Jeremy it has almost been four years since you left us. It is as vivid today as it was then. You don't know how much you are missed. Oh how I wish you were still here but the good Lord had other plans for you. We still miss you though. Love

It's been a while since I watched you raise that Marine flag on the pole at Tim and Amy's when you got home from boot camp. I will never forget you standing there saluting what you had worked so hard to get. I think of you each day, as many others do. I have read your name everyday, it's on the back window of my van. Someone asked my today why your name and not the names of family I have up there with you who served. You know my answer was quick, without thought. "Because this young man, against all odds in his life, wanted, went for and worked the hardest to be "The Best."
Jeremy, back in the day, when you were leaving for boot camp and when you got home, I will always cheerish the talks we had. You were a person of few words until you felt you could trust, and it meant so much to know that you could talk to me. I will always be grateful to you for the talks you had with Jennifer. A parent always wonders if what they say is even heard? Without a doubt, she heard what you said. And, it was always good advise. I thank you for that. I thank you for being the man in uniform that Tim and Amy are so proud of. I thank you for being who you were. I pray everyday that the young people in our country will take advantage of the sacrafice you made so they could have a choice to do something with their lives. You are an example of a person who had nothing handed to them, yet decided to do something with themselves. I am very proud to have known you. You, Jeremy are what we all should strive to be.
I pray that heaven is all I beleive it is, and if so, I am glad you are there.
Thoughts and prays come to you everyday. Until we meet again, please watch over us, as I know all of you in uniform do. I am grateful to each and everyone one of you, each and everyday.
Thank you, for you.

Hey grandson, this is your grandmother. We are in another year and missing you. Christmas was pretty good, considering now that I am older it is just another day for me. I still miss you. Your name and Elizabeth's name were mentioned Christmas eve. I know if both of you were living you would be hanging out together now.

It seems like only yesterday that you were here with the rest of the children, Playing and having a good time. Yesterday we had a parade in front of the house and then all of the children went over to the Sandston ball field where they had games and the kids really had a good time.

Hey buddy,
It's me again. I just wanted to say hi. I wanted to tell you I still think about you every day. As always I still feel like your sitting here talking to me. In my heart I know you always will be. I'm just curious what your up to now a days. I could only imagine...fishing, hunting, driving around in a huge truck or four wheeler? I wonder do you even have to have a liscense for those things up there? Are there even roads? :) I guess that would be your kind of place huh... off road all the time...

Jeremy,
Hey how are you? I miss you so much... I was actually thinking about you the other day. I was at school and we had a speaker come talk to us about the Columbine shooting in 1999. At the end of his presentation the guy asked us to think of the people that we care about the most and you were the first person that jumped into my mind. But, anyway, I hope everything up there is going ok. I'm trying to get into the military but i'm having to get some documentations on my medical stuff first and hope that I get it wavered so I can go in. Keep yor fingers crossed... :) I'll keep you updated on everything. And you know?..... It still doesnt feel like your gone. But I know why, and that is because I have not gone a day not thinking about you and I know that you are still in my heart. Well I have to go but I'll talk to you soon...
Love You

Jeremy,
It amazes me how fast the time has gone by, I cant believe its already been two years...Knowing you are up there looking out for me makes these days just a little bit better. I was honored to be your friend, look over your family while im over here. We all love and miss you. Im sure my brother would say the exact same thing even though its not nearly as easy for him to express everything as it is for me. Thanks for keeping me safe while i was in the sandbox. Keep those gates safe. Ooh-Rah devil dog.

Hey Jeremy, it's me. It has almost been two years. Wow. I miss you so much. I wanted to tell you that I have looked into the Marines and I am planning on trying to go to bootcamp next year. I just got my knee surgeries so I'm hoping they will heal fine. Not only do I want to keep your dreams alive but I want to be a United States Marine. But since i'll be a woman Marine, i'll be part of the fewer and the prouder section I guess;). You know the last couple weeks have been very hard for me and I have been having a rough time. I have even broken down in tears a few times. Everytime I get upset like that I think about the things you told me about being strong and loving yourself. I do wish you were here because when you were I had someone to talk to that would sit and listen to me and be there for me. But like I said, I think about the things you said. One thing that always runs through my head is... "Be the best you can and believe that things will get better. You need to trust in your heart. Even though things don't always work out the way you want them to doesn't mean that bigger and better things won't be waiting for you at the finish line." I believe you. You are my idol because of the things you said and the things that you did. Including making your dream, to be a United States Marine a reality. And I think about what you said everyday. I hope your doing ok and having fun up there... well I got to go. Remember we all love you down here and we miss you. We will until the end of time.

I can't believe it's been over a year. About a year and a half since the last time I saw you face to face. You are a true hero and I have decided to name my first child in your honor. I was truly blessed to have you as a friend and will always treasure the times we spent together. I miss you every day and I will never, ever forget you or the sacrifice that you made for this country.

