Jeremy was a good friend while we were together at Clearwater Christian College. We enjoyed good competition on the basketball court and he was always such a loyal friend. I remember his friendship and kindness and send his family my blessings today.

dear the levesque

I'm sorry that I never got chance to meet jeremy he seems like a really godly man.Sometimes its hard to give up the things that means the most to you but sometimes its for the better. Jeremy is in a better place now were he wont have any more worries and pain but he gets to spend the rest of his life with the lord which is the most wonderful thing in the world. But all we can do now is not grive but think of the good time that we have had with him and the memories which will last a life time. I will keep all of you in my prayes an I hope everyday that you will move on and learn fromhis mistakes and live fo him. Hes only in another place and we all will soon get to be with him.

love,

KRYSTAl

Dear Levesque family,



My words would never be enough to try to comfort you. It is only Christ and His word that can do that right now. Look to Him for comfort in knowing that you will some day soon see your beloved son and brother, and I will some day see my friend. Keep your eyes on Christ and don't look down. I love you all very much and am keeping you all in my prayers.

Dear Kent and Karen,

We thank God for you and praise Him for the great gift of eternal life that He has given us.His promises never fail and therefore we have this assurance that we will all be together with Jesus for eternity. As you mourn the loss of your dear son, remember the time is short that you will be reunited with Jeremy. If Jeremy could speak to you now, I'm sure he would say, "dad and mom ,fight the good fight,finish the course, keep the faith; I'll see you soon."

We love you and hold you up in prayer without ceasing.

By His Grace,

Pastor and Beth

Dear Kent, Karen and Family,



Thank you for the honor and privilege of letting me coach Jeremy thoughout his high school years. He was a wonderful young man. His witness and testemony for the Lord was exemplary. As I have told you before, if ever I was to have a son, I would like him to be like Jeremy. God bless you all.

To Josh,



Josh, although I didn't know your brother, from reading all these kind notes, he sounded like a very nice young man who was taken too soon in his young life.



I'm sorry I couldn't make any of the services. I found out too late to attend.



My thoughts are with you and your family at this difficult time.



With Sincere Sympathies,

Dear Levesques,



I love you all, from the day we met you took me in as a dear friend. I loved Jeremy deeply, and I will miss him terribly. Josh and Jon, I love you two still very much, you three were as brothers to me. No one could ever replace his spot in my heart, but I thank God that I did know him. Jeremy gave me motivation to try harder, I am very grateful to have played sports with him, but even more grateful that I knew him as a close friend.



I thank God that he knew Jesus as his personal Savior, we had many doctrinal discussions that strengthened my walk with Christ. Jeremy was a leader that worked hard for everything he wanted. Mr. and Mrs. Levesque, I cannot begin to write words of comfort to you, but I love you both very much. My prayers are with your family, this is not goodbye, just see you later.

What a wondrous thing to see a wide network of Christians come together to support those in times of need. The Levesque's are blessed that they are NOT alone!



Kent, Karen, Josh, Dawn, and John...you are loved very much by this family. We treasure your friendship and the good memories we and our children have had together both on and off the "court" :o)



May the memories of Jeremy get ever sweeter with the passage of time.



Our thoughts and prayers are with you, and may God grant you peace and comfort.

To the whole Levesque Family,



Words cannot even begin to express the sorrow that you must be feeling right now. Each of you have been such a blessing to our children, especially Coach, John and Jeremy in their love for Brian over these last few years, and Karen, who has loved all of our children with the love of Christ. I remember so many games where each one of you took the time to talk to my little ones and make them feel ten feet tall.



Know that we are praying for you, hurting with you, and loving each and every one of you through. Jeremy must be so proud of how you are dealing with this. We, as mere mortals often wonder how God so willingly gave his Son for us.Yet we know that He will not forsake any of you now...



He has your son in His arms.



With His love and eternal promises,



The Farria Family

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Levesque and family,



We did not have the privelege of knowing your family well, but we watched the boys play many a basketball game at Heritage. Their skill and testimony were always greatly admired. We are thankful to have seen Jeremy just a few days before the accident, and to chat just a few words. He was such a blessing to be around. We are heart-broken and we will miss him a great deal. Our thoughts and prayers are with you constantly at this time. May you find grace and strength and peace in our gracious and sovereign God at this time. Thank you for your gracious and sweet testimony here at home and throughout the country as well! We look forward to a great reunion one day with Jeremy!



