Born in 1948 and died in 2016. Jeff worked for the Phoenix, Arizona VA and was one of the top experts in the country in helping veterans get off of drugs due to war trauma. He also helped with civilians who were addicted to drugs. He served in the Marine Corp in Vietnam and was a man of faith. He attended twelve WABDL World Championships in a row. He holds the Arizona State Record in the Deadlift in 61-67/181lbs with 391.2. He holds the Arizona State Record in the Bench Press with 304.1 in 61-67/181lbs. When my brother Tom died in 2012 Jeff called to console me. That left a lasting impression on me as to the kind of man G. Jeffrey Thornton was.

We will post a pic of Mr. Thornton soon.
