Lafayette, LA (9 September 2024) – It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our former colleague and founder of Gemvision Jeff High on Thursday, September 5, 2024, after a courageous battle with cancer. Jeff dedicated his professional life to the jewelry industry, forging lifelong connections with jewelers across the globe.
Matt Stuller saw Jeff as a powerful visionary for the future. “Jeff and I spent countless hours talking about the future,” says Matt Stuller, founder of Stuller. “I loved his commitment to the industry and his natural slant towards technology. Jeff was always tinkering with gadgets and never quite satisfied with anything he touched. When Jeff believed in a vision, he was a fierce debater and saw endless possibilities ahead. Jeff’s work at Gemvision and Stuller will influence all of us for decades to come. We are forever grateful for our time with Jeff, although it was far too short.”
“Jeff was always focused on the future,” says Danny Clark, president of Stuller. “Those fortunate enough to have spent time with him witnessed the power and inspiration of his vision firsthand. Even as the team worked on his latest idea, Jeff was already busy reinventing it. That was the magic of Jeff, a quality that will be deeply missed.”
It is with great sadness as well as fond memories and joy that we remember Jeff and his remarkable life. See Jeff’s Obituary here: https://www.mourning.com/obituaries/Jeff-High?obId=33020707
