Jeremy and I served together pretty much our entire Navy Career. We left out of Buffalo together for boot camp. We were in the same division in boot camp. After graduation we both went to Lackland AFB for Master at Arms training. After that we both got stationed in Norfolk, VA. We had plenty of great times and memories together. He knew how to keep everyone entertained and laughing. Jeremy you will be missed. Rest In Peace brother.

I would like to say I send my deepest condolences to the family. I served for a few months with Jeremy in the navy back in 2017 in Norfolk, VA. He was a very fun person and always had a great attitude, and loved talked about tattoos and music. He was a very kind person. I'm sorry for your loss :(
