Obituary: ANDERSON, JEFFREY

Jeffrey Raymond Anderson "Will be Missed" Jeffrey Raymond Anderson passed away peacefully at home March 12, 2011, after a courageous and hard fought battle with a very rare cancer. Jeff was born 39 years and nine days earlier to very loving parents, Bruce R. and Sally G. Anderson, in Logan, Utah. Jeff married Cindy Jones November 19, 1993 in the St. George, Utah Temple after knowing each other only six months. Jeff always had a clear idea of what he wanted and wasted no time putting a plan into action! Jeff had a very open and loving personality. His generous nature helped him make friends almost instantly. Jeff was a great listener and had a gift of connecting with others. He was always willing to share his time, talents, knowledge and possessions. Jeff served a full-time LDS mission in Indiana. His greatest mission, however, was served during the last two months of his life as he reminded all his friends and family that the most important priorities we should have in our life are family and faith. Jeff's most prized possession is his eternal family. Everything in his life was centered on his family. He spent a lot of wonderful time camping, hiking, riding 4-wheelers and just being together with his family. Time with his family was so important that he returned from his last family trip less than a week before his death. Jeff is survived by his awesome wife, Cindy; his beautiful and smart daughters Courtney and Brooke; his handsome and playful sons Jake and Gage. He is also survived by his parents, brothers, sisters, in-laws, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandmother and friends to numerous to count!
