Jeremy is remembered by his family as a loving and caring young man, unique to all who had the pleasure of meeting him. He was the "joker in the deck", always looking for a way to brighten the day and lighten the mood. Jeremy saw life for what it is... Life is for living! He loved his parents and his brothers and they loved him with all their hearts. While spreading joy through his wonderful personality or through his passion in music, he also faced difficult challenges along the way. With the love and support of his family, Jeremy struggled and waged a courageous battle until God called him to take his place in heaven. We will miss his smile and his sheepish grin and we will love him forever.
