Dear Dalka Family,
I worked with Jeremy only a short time at the Golds Gym/Urban Active in Legacy Village.
Another trainer still working there told me of Jeremy's passing.
I was always impressed by Jeremy.
He was very genuine and kind.
I am so very sorry for your loss.
Sincerely, Cathy Doyle

You have magnificent parents and many wonderful friends that will be by your side through this very difficult time. I love you dearly and wish you peace in your heart my dear friend. It is so difficult at times when we lose someone we love and cannot see or touch them anymore but we must live our lives here on earth and one day you will see Jeremy again.
I love you always.

It has been years since I have seen or spoken to Jeremy, too many. I always remember him in a crowds. With Joe, Gerald, Chad and Pat (as well as many others)I am stunned by this awful news. I have only good memories....his smile so inviting, his laughter, infectious and he always greeted you with a warm hug.. My heart goes out to his loved ones as well as prayers for your healing. May someday soon, the memories that bring you tears, bring you smiles. I will miss him.

As a great friend and the most fun I have had with Jeremy while attending the four years of high school...he surely fulfilled a void in my life in seeing life in a very entertaining way. Hanging out with our small group of friends, working on cars ( loved the "peace" van we painted), and exploring our musical interest made high school much more tolerable. My prayers will always be with you and Jeremy will be greatly missed.
With Sympathy,

Jeremy was one of my closest friends. He always could put a smile on your face when you needed it and was always willing to help you out in anyway he could.The days at work when he would eat his tuna concocktions i'll never forget. He was a big man but a tender kind soul. Jeremy will always be loved and remembered in my heart.I am here for anyone who needs an ear or a shoulder.

Jeremy Dalka. These are the words that come to mind. Hippie. Gearhead. Musician. Bodybuilder. Friend. Every one of these words I have mentioned I have a story or many stories to tell. In our early years, Joe Beal, Gerald Bourn, Jeremy & I were inseperable. We did quite a bit of everything together. We rode around in his hippie van to the tunes of Bob Dylan & the Bee Gees. Good Times. Once we all started getting married, having kids & whatnot, time got between some of us & we didn't see as much of each other. That is a shame, but I always tried to stop by & visit Jeremy when I went to my mother in laws house, as she lived around the corner from him. I will always cherish one of the last few times I saw him, in my dining room, Joe, Jeremy & I drinking beers & looking @ old high school yearbooks, laughing it up. We had a good time that day. That's what I want to remember. I want to remember all the crazy stuff we did. I wish I could tell you all of those stories, & in turn, have you tell me all of yours, as well. I fully intend to celebrate, with those memories, the life of one of my best friends I have ever had, Jeremy Dalka...R.I.P. I love you. To those he has left behind...if you need anything, let me know. This goes for all of you. I have big shoulders, so long as I, in turn, can borrow yours...I love you all as well.

To the Dalka and Albright families:
I know there are no words I can say to help alleviate your pain, but please know there are many people praying for you. When my brother passed away, someone gave this cross-stitch to my sister-in-law. It said "When someone you love becomes a memeory, the memory becomes a treasure". Cherish the good memeories and hold them close.
