Jeremy was a very hard worker who took great pride in what he did. He was the only person we wanted working on our car. He always had a positive attitude and was always such a nice guy. I know he will be missed by many. God Bless you and you're family

Jeremy was a friend.He worked on our 1996 Z 28 convertable at Superior Cadillac. After he worked on our car, he always came out to visit with me about the car. Inside the car was always a nice note from him. It was a pleasure to know him, and all of the associates at Superior were really impressed with his attitude and talent. I shall miss him very much as he was my friend.

I was good friends with Jeremy in high school but we fell out of touch after graduation. We had classes together and were both in Scholar Bowl. He always carried around a catalog on cars and had strong opinions about this car over that car. So I'm glad to discover that he became a mechanic and got to work/play with cars everyday. I was very saddened to find out yesterday that he died. I offer my condolences to his family.

Carla & James please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prays. We was shocked to hear the news of your loss. We have watched Jeremy over the years as a young man who took such pride in his love for cars. He inspired our son to make his first purchase of gas powered remote car. I can't imagine dealing with your loss, it seems so unfair that God takes someone that young. God Bless...

I asked God why the young must die.

He told me mine’s not to reason why.

“Enjoy the times of joy, not sorrow.”

“We never know what comes tomorrow.”

Now safe in his kingdom far above.

With all the angels to share his love.

A friend to all, asking nothing in return.

Helping others was Jeremy’s only concern.

Without knowing my name a helping hand you gave.

In the heart of my family your memory we save.

Gods Speed suicycle.

jeremy has worked on "several" cars that we've had in the past and actually showed me how to do it and was a damn good friend with all kinds of mechanical knowledge.
we did lose a great person when he passed.

What to say about Jeremy...its tough, because there aren't a whole lot of words which can truly describe Jeremy...He was an incredible person, who would go to any length necessary to help out his friends, all the while not caring for anything in return...He put everyone else above himself, just because that's the kind of person he was...Jeremy was a great friend and he will truly be missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

RIP Bro, we'll never forget you!

I never met Jeremy in person. Only thru email, and a couple phone conversations. He was someone you could appreciate, from his automotive views, to Mizzoui, and on to NASCAR. Godspeed Mr Goodwrench, and God Bless the ones lucky enough to call him family

The Surcease of Sorrow

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am the sparkle in the snow.
I am the shredded leaves that blow.
I am the sunlight on growing grain.
I am the gentle summer rain.
I am the quiet bird at night.
Circling about; Taking flight.
So do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.


You are all this and more,
thank you for being so kind and helpful
to me and all your mofbody friends.

Carla and Family, Jeremy was a wonderful person. I remember many things about him over the years as he grew from a boy into a fine young man, but one thing that I really enjoyed was helping him learn how to parallel park a car! God Bless and we will truely miss him.

Darrell, we are very sorry for your loss. There's a saying that when you bury an elder, you bury them in the gound, but when you bury a child, you bury them in your heart. No matter how old they are, they will always be our children. Our deepest condolences to you and all who's life Jeremy touched.
