He was one of three children. Jeff grew up on his family farm the Underwood Orchards and Farm Market and into his late teens he worked with the family providing delicious produce to the community. After moving on from the farm, Jeff spent many years working as a heavy equipment operator with Team Elmers and then as a groundskeeper mowing the grass at the Crown Golf Course. In Jeff’s free time, he enjoyed the great outdoors. In the spring and summer on his motorcycles and 4-wheelers and in the winter on snowmobiles logging thousands of miles as he would breathe in the fresh air. He also really enjoyed deer hunting. Jeff is survived by his parents, his sister Barbara Jean (Mike) Anderson, brother Robert E. (Mary) Underwood as well as many nieces and nephews. The family is planning private family gathering in the spring. His final resting place will be Grand Traverse Memorial Gardens. Per Jeff’s wishes, cremation has taken place.
