I did not know Jeremy but I do know George who filled a part of our lives. I know George that the loss of a son never leaves your heart and you were such a part of our lives. I wish you comfort and a peaceful happy life. You were always such a good person. Love to you and your wife.

Jeremy, it has been quite some time since we've spoken, but it seems like just yesterday we were spending hours talking on the phone, yelling at each other, making fun of one another, laughing and carrying on and that I was picking you up for school in the mornings. You always had something positive to say, even in the worst of moments. Your heart is so big and full of kindness, it's just so hard to believe you're gone. I know you will watch down on all of your loved ones, keeping them safe, because that is who you are. Rest in Peace my dear friends, we will all see you again some day <3

It breaks my heart to hear of yet another young person taking too early. I've known of you but can't recall ever chatting with one another. After reading everything everyone wrote about you and reading about how amazing you were I'm torn that I never got the chance to know you down here on earth. But you better believe that when I come face to face with you in heaven one day I will not pass up the opportunity to say hello! :) just watch over your loved ones, friends and family till we all meet again one day. You will never be forgotten. My condolences go out to your family and friends.

I know we ve had our differences and had a rough past year and a half, but no matter what you always gave me encouragement to do the right thing. We have been through alot together and had our struggles but out of it all we made a beautiful son. Im so glad you were my "first love" and i had the chance to spend every day with you for 5 years. You had a huge heart and helped anyone with anything. There will be a place in my heart for you forever. I know Austins going to grow up and be a handsome, kind hearted man just like you. You will be missed greatly but i can guarantee Austin will always love and remember his daddy. Rest in peace Jeremy

Jeremy,
We love you so much and this is going to be hard on everyone but we know that you are always going to be around looking down on all of us. You will guide your son, Shy, Autumn, and Katie. Your memory is going to live on through Austin and whenever we see him will think of you. You were an amazing brother, son, uncle, and friend who will truly be missed. Your presence will be felt everyday. There is some peace knowing that you are now with Mammaw and everyone else that we lost. We will love you forever and always Turtle.
