| The Arizona Republic, Phoenix, Arizona February 2, 2003 Jeffrey Owen Underwood, 25, of Paradise Valley, passed away Thursday, January 30, 2003. Jeff was born June 2, 1977 in Portland, Oregon to Jon and Tammy Underwood. He attended the University of Arizona, where he majored in Regional Development and was a member of Sigma Chi Fraternity. Those who knew Jeff witnessed his strength: of mind, spirit and body. Jeff was genuine, thoughtful, and kind and an independent thinker. He shared his gifts of creativity and a hilarious sense of humor that spanned dry wit to goofy slapstick. Throughout his life, Jeff treasured his friendships. He enjoyed memories of good times spent with friends and was grateful for the love and support they gave him. Jeff loved sports, especially basketball, from informal pickup games to watching college games-especially the Arizona Wildcats-on TV. He enjoyed playing the drums and loved a wide variety of music. Jeff's family and friends cherish his memory.
