Jeremy Saunders Obituary
He was born in Pittsfield on August 16, 1981 to Charlene and the late Thomas S. Saunders. Jeremy was a 2000 graduate of Lenox High School. After high school, he worked in construction and Landscaping.
Known by his friends as Bone, he was a kind and gentle soul with an infectious smile. The type of person who would give you the shirt off of his back, he is most often described by friends as a great kid, with a huge heart. He was wonderful with children, exhibiting a level of patience with them that many parents might find themselves envious of.
Jeremy enjoyed being outdoors and could often be seen walking his beloved dog, Nitro. That is, when Nitro wasn't walking him. What he enjoyed most, was spending time with those closest to him. No matter the location, he could be found making those around him smile. Usually it was with one of a seemingly never- ending catalog of stories that would make the listener either belly laugh to the point of crying, or recoil in shock. And on occasion, he may have even taken part in the type of shenanigans that will long be remembered by those who were there.
Besides his mother of Lenox Dale, he leaves his two brothers: Jason T. Saunders (Monica) of Lenox Dale, and Joshua D. Saunders (Rachel) of Housatonic, two nieces and a nephew.
SERVICES: The funeral of Mr. Jeremy A. Saunders of Lenox Dale will be Sunday, November 12th at 1:00 pm at St. Vincent de Paul celebrated by Rev. Monsignor John J. Bonzagni. There will be no calling hours.
In lieu of flowers donations in Jeremy's memory may be made to the Berkshire Humane Society in care of the Roche Funeral Home, 120 Main Street, Lenox, MA 01240.

To all the Saunders Family, please except my sincere condolences for Bone. Such a good kid when I'd see him. So young and so sad. I'm sure he's in Heaven. Cousin Tim.

Bone ,I have been a friend of yours for years. I have grown with you as friends of two completely different lifestyles. You listened to Classic rock and I listened to Rap. You liked skulls and confederate flags and I liked big baggy pants hanging low and backwards caps. I was different then you in almost every way. People who just look at appearance could fear meeting either one of us. We lived outside the norm. To you Peoples differences didnt matter. I will miss that, Most would never know, but probably your best quality as a friend to me. You were Always there for me good times, the many, many good times and the bad. We had the best memories of my life together whether we were skipping school to eat at Joe's Diner , Cape Cod getting tattoos, jumping off West Stockbridge quarry or at a wood fire on October Mt. It never mattered the place just our company. We have great friends. We all are aching inside for your absence from this physical place. I wish that you get what you are searching for in the next life BROTHER... I plan on seeing you there along with all of our friends. Dont take this wrong Jeremy I hope that You and Ryan are patient because I hope its a long while before any more of our friends join you... Dont worry I promise you WE WILL; Just hopefully not soon.... I love ya Thanks for the Memories bud I had the pleasure of calling you a TRUE friend
that makes me a lucky man.....

To Jeremy's family I am so very sorry for your loss. I grew up in Lenoxdale with Jeremy. I was one grade ahead of him but I remember him well as a child. A fun memory of him was all of us Dale kids going to the sandpits and cliff jumping. I haven't seen him in probably 20 years but Jeremy and his family are in my prayers.
