Jeffrey Schweikl, known as "Herbie", was a high school friend of mine. He was funny and a great friend to many. Herbie was a graduate of the Enumclaw High School Class of 1966. He died at the young age of 18. He will always be missed.

Jeffrey Allan Schweikl was my Uncle. Unfortunately since my Mom (his sister) was just ten years old at the time he died I never got to meet him. I have heard stories about him over the years and he sounded like a GREAT guy. I would have LOVED to have gotten to know him. Thank you, Jeff, for all that you did for our country and in your life. Rest In Peace, my Uncle, and I wish I could have met you. Also a big "Thank You" to whoever started this page to honor his memory.
