Jeremy Scheffer Obituary

Jeremy Talbot Scheffer
Jeremy, born in Southampton NY on March 22, 1982 and last residing in Huntersville, NC, passed away on November 27th, 2010 as a result of a vehicular accident. Jeremy had a heart of gold and was known for never meeting a stranger. Jeremy considered himself a mix of Yankee-Southern style. He spent his early childhood in Mattituck NY before moving to Forest, VA for most of his elementary and middle school years. After relocating to Welcome NC, he graduated in 2000 from North Davidson HS. He attended East Tennessee State University and had a stint in the Navy in Chicago, IL. He then moved back to NY for several years to revisit where he spent his early childhood and became an avid cyclist. He returned to NC in 2008 to be home again with family and was employed at Spirited Cyclist in Huntersville. Jeremy found joy in whatever he did and brought a passion to his every pursuit.
Jeremy is survived by his sister, Jillian Scheffer of Charlotte, his mother and stepfather, Jean and Scott Hoffman of Huntersville, NC, his father, Jack Scheffer of Madison, NC, his aunts and uncles; Patti and Jerry Heaney of TX, Jackie and David Zuhoski of NY, Tom and Ellen Talbot of NY, John and Rebecca Talbot of VA, Mary and Tim Barry of MA, Chris and Barbara Talbot of NY, Alicia and Gary Ferguson of VA, Laura and John Abrahamson of UT, Denise and Tony Antongeorgi of NY, Art and Regina Scheffer of NY, Jim and Donna Scheffer of FL, Keith and Donna Scheffer of FL, Brian and Donna Scheffer of GA, Barbara and Alan Watt of NY and 36 close first cousins. He leaves behind a host of friends from Mattituck NY to Huntersville, NC. His family and friends were his whole world and he will be greatly missed.
A Funeral Mass will be conducted 11:00 a.m. Friday December 3, 2010 at St Mark Catholic Church in Huntersville. NC. The family will receive friends on Thursday evening from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. at Raymer Funeral Home, Huntersville, NC.

Jeremy I miss my big bracha so much! You truly were the best brother anyone could ever have. You had my back for everything and there was no end to level we would go to protect each other. You came to me in my dreams last night (this morning really) and hugged me so hard I really felt it! You told me everything was okay and you were fine, that you missed me and loved me and to pay attention and look around because you're next to me always. Thank you! You were and still are my everything and I will always miss you. I love you brother!

Jack and Jillian I am so sorry for your loss. Jeremy was a wonderful friend he helped me in so many different ways over the years...He helped me put together a bike for Kaleb about 6 years ago @ midnight on Christmas eve. He was there for me through some really bad times in my life when no one else was. He always knew how to make me laugh no matter what. He was truly a loving giving person who was a blast to be around. He will be missed, Love you Jeremy. I will always cherish each memory that we shared.

Jeremy most definately had a hard of gold. My children and I grew to love him as soon as we met him. He made his mark on each one of our hearts in very special ways. His smile and laughter could brighten up even the dullest of rooms. He is loved and will be missed dearly. Until we meet again... Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I met Jeremy at Killington's and I was always so happy to see him when I walked in the door.

He was a great friend. One that I wish I would have known better and for far longer. He did so much more than sell me a bike. He gave me hope and a new hobby at a time when I was struggling. He reminded me that I had everything I needed to be happy in my two children.

I just wanted to be sure his family knew how much I appreciated that.

He thought my children were great kids and adjusted their little bikes for them even though we didn't buy them from him.

I don't think he had any idea how much he did for us. It was just his nature and big heart and I am fortunate to have had him for a friend, even if for just a brief time.

I wish his family and friends peace and I share in your loss of an exceptional person and friend.

May the God of tender mercies and comfort continue to comfort your family and friends. May you find comfort in in the words found in the Holy Scriptures:"And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry or pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." Please accept my sincere condolences during this time of your loss.
