The Smallwood Crescent Community Centre and the wider Newfoundland and Labrador community are mourning the sudden and heartbreaking loss of Jeff Moulton, a cherished friend, volunteer, and community leader whose generosity and spirit touched countless lives.

Jeff was more than a familiar face — he was the heart and soul of the Smallwood Crescent Community Centre, a place he devoted himself to for many years. His unexpected passing has left a deep void in the hearts of those who knew and loved him, as friends and colleagues struggle to imagine the centre — and the community — without his presence.

Those who knew Jeff describe him as one-of-a-kind, a man with an unmatched kindness, humor, and heart. He gave endlessly to others, never hesitating to step in and lend a hand. Whether it was volunteering his time, preparing meals, organizing events, or simply being there to listen, Jeff’s generosity knew no limits. “If you knew Jeff, you loved him,” one colleague shared. “He never said no to anyone. He gave his time, his energy, and his love — freely and wholeheartedly.”

Jeff’s contributions to the Smallwood Crescent Community Centre were immeasurable. He wore many hats — chef, board member, youth mentor, event organizer, and friend to everyone who walked through the doors. He played an essential role in community programs such as Family Camp, youth nights, and community BBQs, where his energy and laughter helped create memories that will last forever.

He was known for his infectious enthusiasm, especially during Christmas celebrations, where he embraced the holiday spirit with joy and humor — particularly his love for The Grinch, which became part of his trademark festive cheer. Jeff also had a deep passion for music and darts, two things that brought people together and reflected his love of community connection and camaraderie.

At the Black Duck Cove Neighbourhood Centre, Jeff’s dedication shone just as brightly. He was not only a volunteer but a mentor and friend, inspiring others to get involved and give back. His legacy of service, compassion, and leadership has left an indelible mark on everyone who had the privilege of working alongside him.

In a heartfelt message, the Smallwood Crescent Community Centre shared their grief and gratitude:

“There are no words to fully describe the loss of our buddy, Jeff Moulton. He was a pillar of our community — our chef, our friend, our leader. Jeff, you can never be replaced. We thank you for your service, your compassion, and your dedication to Smallwood Crescent and Black Duck Cove. You will be missed, big guy.”

The news of Jeff’s passing has prompted an outpouring of tributes from across Newfoundland and Labrador, as friends, neighbors, and community members share stories of his kindness and selflessness. Many describe him as the kind of person who could make anyone feel welcome — someone whose laughter and warmth made every gathering brighter.

As the community comes together to mourn his loss, Jeff Moulton’s legacy will live on through the countless lives he touched and the spirit of giving he embodied. His compassion, humor, and love for his community will continue to inspire others to follow in his footsteps.

Rest in peace, Jeff.
Your heart, your laughter, and your unwavering dedication will never be forgotten. The community you helped build will carry your spirit forward — always.
