Jeremy John Russell

Dear Dr. Russell´s Family, My condolences. I am so sorry for your loss. I was one of Dr. Russell´s first students at Phillips Exeter. I had him as my math teacher in the fall of 2020 during my sophomore year. I really enjoyed his class and getting to know him in little moments on class Zoom calls. I remember seeing a squat rack in the background of his Zoom, and we connected about lifting and rock music. I thought you might appreciate this screenshot of him teaching my class on Zoom...

Dear Dr. Russell´s family, Dr. Russell was my favorite math teacher as soon as he arrived and became my teacher during my junior year. He always supported me in my academics, sports, and music. We used to meet regularly, not even to do math but just to catch up. I had the honor of receiving my letter of recommendation to Columbia from Dr. Russell, and I was so thankful. He has been a blessing in my life, not only teaching me Calculus, but also being a mentor and friend. I´m sending all of my...

To Jeremy's Family, We were proud and also tickled to welcome Jeremy to our math department at Phillips Exeter Academy in the fall of 2020. He brought a vibrant intellect and deep care to everything he did, and I hope he is resting in peace and that you have many happy memories of Jeremy to tide you through this difficult time. With care and prayers, Gwyn Coogan

Jeremy and I were in the same cohort of incoming faculty at PEA and participated in some activities that allowed us to get to know one another fairly well. I'm very sad to learn of his passing and send heartfelt condolences to his loved ones and everyone in his orbit feeling this loss.

Rest in peace my friend! I will always remember our walks and vents during our short time we overlapped at Exeter. I just wish I had not missed your call on November 15! I called you the next day, but you did not pick up.

Dr. Russell was my advisor for over a year at Phillips Exeter Academy. In the fall of 2021, I was a new sophomore introduced to boarding school life for the first time, and at first, I struggled to adjust to Harkness math classes. Whenever I had trouble with homework, which was often, I would reach out to Dr. Russell and he would come to my dorm and patiently work with me at the common room table or on the sofa. In this way, we quickly became close. As the weeks and months went by, so much of...

Dr Russell was my daughter s advisor and dorm faculty in Phillips Exeter Academy. He was instrumental to my daughter's transition to the boarding school. I don't have words to describe how good a person he was: devoted to his students and genuinely cared about them, extremely funny, smart, skillful in teaching math. A great advisor, encourager, resourceful. He was like a trusted and knowledgeable and caring parent to his advisees. Everyone loved him tremendously. I pray for God's divine...

My dear friend Jeremy

You saw something in me that I was not able to see in myself. I will never forget your help and support during my undergrad years at Rowan. You have truly made a difference in my life.

We spoke earlier this year and planned on meeting to catch up. I regret not reaching out to you more. You were one of the kindest people I've met and I hope you are resting easy.
