Jeremy Wall Obituary
age 42, of Hope Furnace Road, Hope, died on Tuesday, February 19, 2019. He was the loving husband of Ashley D. (Leja) Wall.
Born in Providence, the free spirited and adventurous son of Jean A. Costello and Frederick A. Costello of Warwick, he lived in Glocester before moving to Hope three years ago.
A 1994 graduate of Pilgrim High School in Warwick, Jeremy earned a bachelor's degree in adventure education at Prescott College in Prescott, AZ in 1999.
Jeremy was a proud fourth generation firefighter, and served with his brothers and sisters of the Cranston Fire Department for the last 13 years, most recently at Station 5. He was a member of IAFF Local # 1363.
Jeremy's love of and passion for the outdoors was a theme throughout his life. Whether he was rock climbing, hiking, kayaking, or white water rafting, it was part of his soul. A great outdoorsman, he was employed at Maine Kayak in New Harbor, ME, and was formerly, but forever, a white water guide for North Country Rivers.
Family was his priority, and he cherished his time with his wife, kids, and everyone who touched his life.
In addition to his wife and parents, he is survived by his daughter, Cassidy M. Wall, and two sons, Sebastian C. Wall and Wyatt E. Wall, all at home; his sister, Jessica R. Wall of Weymouth, MA; his niece, Morgan M. Wall-Moore of Weymouth; his second mother, Joan Wall Boutier of Warwick; his mother-in-law and father-in-law, John and Suzanne Leja of Chepachet; and his sister-in-law, Courtney Leja of Pascoag. His memory also lives on through his many cherished aunts, uncles, and cousins, and the members of the Cranston Fire Department.
His funeral service will be held on Monday, February 25, at 10 a.m. in Trinity Episcopal Church, 139 Ocean Avenue, Cranston. (Friends are asked to gather directly at the church.) Visiting hours will be held on Sunday from 2-6 p.m. in the Barrett & Cotter Funeral Home, 1328 Warwick Avenue, Spring Green, Warwick. Kindly omit flowers. Contributions in his memory may be made to the Firefighter Behavioral Health Alliance, 3655 W. Anthem Way, Suite A109-374, Anthem, AZ 85086. www.barrettandcotter.com

As a roommate and friend at Prescott, Jeremy was a big part of my life at at that time. We spent time hiking, walking our dogs, boating, skiing, climbing, and traveling and camping all over the Southwest. I can't imagine those days without Jeremy along side. We went our own ways after college but through Facebook I was able to get a little glimpse of how he was getting on. Never, ever did I think he would leave this world so soon. My heart goes out to his whole family and my deepest condolences to them.

So saddened to hear the news of Jeremys passing. Its hard to know what to write. After many years of visiting RI year after year and catching up with him during family visits, I have some lovely memories of him, and am truly so shocked he has passed. In remembering I think of how he always had the best smile! Always smiling. He had an electric energy in his eyes which showed an insight into his adventurous spirit! He had seen the world and experienced more than most double his age! I know he was blessed with a lovely family and beautiful wife and kids- my thoughts, prayers and hope for strength goes to all. Nothing makes it better as it is just so sad he has gone I know but he is looking down on and will keep an eye out for all those that loved him. Id like to think he is having a pint up there with my Dad and hanging with all the other legends who have gone before.
Sent with love from Hannah Rushton Uzoanya and family in England. Rest in peace Jeremy x

I just dont know what to say. I want to help in some small way if possible. I dont know what that will be yet, but please let me know if something comes to mind. I am so so sorry. I do know that He tells us in His Bible that He can carry our heaviest burdens, and He so wants to. When we are weak then we are strong. In Him we are strong. Draw close to Him. His yoke is easy and His burden is light.
