To the family of Jermaine Carpenter.



I had the opportunity of meeting Bro Jermaine when he was attending the church I attend. In my talking to him, I found that he was a man that did not settle for just good, but would strive for excellence. To his family, stay encouraged and know that the life he lived was not in vain, and he has gone on to a better place.



God bless you.

Our Condolences to the Carpenter Family.. Jermaine, will truly be missed, and the family will be in our hearts. God Bless

I just wanted to give my deepest condolences to the family and to say that my brother Corrie and I was the bestest of friends with Jermaine coming up. We enjoyed his humor,his laughter,drawings and his friendship. I wish that God would wrap his loving arms around the family and friends at this time and feel us with hope, joy and understanding. Let Jermaine be lifted up to a better place. And I say this in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.

I've had the pleasure of knowing Jermaine since highschool,and worked at Honda with him. my heart goes out to the whole family, stay strong and God bless each and every one of you.

I send my deepest condolenses to you, your son, and your daughters. I'm sorry that I didnt get to know you better than what I did. But the times that I did see you guys together, it was a pleasure to know you and him. It seems like not that long ago when we used to kick it, the few times that we did. But I believe you meet everybody in your life for a reason. He will be missed.

When I think about Jermaine, I can not remember a time when he was not smiling. I remember walking home from school with him and I would laugh all the way. You will be greatly missed. My heart goes out to your family and I will keep all of you in my prayers.

Dear Family of Jermaine,

We are originally from Davenport, moved here to Washington in 1974 - but still stay in touch with relatives and friends there. Happened to catch the notice regarding Jermaine on the Quad City Times web site this A.M. We did not know your loved one, but felt compelled to write you and express our condolences and thoughts.

Jermaine sounds like a very loving and caring man, and the loss of someone like that is hard to comprehend and understand. Especially when you know how much good he was doing, and all that was yet to come. We are just so sorry for your loss of this good and kind man. The emotional, physical and spiritual pain you feel now is very real, and possibly will be very difficult to deal with for some time to come. Give yourselves "permission" to grieve, to cry if you need to, and to feel everything that you need to feel about losing Jermaine.

They say that time "heals", and I suppose to some degree that is so; but, the loss of someone we really love is something that we never really "get over" - the enormity and shock of it deminishes with time, but the actual loss and the love we feel for them never goes away. The grieving that we need to do must be done on an individual basis and there is no "specified" time period or duration for this. It's been five years and 6 months since we said goodby to our Jackie and while we don't cry 15 or 20 times a day like we did initially - we do cry at times, and miss her everyday, and there's still an ache in our chest. But, it is also easier to laugh now, and the days look sunnier and feel warmer. It just takes a while, and that means: However long it takes for you, individually.

We hope none of this is out of line, and hope it's taken in the right way. You will all be in our thoughts: please take good care of yourselves, and each other - you know Jermaine wants that!

All the very best to you, now and forever.

Jack & Elaine

LiLi,

I was deepened saddened by your loss. Jermaine made a good impression the first time I met him. I was happy to know a strong, Black family man. He'll truly be missed.

I want to express my sympathy to Jermaine's family. I had the privilege of getting to know Jermaine when he worked for me at American Honda through Kelly Services. I will miss seeing his smiling face. He was always kind and worked hard to provide for his family. I remember one day he came to me asking if I had a safety pin and I asked why, at this point we both looked down at his pants and he had ripped about a 6 inch tear down the leg. We laughed about it and ended up using staples to close it up. I'm glad I have a few memories of him but it's too bad I don't have more. In times like these it's hard to understand God's plan, all we can do is hope that Jermaine is in a better place and cherish the memories that we have of him while he was with us.

I haven't seen Jermaine in a very long time, but I can remember seeing that smile from all the way at the end of the halls in Central High School. He was a tall skinny thing, with a great big heart. I send my prayers to the family of Jermaine and may God be with you at this time of sorrow.
