & Jeff looked after each other, now their both together again. May you find peace in your “happy thoughts” of Jeff. May God be with you during your struggles ahead & always. Your sis, Robin
My thoughts are with you every day in hopes that someday you may withstand this loss with your head held high. Lots of love to you.
Our deepest sympathy to all the family. from, Traci, Amber, Mark, and Ami hexum
Wow! where to begin…
i wasn’t “close” with jeff but he was always around. always had a smile on his face even if he didn’t seem happy. he was a great person very very witty always popping off with a smart remark even when you thouht he wasn’t paying attention. i can’t believe he’s gone. this is a very sad loss and i feel for the family. i’m sorry conner won’t get to know his daddy the way we all knew the fun loving jeff. jeff i hope you’re happier now then you were here.
To the family and friends,
My heart breaks right now, knowing, what “a loss, this world will have to face, without the presence of Jeff!” I had the fortune of knowing Jeff, throughout his life. He’s been a very significant friend, with my son Korey. They’ve known each other since the 4th grade! When Korey was still living at home, Jeff spent quite a bit of time at my place. We had several talks together, where I always encouraged him, and gave him any advice I could, enforcing, the “great potential” in which he possesed!” As we all know, Jeff was very brilliant!
He will be missed “soo much” by all who knew him! I’m certain, that his “smiling spirit, has met up with his other good friend,”Eskimo” who passed prematurely, a couple years ago! May you be at Peace now Jeff, and know that you are “truly loved!” Until we meet up again!
“I pray that God will be with Jeff’s family and friends, giving them comfort and peace, in this very trying time!”
Sincerely,
Debbie Pietz
There are never the right words to say when something like this happens and you lose someone so close to you. All I can say Leigh, is that I really am so sorry for your loss. Just know that we the James’ have been praying for you, that you will find some comfort from God through this horrible tragedy. We also pray that somehow, someday, this loss will turn into something positive, maybe through his son, Conner. God Bless you Leigh, and please take some time off soon and come visit us in D.C.
Jeff
I didn’t know Jeff really well but knew him through people I hung out with and enjoyed his company in passing. He will truly be missed.
I’m not sure if I ever met Jeffrey but I am good friends with his Uncle CD and I can see the toll that Jeff’s passing has taken on CD & Sandy. Out-of-the-blue deaths are very hard to accept and recover from and my heart goes out to everyone in Jeff’s family. So very sorry !
To the Family and Friends of Jeff,
I have known Jeff since the 7th grade. Jeff was one friend who if anyone ever needed any help he was there for them. He always had something to say to cheer others up. Jeff we will all miss you. He always had a different point of view on things that really got me thinking. I will truly miss Jeff.

I went to school with Jeff and he was such a good person . I remember the first day he brought little gordon in to the class room and was so proud to be able to train this dog, he would tell me the new things that he tought lil “gordy” as time went on , i could see in his eyes how happy it made him :.. I am so sorry to hear about Jeff’s passing he was a wonderful, Bright , warm, loving person. I will keep his family in my prayers. He will be missed so much but never forgotten by anyone who even came across him just for a second.
Jeff was a good friend of my Grandson, who his friends called Eskimo, and was one of the young people my Grandson had over, occassionally to spend the night.
I remember Jeff as a very quiet, softspoken young man who always had a smile and a pleasant word but what I mostly remember was he was a very mannerly young man.
Words at times like this always seem to fall short.
To Jeff’s family and mother: I want to extend my deepest condolences. I know the hurt you are feeling and the void you will have in your lives.
What we do to get by difficult times with Eskimo’s being gone is we focus on the good things and share those memories with his sister when she asks about her big brother.
To Jeff’s friends: Value the time you have around those you love and talk to someone you can share your feelings with to help work things out.
Do what you can to help Jeff’s family through this difficult time.
first off i send my deepest respect and sympathy to jeffs family and mother he will be missed dearly and jeff is someone i have not known long but like very much and looked forward to his visits to my house to chill and talk crap i would always give him mountain dew for the road when he would leave cause he was known for always having his big gulp cup with his drink in it.he is very dearly missed between all of us friends and wish he would of talked about what was bothering him in life.this as affected the community very much and please know the jeff is in a good place that will match his forever smile
You have our greatest sympathy and our hearts are truly saddened by your loss. Our sincere thoughts and prayers are with you.
I remember when Jeff was in grade school. He earned ‘scholar dollars’ for being good & the school would auction off things. He stood up in front of all his friends and bid against a girl for earrings for me. I still have them, have always treasured them. His heart was big. I can’t express my devestation. I love you with everything I have Jeff, I miss you so much that I physically hurt. I pray you have found peace.
Leigh,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.

Leigh, words can’t express how sorry I am for your loss. I have many memories of Jeff and Justin “Eskimo” together at our house. Jeff was an exceptional kid who was growing into a spectacular young man. Even after we lost Justin, Jeff and the other boys would come over to help do yard work because they wanted to help out. It truly meant a lot to still have them all around. I will never forget the shine in Jeff’s eyes he would get when he was happy, they would sparkle like stars. We will all miss Jeff dearly and will never forget our memories of him. Cherish that precious baby boy Conner. From what I have seen he is just like his daddy, I love it. We will all do our part to help Conner know just how special his daddy is to each of us. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Leigh
I wish I could take the pain you are feeling over the loss of Jeff. I can hardly believe that it has been 20+ years since he was born. I can tell you that I have been amazed and proud of how good of a mother you have been to Jeff. You have given him more of your own sacrifice, love and guidance that most would have given. I have witnessed your dedication, hard work and will to do the right thing personally. Jeff was proud of his momma as well as us all, especially mom – Once, on the ride from Wenatchee to Bridgeport, mom said “…that is was great to watch you and Robin and how great and amazing mothers you were….much better than herself…and also that she was glad that she didn’t screw you up” : She always believed that Jeff, Seth, Shane, Erin and Barbie were some of the luckiest grandkids in the bunch because of you both.
Leigh, I am so very, very sorry for your loss. I am thinking of you and wishing you all the best during this very difficult time.
Leigh,I’m very sorry to hear about the loss of your son,May you find confort and peace,and remember the memories,they will heal you and give you peace.