In Memory of Jeremy Lee ~ (Debra Estep)
July 1, 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.

Jeremy, I want to thank you for standing up for what you believe and for taking care of our country. The few years that I knew you, you were a very close friend to me. Not only that, but I considered you my very own brother. You talked to me when I was sad and you helped understand that there are somethings in life that we have to learn to over come. I learned that what you said was true. I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU! And when I am 17, I AM signing up for the USMC. I will finish what you started. And I will keep your dream strong. I love you. I'll never let go.......
You ARE MY TRUE HERO!

Its been almost a year since you passed in I keep remembering all the fun we had here on the farm, you riding my GIRLS bike that people could tell was way to small for you over the bridge, you teaching me how to climd the tree in my front yard. I could go on for ever, just know your always in my heart.

Dude, I'm so sorry about what happened to you. I heard the news. Although we had a pretty boring time in A.P. Hill it was still a blast because I got to know you so well... I didn't expect to be the one to bring you back to Al Asad before you finally got to go back home. It's the one thing that I'll never forget. I'm sure you'd probably kill me for this, but I got your name in a cross with Msgt. Mack and Cpl. Palmer as well... Rest in Peace brother and I hope to see you in the future...

I am so sorry to hear this and knowing so late what happened makes me feel even worse all I can say is I remember when we were just children going to church and knowing that you are no longer here to live out a life that was taken so short really hurts, but it is good to know you are in a better place looking down on all your love ones and the will see you again someday.

I never met this Marine but I know many like him. One way at home another in uniform. A warrior on a mission in Iraq, a son and friend when at home. Imbued with the strength and dignity from his families upbringing. Who answered the call when others wavered, who stood tall while others hid. Who paid the price for us all. His family will always grieve, always see him. The Marines will always honor him. Others have and will follow the path he blazed. I never met him but will always treasure the memory of him every time I see a Marine.

I will never forget the times I spent with my son Jeremy. We went to trips at Blue Ridge Parkway, King's Dominion, and went swimming at Ridgeview Park. I taught him sign language since I am deaf myself. He learned to overcome the challenges in communicating with deaf people. I am very proud of my son.

Another Fallen Hero ~
My heart breaks as I sign another guestbook of such a courageous soldier who gave his life so selflessly. May he rest in peace knowing that he is loved and remembered by those who knew him. God Bless this soldier and his family who gave all and made the ultimate sacrifice. May God grant you peace, strength and comfort in such a difficult time. My deepest condolences and prayers are with the entire family.
We understand what you are experiencing and feeling. No amount of words can ease the pain of your loss. We know first hand there are no words of comfort at this time. We lost our only son 9-3-2004 at the age of 19 and it fells like yesterday. Just know that there are Marines and families across the USA who is experiencing your loss and pain. You are not alone. We will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes.
I still fly my Marine flag and have my Marine tag and sticker on my vehicles because I'm PROUD of my SON and DAUGHTER, and all the SERVICE MEN and WOMEN out there. We will always be a MARINE. We are proud of you all. “Land of the Free, Because of the Brave”
Thank you Legacy.com for setting up this website so families can quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves across this great nation.

When I left this world without you
I know it mad you blue.
Your tears fell so freely,
I watched Iknow this is true.
While you were weeping,
Days after I passes away -
While all was silent within me,
I saw you kneel and pray.
From this wonderful place called heaven
Where all my pain is gone,
I sent a gentle breeze to whisper,
"My loved ones, please go on."
The peace that I have found here
Goes far beyond compare
No rain, no clouds, no suffering -
Just LOVE from everywhere.
You need not be troubled
Just stay close to God in prayer
someday we'll be reunited
My love, his love surronds you always
EVERYWHERE!!!
Once a Marine ALWAYS A MARINE!!

Father we entrust our brother Jeremy to your mercy. You loved him greatly in this life: now that he is freed from all its cares, give him happiness and peace forever. Welcome him now into paradise where there will be no more sorrow, no more weeping or pain, but only peace and joy with Jesus your Son, and the Holy Spirit forever and ever.
May God hold Jeremy in the palm of His hand. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. My deepest sympathy.

I would like to thank you for what it took for you as parents to release him in the hands of the MARINES. My nephew serves in the army and did two tours and had to turn around in mid air only to return back with the 172 armored div. He is in the states now, but as we know there is no guarantees of not to go back. I am so very sorry for your loss and may God be with you. Grief with such a loss is not easy to get over but i will pray that the hurt you are feeling will ease. God bless you all.

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.

