James "Jim" and "Doc" Underwood

He was born on October 30, 1945 in Omaha, Nebraska to the late Orville and Anna (Solve) Underwood.

Jim was quite a remarkable man in this world. A true Hero in the Vietnam War. Proud Navy Corpsman. His love and devotion to his fellow Veterans was unsurpassed. Astounding it is that he was able to save so many lives during Vietnam. A feat that pained Jim everyday of his life, the ones he could not save. The bright light in all this grief was becoming friends all these years with the Veterans that went on to awesome lives. Attending the Veterans reunions annually and having these Veterans search Jim out and reach out. His dedication to the United States Marine Corps is something that he cherished most. A Patriot of the United States of America in every way one human could possibly be devoted.

Jim was an avid golfer and an obsessive fan of his beloved Nebraska Cornhuskers as well as the Chicago Bears. Above all, Jim loved his Family and Friends near and far. Jim loved his dogs as our children and they miss him greatly until we will all meet again.

Predeceased by his parents and one brother, Dennis Underwood.

Survivors include his loving wife, Kimberley Underwood; three daughters: Heide, Holly and Winter; one sister, Judy Peterson; one sister-in-law, Andi Brichant; and six grandchildren.
