He was truly an angel who walked among us mere mortals. He will forever leave an unfilled hole to everyone he touched. I love you Jeremy and I miss you dearly.
He was the most shining example of God’s love and light to every person he came in contact with. I love you endlessly Jer, thank you for being my best friend, I was so blessed by you.
Jeremy was actually only an acquaintance to me, but I know the special place he holds in his mother Faye’s heart. I’m unable to attend the funeral due to a medical procedure, but want to share a few words. Jeremy now has a new assignment in Heaven and those he left behind now have an altered assignment here on earth….to allow God to heal their broken hearts and then to honor Jeremy and his Lord! May we all somehow be worthy.
I have known Jeremy since the 8th grade. We share countless memories and lots of laughs. Forever in my heart, dear friend. Rest easy and I’ll see you when I get there. Philippians 3:20-21 🙌🏻
“One of the good ones.” (Far off stare.) To be laid to rest on 4/20. That’s how right Jeremy’s timing was his whole life. A perfect creation of God’s will & plan for all of us. He never stopped caring for those he loved & made sure to keep us thinking positively, praying & most of all doing things with kindness. I promise to honk every time I pass by the boy/boys.
I promise to check in on Hunter to make sure he’s getting those dishes done.
I promise to do it even better next time!
I promise to keep my chin up!
I’ve missed you so much & I love you so very much!
My heart is broken knowing I’ll never see you or hear your laugh on this earth. You literally light up any room with your love and kindness. I’m in shock that you are gone. So much left unsaid. I know you are with Jesus which is the only thing that makes any of this bearable. Many will come to know Him or know Him better because of you. You were a light in this dark world and the world feels ugly without you in it.
JEREMEY, such a good dear friend of mine!!!! Many of pool games, many nights in the garage rain cold or shine!!!!! He had a hell. Of a laugh on him!!!!! He will be be missed love you Jermey!!!!! See you when I get there!!!!!!🙏🏻
The hole you have left in my heart, and in so many lives, is so deep. I miss you so much. Thank you for sharing your kind heart and soul with me m, and being such a dear friend, even if only for a few years. I’ll carry on the kindness and light you exuded. You were one of a kind. There’s so much I’ll miss. Enjoy the heavenly fishing, disc golf, and endless hammock weather. Rest easy, sweet friend.
I love you dad.