My heart goes out to the family of this fallen hero. I pray that God will pour his comfort upon all of you as you pass through this sorrowful time. I wish that I could have known this fine young man. Not knowing him surely is a loss for me. The Tinnel family is not alone, there are others signing this book who know all to well how the family feels at this time. After I lost Jared each day was hard but with the comfort of the Lord and reaching out to others in his guest book who had been through the same thing helped the days get better. I hope the same holds true for you. May God Bless you all.

I havent seen you in about 2 years. The last time i saw you was at countryfest. I walked up to you and was shocked because i havent seen you in forever. I remember lots of things when we were young. You would always come over the house on hanover rd right near your parents and play basketball with me and my brother and some other friends then we would all hang out and talk. You were a great friend. Never forget those memories. I have only met your father when we would go over your house to play paintball and stuff. I am sorry to hear that this has happen. To his wife im sorry too and ill keep yall in my prayers.

To Harold, Joyce and family, it is with great sadness in my heart to her of the loss of Jeremy. I did not know he was in the military, but I know he was a great soldier. We are all proud of him and his willingness to fight for our Freedom. It has been a few years since I last saw him. He was still in school and would come over to Lance and Wendy’s house on Hanover Road to visit. This is a great loss. He will not be forgotten; he is in heaven with our savor watching over all of us. May God Bless this family and friends in this time of sorrow.

Tim and Amy,
There are not words to help with the pain you are feeling at this time. Please find comfort in knowing that by accepting Jeremy into your hearts and home when he came to you as a young teen was truly a selfless act that set the steps in place for him to accomplish what he wanted and needed at that time in his life. Jeremy was able to reach a place in his life that he rightfully deserved and was proud of. To be one of "The Best" an American Marine. Jeremy was a wonderful person who will never be forgotten nor will what he has given for us. I will always remember Jeremy as being a very REAL person with a passion for fun. Jeremy gave the greatest for us, he lost his life fighting to allow us the freedoms of this land, and he will always be remembered for doing so not only in our hearts, but in hearts of millions who are grateful everyday for the job that he choose to do. He may not be here with us, but he will always be in our hearts and memories. Those of us who truly knew Jeremy are richer and blessed for the time we shared with him.

To the Family and Friends of this Soldier:
I will stand in grief with this soldier's family to honor him. 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 guestbook for the rest of my life, but I promised Brent that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
We lost our son SFC Brent A. Adams on 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday. I wish so badly there were things I could say to you right now to make the pain you are feeling go away, but I know first hand there simply are no words that will bring you the comfort and peace your heart aches for. 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 our hearts both burst with pride and pain together.
I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally. While they can never be replaced, neither will they ever be forgotten. You must trust that sometime, someday the loving memories you have 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 your 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 soldier and family who gave all and God Bless legacy.com for setting up this site where families can so quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves.

While all of my memories of Jeremy are of him as a young boy, I was still completely devastated when I heard of his passing. Even though I knew he was saved and heaven bound, the loss was extremely difficult for me, for you see I was quite active in church and in the children’s ministry years ago. I see Jeremy as if he were a kid of my own, sitting beside him often in children’s church to help him stay out of trouble, being his camp counselor at camp, going over memory verses, searching for grasshoppers around the pond at camp so we and a few others could go fishing, among so many other things. Like other kids he was sure to get in trouble from time to time, but he was still an incredible kid.I still see Jeremy as a little 10 year old boy, and it’s hard for me to see him all grown up in his Marines photo, as he will always be my little camper. As time passed, I strayed away from church and missed out on watching Jeremy grow into an incredible young man among other things.
It was wonderful seeing his amazing smile in the photos of him growing up, serving God, and our country. While I still feel a little empty with him being gone, you should know that in his passing, it has brought me back to church again. Amazingly, one of the main things I got from Sunday’s service was to get back to work serving God with the talents you have. God’s timing is amazing.
It’s an honor to have been a part of Jeremy’s life. If there is anything I can do for you just let me know. Look around church, I'm sure you'll find me there.

I'm very sorry that you had to lose a son, brother, cousin, husband, and much more to all the people that have signed this guest book. I didn't know Jeremy or any of the family, but I am the mother of a Marine and a former Marine myself. I know they are the best of the best. Jeremy sounds like he was a great guy. I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. Take comfort in the love of friends and family. Semper Fi.

To the family of Jeremy, my grief for the loss of your son is felt. I know what it's like to loose your child in war as my son was killed in action too. It feels that your heart has been ripped from you and you don't understand why this happened to your child. I've felt all you will feel in the coming days and weeks and though I’m not close in relation to area, but I am very close by email. I offer any support to you and your family that I can. It's with the Grace of God that I've gotten through each day and with His healing love and comfort that I've been able to once again sleep at night and not cry each day. Believe me I do know how hard it is. May God continue to heal you and your family and contact me when and if you are ever ready, even if it's to vent or cry.
