Jeremy Sandvick Monroe Obituary

Jeremy is the son of Mellissa Sandvick Pike of Chinook and Monte Monroe of Darby. He is a 2004 graduate of Chinook High School.
Jeremy was known for his witty personality. He could make you smile with the greatest of ease. He loved people, but the most important things were his friends and family, all of whom appreciated and respected him deeply. Jeremy enjoyed playing his guitar and jamming with his friends.
Everyone who had the opportunity to meet him loved him. He respected the young and the old. He will be missed by all who knew him.
Jeremy is survived by his mother, Mellissa (Ken) Pike of Chinook; his father, Monte (Dana) Monroe of Darby; siblings Zacharie and Danielle Gard, both of Chinook, Logan Monroe of Darby, and Jordanne and Darryl Southwick, both of Chinook; a great-grandmother, Betty Wasson of Columbia Falls; grandparents Harold and Elizabeth Sandvick of Malta, Marilyn Jensen of Saco and Monte Monroe of Arizona; aunts and uncles Robin Labrie Peterson of Havre, Yvette Sandvick Hurley of Tucson, Ariz., Michelle Monroe of Wolf Point, Jess Jensen of Absarokee, Beth Sandvick Walsh of Columbia Falls, Chris Sandvick of Malta, Bart Jensen of Gillette, Wyo., Nathan Sandvick of Malta, Yasmine Sandvick Baker of Kalispell, Marty Jensen of Harlem, and Levi Sandvick and Karessa Sandvick, both of Malta; and various other relatives too numerous to mention.
He was preceded in death by great-grandfathers Ed Peterson, Jim Wasson, John Monroe and Martin Sandvick; great-grandmothers Hazel Sandvick and Blanche Monroe; an aunt, Shantel Sandvick; and a cousin, Martin Sandvick Kuszmul.
He was a truly wonderful person and will be missed.

I've seen evil and toils and damages done,
I've seen enemies fall through the smoke of my gun,
I've seen torture and killing and battles unfold,
I've seen courageous marines in crimson & gold,
I've heard bellows and warnings and cries of dead men,
I've heard machine guns stealing the souls of my friends,
I've heard echo's and hollers and buildings explode,
I've heard the snap of clips as marines reload.

Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and also let the Monroe Family know that we recently sent Care Packages to American troops in the war zones. Each box carried a dedication sheet that includes the name, service information and a photo of your loved one. We recognize that this is a humble tribute, but we wanted you to know that it is heartfelt and made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals in the youth hockey community and beyond. We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you strong.
Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family

In Memory of Jeremy ~ (Debra Estep)
October 8, 2008
Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
I did not know Jeremy, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side
i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.
can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.
i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.
it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side
the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

I pray that the Lord will keep and comfort the family of this fine young man that gave his life for the rest of us.

If this person can stand in battle to ensure my freedom, then I will stand in grief with his/her family to honor him/her. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guest book for the rest of my life, but I promised LE RON A. WILSON (a dear friend KIA 7/6/07, 18yrs old) that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.

Courage is doing what is right
Without having to be told
Courage is manning up
When you know you've done something wrong
Courage is looking the enemy in the eye
And telling them to just bring it
Courage is having fear
But still staying strong
Courage is facing adversity
But being able to overcome it
Courage is leaving your family behind
To defend the country you love
Courage is being a soldier
In the greatest military in the world
Thank you for this courage
and jeremy was courage
i love you and will never forget you

Melissa, Monte, and Family-
I want to thank you for raising such a wonderful man. I had the privilige of going through high school with Jeremy but it wasn't until after we graduated that we became close. I will never forget Jeremy. He touched everyone that he met... He was one of a kind and no one will ever replace him or will ever come close to being the man that he was. I loved your son with all my heart and can not tell you how sorry I am that he is gone. I will never forget the smile that would cross his face as he talked about his family. He will be remembered by everyone as a great Marine and an even better friend. If there is anything I can do please let me know. I hope you know that you had a wonderful son who loved you all very very much!! He will be forever missed and loved.
All my love and prayers
-Kayla

“Paid in Full”
In Honor of The War Against Terrorism’s Fallen and Injured Marines
Marines through and through, they paid the price
Six thousand miles away, we live the life
For which they paid with their blood, spirits and bodies
We will never forget what they paid in full
We hope and we pray that somehow their loved ones find comfort
In God, in the flag, in the memory of their loved ones’ bravery
They’re gone now but we see them still…proud, strong, willing
Covering each other’s backs… courageous, moving forward
What kind of love did they have for us to be willing
To give it all for the Black, White, Jew, Christian, Muslim?
We don’t comprehend but we honor you now and forever
You are Our Marines…some living…some not
Forever in our minds we will cherish your lives
Lives too short yet immortal they’ll be
Highest brotherhood of the few, the proud
They stand at attention, and we gaze with awe
Some know their names not, but our admiration for them
Flows limitless within us, between us
They sacrificed their limbs or their lives
Freedom still rings, a soft sound across the miles
It tolls slowly; all of creation takes note
Of the lives that were lost for people unknown
Out of sight but not lost; forever among us
The starched blues marching straight
Toward the place where we will meet them
Many years from now…how we loved them…
Well done beloved Brothers and Sisters…You’ve paid it in full
Always Faithful Marines, You Have Paid it in Full

I just wanted to say I share your sadness in the lost of your Son-Jeremy. I did not know him, but my Step-Son Derek W Jones was with him the day he died. As he also died that day, it has been such a horrible lost for us all. I just wanted you to know my thought's and prayers are with you-his family and friends. God Bless You!

