RIP Jeff.  Yes, he certainly was a memorable individual.

I'd not say that he 'chose' to go out early - he had health issues and 
we knew that he was quite sedentary.  Each person who we know who was 
lucky enough to live long has beaten the average, which means that there 
was also someone who died below average, as illustrated by the other 
decedents on that list:  age 90, 31, & 32.
