Jeremy was such a wonderful person! He was one of my best friend's in high school and I feel very fortunate to be able to say that. We enjoyed laughing and doing things boys would do. He was always generous and would give you the shirt right off of his back if you needed it. He lived life without worries and made the most out of each moment. Such a kind heart and fun, loving friend! He will be missed....
My prayers go out to family and friends.
Continue on and cherish the memories he has instilled in all of us.

I have heard countless amazing stories about Jeremy as a father from Amber. He was clearly an extraordinary dad and role model for Jayden. My heart aches for the entire family, but I know that they will keep alive all of the traditions and the memories of Jeremy for Jayden. He will always know how very much his Dad loved him, and the memories he has will be treasured in his heart forever. Jeremy will be able to look down from Heaven and find peace within by seeing that his son is extremely well taken care of by his extremely strong and close-knit family. I love you so much, Amber and Family.

This is so very shocking and tragic. I worked with Jeremy at Kinko's and occassionally saw him running or while dropping things off at Ditto's, He was such a nice guy! My deepest heartfelt sympathy and condolences to his family, especially his adorable son.

Although we didn't know Jeremy personally except to wave, we've lived next door to the Wiley family for several years and know and love them all as wonderful neighbors. We know how proud Tom and Romelia have been of him and his young family. Our hearts go out to all of Jeremy's family and friends in this tragic time.

Jeremy and I had two classes together at Brandman. We became instant school friends and sat together every week, and we recently started referring to each other as “Brandman Besties.” His wit and sarcasm made class more enjoyable. Recently I saw his softer side as he went into “dad mode” scrolling through his phone showing me picture, after picture, after picture, and a video of Jayden. He was going to make a great science teacher. I’m going to miss him a lot.

Our heart felt prayers go out to your family during this time of loss. Jeremy was a great young man and father to his son Jayden. I can remember seeing Jeremy and Jayden out at events together and having such a great time. Those times will be cherished by Jayden always.

?Jeremy Wiley was full of life, always crack'n a joke. He was the kind of person who would always be there for you. He was a great friend, and a go getter! He loved his family, and cherished his friends. Jeremy will be deeply missed. He was loved by many. It's such a shame, such a great soul has been taken away from us. He will live in our hearts forever!