My thoughts are with you and yours. I met your son Jeremy and had the honor of shaking his hand, at MCRD San Diego, when he and my younger brother Nick graduated boot camp together. They shipped out to K-Bay and were both in 2/3 up until your son deployed to Afghanistan, at that time my brother was sent to 1/3 as a replacement for the losses they suffered in Fallujah that year. My brother notified me of Jeremy's death in Al-Anbar upon his receiving the news in Hawaii after he returned from a tour in Afghanistan himself. He and I were both at a loss for words. My brother because he became friends as well as a Marine with your son. Myself, because I am a 30 yr old Marine veteran of the Gulf War. I only met your son for a brief moment, but knowing what he had to go through to earn entrance into our brotherhood, and knowing where he would surely deploy to once in the fleet, it was a TRUE HONOR to have met him and shaken his hand! Anyone who met him is better for it. He made the ultimate sacrifice and epidomizes the definiton of selflessness. Know and remember this always... thousands of miles away in a place few of us can imagine, I'd like to think your son paved the way for generations of little Iraqi kids to live a better life and enjoy real freedoms someday. Everyone will tell you that he was a warrior, but he was also a humanitarian. I say to your son Jeremy with the utmost respect, "Lance Corporal, carry on.".

I'm deeply sorry for your loss of your son, Lcpl Jeremy S. Sandvick Monroe. He will always be remembered as a hero in my heart. I empathize for you and your family, knowing what its like to lose someone as great as your son was. I had lost a nephew, Lcpl Kevin Joyce, in Afghanistan in June of 2005. Kevin would mention his friends'name(Sandvick) several times when he would come back for a visit. From that I knew Jeremy was a good person and a good friend to Kevin. The short time that my family have met him in Hawaii, he talked proudly of his family and that shows how he loved you all very much. Know that in your hearts, he will always be with you everytime you think of those special memories of him. He's in the Kingdom of God and his angels. May God help you and your family through this time of your loss of your loved one.

Words cannot really express the loss we all feel for Jeremy. He was a very honest and sincere person. He'd do anything for you. As a classmate and a very good friend I know he is still here in spirit, watching and wanting us to keep smilin'. Jeremy's contagious smile and great sense of humor will always be missed. He will be in the minds and hearts of us always. Whether Jeremy was doing "the raptor" or just making funny expressions, he could make anyone laugh. I thank him for making school a little easier on us and for always being true to himself, friends and family! He was truly a gift from God. We are lost without him. Jeremy, I love you and will miss you always.

Jeremy Sandvick Monroe will always be remembered as a Hero...God Bless all of you and give you strength during this very difficult time in your lives.

I can't express how sorry I am for your loss, Jeremy was truly one in a billion, the best. I only found out last night or I would have been there for the services. I know you have lots of support from your family and friends and a grateful nation.
I have been thinking about Jeremy all day and for every time I cry, there is a happy memory that makes me smile. The first time I met Jeremy I think he was about 9 years old and he came right up to me, took off his hat and offered me his hand as he introduced himself. You could have knocked me over with a feather. He was funny, sweet, smart, polite, respectful, a good son and brother, and an absolute joy to be around. I can't imagine what you are all going through, the depth of your loss is incomprehensible. Please know how many people will miss Jeremy and how many of us feel blessed to have known him. He is truly a son and brother to proud of.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers and I miss you.

Dear Melissa and family: It has been far too many years since I have seen Jeremy or the rest of the family, for that I am sorry. It is painful to think that so much time has past and so much life lived, yet it is at a time such a this that we regret missing out out on so much. I know that Jeremy served not only his family well, but his country. It is due to his efforts that the rest of us remain free. The only thing that I can leave you with is this: "I feel how weak and fruitless must be any words of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering to you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic "he" died to save. I pray that our heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a scarifiace upon the altar of freedom.

I went to school with Jeremy when he was going to high school in Chinook I was a year ahead of him. I would always see him in the hallways and he always had a smile on his face and I always knew that he was the kind of person that didn't let things get to him. He was a great friend to me and I will miss him dearly. To Jeremy's family: my thoughts and prayers go out to you during this difficult time.

