Was talking to God this morning about how I miss you. I have had a few dreams where I had a moment to hug you; they were special indeed. We will be going down to GA to see Sylvia and my sisters soon. We can't wait to visit with them, and I know that would make you happy too.

Dad would have been 63 on Dec 14th. We all miss you dad. I had to smile today when I thought of you as I wrote Jeff's name on a Christmas present. I thank God for sweet memories to hold us over until we see you again.

We are so sorry to read about Jeff's passing. Our sincere condolences to his wife Sylvia, his four daughters and his brother Neil. Tim served with Jeff in 3rd Army as Army Reservists from 1999-2001 and spent many a Saturday night at his place in Cumming, Georgia on drill weekends.

My friend Jeffrey was first and for most a loving husband -dutiful and proud father. Yes indeed he served his country and was consistently involved in his community -but an even greater attribute - Jeffrey was just one of the nicest people you could ever meet. You never and I mean never would hear him talk of his remarkable accomplishments. My greatest regret is that we didn't spend more time together in the last years- yet I will cherish the time we spent at the concourse and business interests. Indeed he will be missed but I know his children and his wonderful wife realize that there are few if any like Jeff and at least we had the privilege of knowing ,respecting and loving him. Rest in peace my dear friend

How can I fully express how blessed I feel to have called Jeff Anderson my father? These past few months, weeks, and days have been filled with memories, reflection, prayer, and introspection. I love and miss my father, and I am truly thankful for all of the shared condolences and memories. Even in death, he challenges me to be a better person and consider my impact in this world. Thank you Jesus for holding my heart off the ground, for your comfort to my family. I look forward to the day that I see my Lord face to face and my loved ones that have gone before us, including my dad. "And remember, I'll always love you."

Jeff was my oldest standing and favorite mentor. He was an inspiration, a reference point of integrity and love, and a friend. Since meeting him at EY, I have faced and will continue to face situations where before acting I'll ask myself, what would Jeff do. The Bonnet's send our thoughts and prayers to the Anderson family. He always spoke lovingly of you!! and Jeff, I wish we could have had one more martini. God Bless

Jeff will surely be missed. My prayers go out to Sylvia, their children and family. Jeff volunteered his time and skills to our community in many ways. Jeff served on the Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and I was honored to work with him on many projects and programs. Jeff was a bright light and contributed new ideas and solutions to advance Forsyth County, Georgia. May God carry, comfort and bring you all peace in time. Godspeed my friend.

I had the pleasure of meeting Jeff at his office that he shared with my dad at Vickery. What an incredibly spirited and genuine guy! I am heart broken to hear that hes no longer with us but know he lived an amazing life because of the stories he told me and the stories that my dad told me about Jeff and his family. He was so, so sweet and I feel blessed to have crossed paths with him. My condolences to the Anderson family.

He loved his country and especially the people who served in the military to protect it. We will miss this dynamic man, a life that was cut way too short, a civic minded individual responsible mostly for the establishment of the Forsyth YMCA. I would hope the board would honor Jeff by naming the Forsyth "Y" after him.

Our deepest sympathies and healing thoughts are sent from my wife Joan and I at this very sad time to Sylvia and Jeff's family. Jeff was a great family man, a devoted friend, career mentor and life inspiration, one of the most upbeat and supportive people I have ever known...I will always keep him in my thoughts.. He did a lot for me...He meant a lot to me... I know up in heaven the first thing he will say to God when they meet is "Proud to serve" and if he gets a voicemail set up there it will say " This is Jeff Anderson and this is a great place to reach me..." Rest in peace my brother...

I am so sorry for your loss. I know how central Jeff was to the lives of all of you and so many others. I worked with Jeff at a software company from 1997-2000 and we stayed friends ever since. He's truly one of the "good guys" and I will miss him very much.

The world is just not as bright without Jeff. A fellow soldier, friend, brother, he was an amazing individual in so many ways. Razor sharp IQ with a wit to match. He brightened every room he entered, put a smile on every face he met, and set standards of performance in life that few could hope to match. I am so much a better person for having known him, for having served with him, for having him as a friend. Rangers Lead The Way, my friend. We will have a scotch together when I get there. Love you, brother.