Love from your friends in Christ,

Chris and Helen Cormell

Mr. and Mrs. Levesque, and Family,

It is with great sadness that I offer you my sincere sympathy over the loss of Jeremy. Although I have not had the pleasure of meeting you, I did meet Jeremy several years ago at Hoops Fest. As a coach, I enjoyed watching him shoot the basketball but more importantly, I remember how polite and friendly he was. I will keep all of you in my prayers and I hope you find some comfort in knowing that Jeremy is with the Lord now and watching over all of you.

May God Bless, comfort, and keep you in the palm of his hand!

Kent, Karen, Josh, Dawn, and John:



We know how difficult it is to lose someone so dear and close to our hearts. We know that Jeremy is with the Lord now, and we all rejoice in that comfort! Trust in Him, and He will guide you through this difficult time. Like my father said Sunday (who knows this pain first hand), there simply are no "magic" words that can express the magnitude or shock of this loss; but, if you look first to Him, and then to each other for loving support, He will guide you through this time and heal your pain, and fill the void. All our hearts and prayers are with you and your family, and we will look forward to seeing Jeremy (and Sean!) in Glory!



With love,

Peter & Janee Kowalsky

I was heartbroken to hear of your loss. Though I didn't have the opportunity to attend school with Jeremy, he was always someone I respected and liked very much. My deepest condolences to the entire Levesque family.

My heart and prayers goes out to the Levesque family in this time of sorrow. Jeremy was a wonderful christian example, a person that everyone looked up to, and an inspiration to everyone around him, even when he did not know he was being looked up to, loved, and followed by so many, young or old, girl or boy, athlete or non-athlete. Although I was friends with him, I did not have the privlege of knowing Jeremy as long or as well as others, but by looking at the way he lived, I believe that his words right now would be somthing like, "Cry if you must, miss me if you will, but do not be sad for me, for I go to a place far better than anything this world could offer me." There is no doubt in my mind that Jeremy is now with our Lord.

Kent and Family,



I was heartbroken when I heard the tragic news about Jeremy. I know how much your family loved each other and the Lord, and I grieve with you. My afternoon was not the same after I was told about the accident.



Kent, I respect you a lot as a Christian brother and friend. I know that your burden is heavy, but it is being uplifted in prayer all around the country. The administrative cabinet at Pillsbury prayed for you and your family today, and I want you to know that you will continue to be in my prayers.



O taste and see that the Lord is good, blessed is the man that trusteth in Him. Ps. 34:8



Keep on serving the Lord, Kent. May the Lord use this tragedy to bring others to himself.



Your friend,

When someone spends his life with the goal to make an impact on those around him, he does. Jeremy is one who BY FAR made a great impressionon my life. Glad memories and sad rememberance fill our hearts now. We may never understand why, but God knows the reasons and He knows who all will be touched and gain from our loss. REMEMBERED ALWAYS FONDLY...



"But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed--always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So then death is working in us, but life in you.

"And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, 'I believed and therefore I spoke,' we also believe and therefore speak, knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you. For all things are for your sakes, that grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to about to the glory of God,

"Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the thinkgs which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal."

~II Corinthians 4:7-18

I went head to head with Jeremy on the basketball court from the sixth grade until we graduated high school. I respected Jeremy as a basketball player. I had a greater respect for Jeremy as a person. He was one of the most loyal people I have ever met. He would have done anything for his friends. Jeremy has always been a great example to me and still is. No doubt his influence extends farther than we will ever know. I will never forget Jeremy. I have a great deal of respect for each member of the Levesque family. I deeply appreciate the friendship that you show me. My thoughts and prayers go out to you.

Daniel & Staci Rowenhorst

We love you Jeremy, words could not begin to express the void in our hearts. The many hours that we all spent together at school and on that basketball court are engraved in our memories forever. You will always have a huge place in our heart and in our family, we can not wait to see you again in heaven. We love you and your family always.
