Jeremy Williams Obituary

Jeremy "JerBear" Williams, 43, of Scranton, died unexpectedly of a drug overdose Thursday after a long battle with addiction.

Born in Scranton, son of Gary Williams and the late Deborah Williams, Jeremy was raised in various foster homes and group homes in the Scranton area. He also attended Scranton schools. He enjoyed cooking, hunting and fishing but his passion was helping others who were struggling with the disease of addiction.

Jeremy was a beautiful person, inside and out. He was kind, loving and shared God and his heart to all.

His daughter would like to thank the friends of Bill W. and Just Believe Recovery Center where Jeremy admitted himself for addiction treatment last month, for the last time.

Also surviving are a brother, Michael Williams and his better half, Tanya Gonzalez; daughter, Brooke Aaron and husband, Shawn; son, Devin; father, Gary Williams and wife, Barbara; grandchildren, Laythan and Ramelo; cousins, Gary, Jeff, Charlene, Sabrina and Vincent; mother-of-his-daughter, Angie; his life-long best friend, Chris; and his entire AA family.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday at 11 a.m. at Nay Aug Park in Scranton. All family and friends are welcome.

Memorial contributions can be sent to his daughter, Brooke Aaron, c/o 99 Vago Road, Tunkhannock, PA 18657.

Arrangements are under the care of the Kearney Funeral Home Inc., 125 N. Main Ave., Scranton.

Beautiful soul, goodbye for now, you will never be forgotten, being loved by so many, I guess your mission on Earth was over. You're definitely at the right hand of God. Until we meet again. My prayers are being said for the family and friends. It's never easy to grieve.
