Longley, Jeffrey Scott

Sometime between the end of his shift on Saturday July 15 and the start of his next shift on Monday July 17, Jeff Longley unexpectedly expired on his couch, watching sports. He leaves behind his beloved daughter, Megan (Littleton), his father Bill (Overland Park, KS), his mother Ruth (Rogers, AR) and brother Mike (Rogers, AR), his friends, colleagues and staff as well as thousands of patients and clients.

He was there until 2004, when he moved to practice in Seattle, and then moved back to Denver to work at Lone Tree Veterinary center in 2007 and then at VCA Mountainview in 2012. It was there at Mountainview where Dr. Longley came into his own. Promoted to medical director, he became the leader and drove the business per his parameters: Longley felt strongly that it was important to communicate with "pet parents" to ensure they had the information, resources and knowledge to provide proper nutritional and optimal care for their favorite companions.
