"There are many different types of friends, the ones that become family are extraordinary. Jeff was my brother. We worked (3 different places) together, we laughed together, we drank together and when one of us had something heavy on our minds we talked and listened together. It's sometimes rare to find those friends, brothers. I'm going to miss seeing that jeep parked at work, the sometimes uncontrolled laughter while we were being us during meetings or just hanging out. I could go on for pages and pages here but instead I'll just say.... I love you brother. It's been a pleasure to call you my friend. Sincere thoughts and prayers for all of Jeffs loved ones. May you find strength and guidance during this most difficult time. Scott Underwood"