Dear Monroe Family,
Even though we have never met, I feel as if we are a part of a "family". My daughter's fiancee was killed by an IED in Iraq on 10/3/05. It is my prayer that you will feel God holding you as close to His heart as He has held my family this past year. May you feel His peace and comfort as you travel down this difficult road

I never met LCPL Jeremy S. Sandvick Monroe, but I feel the need to write something not just because I have loved ones in the military and a brother in Iraq but also because he was a fellow Montanan. Your son and loved one did so much in his life, more than most of his fellow citizens, and I bet he touched just as many lives. He is a hero and a true inspiration. In his brothers and sisters, his memory will live on and I'd like to think it'd be the same with his fellow Marines.
God bless you and may God watch over your family in this troubling time. I know God has surrounded your loved one with His grace and divine pressence.

I am so sorry for your loss, I would be at the funeral if it were at all possible. I will be there in heart. Missy, you should be so proud of the way Jeremy and his brothers and sisters turned out. I know for a fact that it was hard for you, I was there, and they are fine young adults. Again, I wish you didn't have to go through this, I am truly sorry.

Dear Mother (Mellissa) of Jeremy,
I remember when in 1956 I was in the
service in the Pacific how proud I was, and how proud my Mother was of
me for serving our country. I hope
you know that all of the veterans of
the United States are with you in your time of loss and that we are praying for you now. Hold your head
up high and remember your love and
what Jeremy has given for all of us.
God will give him a good home, and
you will meet again on the other side. Bless all our kids in this time of turmoil. Respectfully,

To Jeremy's family and friends-
My family and I are praying for you and your family during this difficult time. We send our deepest empathy as we lost our Marine on 11/30/05 in Fallujah. We are comforted to know that our Marines are serving their country with such honor and bravery. We are so proud of our Marines and all of our other service men and women for all that they have done and continue to do to keep us safe and to give us the freedom we have that so many take for granted.
They are true Heroes and need to always be remembered for their selflessness and sacrifice to better our world. We will forever be united in the loss of our heros. We are so sorry for your loss and hope our words will ease some of the pain, and maybe fill some of your emptiness.
Yesterday, Today, Forever – Semper Fi - Marines!
Our sincerest gratitude for their bravery-

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve. Be proud of Jeremy's choice to serve his country. His sacrifice was as noble as any who have gone before him. Every American, regardless of political orientation, owes you and your son their gratitude for his courage and ultimate sacrifice.

Condolences to the Family of Lance Cpl Jeremy S. Sandvick Monroe:
I am deeply saddened to see that another soldier has been KIA in the Middle East. Our family wants you to know that we grieve with you over the loss of another precious soul such as Jeremy. I know from first hand experience what you are feeling and what you must be going through since I lost my son in Ramadi, Iraq on December 1, 2005, SFC Brent A. Adams.
I know there is nothing I can say at this point in time that will ease your pain and sorrow over the terrible loss of your brave and courageous son Jeremy. We know your hearts are broken and devasted and there is now a void and deep sadness in your heart that will never be filled. It is like a scar that will always remain with you. May it help you to know that there are others who share your pain, agony and sorrow. While the pain will probably never leave but lessen some with time, we pray the Lord gives you comfort, peace and strength to help you cope with this earth shattering loss no parent ever wants to experience.
This is an extremely difficult time, but hold on to those wonderful memories of your brave soldier….the ones that make you laugh and remember with joy the moments that you shared. The laughter between all those tears is one of the ways that will help you work through your grief. Jeremy is a hero (a man admired for his achievements and noble qualities) and even though we were not fortunate enough to know him we pray for you and all your family and for all those men and women serving our country so valiantly. Our children have made the ultimate sacrifice and they will always be honored and never forgotten. Unfortunately these tragic events have bound all of us together and changed our lives forever. God Bless you and all those who mourn the loss of OUR FALLEN HEROES and thank you for the courageous service your soldier preformed for all of us. We wait for the day we can be reunited once again with our loved ones in the Lord’s House. You now have your own guardian angel to watch over all of you. If you feel the need to talk about your son we would be glad to listen and hear more about the life of your loved one. It may help to talk with someone else who has lost their brave soldier also.
Barb Benard (Proud and loving mother of SFC Brent A. Adams KIA 12/1/05)

To the Family of Lance Cpl. Jeremy S. Sandvick Monroe:
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courgeous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life. We lost a son (SFC Brent A. Adams) 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday.
I wish so badly there was something I could say to you right now, but, I know first hand there simply are no words that will bring you the comfort and peace your heart aches for right now. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you go through this tragedy moment by moment and as you mourn this loss. We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with as your heart is both bursting with pride and pain together. I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally, but none of these courageous men and women will be forgotten. They will never be able to be replaced, but sometime, someday your loving memories will help to sustain you and help you go on. This courageous soldier will forever be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well. To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is those wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever. If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero. God Bless this courageous soldier and family and God Bless legacy.com for setting up this site where families can so quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves.
