Please accept my deepest and most sincere condolences, I just found out today. Jeremy was a special person. He was my Company Commander in 2007 1/4 Bravo Co. Very few times in life do we come across people like Jeremy. He was the consummate Professional as a Marine, but he did things his way.

Jeremy, thanks for the good times, war was hell, and you have gone to a better place...Peace, man.

Our prayers and appreciation for all you have done for our country. Raleigh, NC family

Although he is no longer with us, his impact on my life and so many others will...
