Not a day goes by I dont think of my brother in arms watching over me. Knowing that one day we will meet again. Every day and everything that I do in life with Team Rubicon natural disaster response I think of him and put my left foot forward and help people in need. Also to his wife and children and family I know the hurt and burden you hold on your chest and know how much you miss him. It is the reason that I also put the fight for my daughters while I am going through this divorce to protect them and keep my daughters at my side every day. Today I remember Jeremy even more and send my condolences to his family and light this candle for him.

Love,

Mike, Destiny, Madalynn

Pam and Joseph,

Jeremy is missed so much by all who served with him. Not a day goes by that I don't think of all the Fun time we had on the deployment to Kuwait in 2004-2005. Jeremy was always able to put a smile on someone's face. God Bless you all!!

Such a wonderful man who loved life and loved his family. Jeremy was one of the "boys", water balloon fights, building forts and eating sandwiches out under our biggest tree in the backyard. I'll always remember his laughter and wonderful smile. He would stop by the house with his kids - such a great Dad. We will miss him. God Bless you dear one. We love you.

To the Klees family: I am truly sorry for your loss. I met Jeremy while working out at the same gym, and after talking to him the first time I knew he was a very strong, kind, caring, and very loving man. As a fellow veteran, it was always good to talk to him, and while I never had the honor of serving alongside him, I have no doubt in my mind that he was the kind of person you would want next to you in the most critical situations. To say that he was a great man would be an understatement at the very least. He will truly be missed, and I know this must be incredibly hard for you. I can only hope that you find comfort in the fact that he is in a much better place now, and I know that through God he will always be watching over all of you. God bless.

Jeremy was a True Soldier in all sense of the word. While deployed he kept everyons spirits hig with his pranks and jokes. He love his FAMILY so much. We talked endlessly about his daughter and the new boy that was on his way. All of you KIDS meant the WORLD to your Father. You guys were his inspiration and driving force. Jeremy stood up when no one else would volunteer. He lead by exanple. He lived by the NCO creed. I truley can say I was blessed to have been able to serve with him. You will be gravely missed by your family friends, and Country. GODSPEED Good Friend. SALUTE!!!

Miss Pam (and Michaiah) - my heart aches for you and could not imagine the pain that you are experiencing in such a tragic accident. There is only one person that I know who WILL provide you with the love and comfort you and your family will need to get through Jeremy's death. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Family and friends will be there for you to hold and comfort you. Always remember the great loving and caring person that Jeremy was. May you forever reflect on his smile and laughter and joy that he brought to his kids and family. May God's peace be with you at this time. Margie & Torien

Jeremy was a true friend. He would be the one that was always ready and eager to help. He valued his family at the top of his list and spoke of his wife and kids often when I would run into him. I am honored to say that I deployed with him and sorrowed by his absense. To his wife and children remember this. Your husband/father was so proud to have you in his life. Your the ones that kept him driven and gave him the potential to be the best man he could be. You all were were his life and what completed him. I am proud to say that I served honorably with your father. God speed.
