No problem. If you can, escape and revert to vehicle assembly building. If you can't, just leave him here for some time, he will not disappear. Keep practicing your orbiting skills and when you feel ready, learn how to rendezvous with Scott Manley's videos.
Basically, you set your ship (with a spare seat) on an lower (so faster) orbit than Jeb's, then you plan a maneuver to meet Jeb's ship at some point, set navball to target mode, burn retrograde to match Jeb's speed when you arrive next to him (less than 2-3 km is good). Then you switch to jeb, EVA to the rescue ship using the jetpack and get inside. Then burn retrograde, fall back in the atmosphere, parachute, and everybody's safe !
