Although I haven't seen Jeremy since our graduation, I have so many wonderful memories from various classes together, watching his wrestling matches, and just his quirky, entertaining sense of humor. He had such a gentle, loving nature about him and a contagious grin, and those qualities will certainly be remembered forever by all those who were fortunate enough to know him. You are missed, Jeremy.

Perkins family,
I am painfully sorry to hear about your loss. Although you may not know it, I considered jeremy a great friend. We grew closer with every passing year, and as I got to know him better I realized that Jeremy truly cared for everybody around him. I will never forget his unexpected visits to Moscow to come see us. His humorous and bright attitude always made it easy to be in his presence. Jeremy was a unique individual, a one of a kind, and I will never forget him. May God bless you in your times of grief and sorrow.

He touched us all in a special way. He will be truly missed. Cindy, you are our adopted sister, daughter and aunt. Our home will always be your second home. If you need a place to just curl up, sit in silence or just talk, plese know the door is always open. I pray that God will wrap his arms around you, Jerry, Alexis and Bailee and help you through this difficult time. I can only imagine the pain and heartache you are going through. We love you.

He touched my heart when he came up in the stands and gave me a hug on Senior Night. He was fun to talk to and always a gentleman. So sorry to hear the news this morning. He will not be forgotten.
