In Loving Memory of Jerimiah “JJ” Tilford

Jerimiah “JJ” Tilford was born on May 8, 2006, in Boise, Idaho, and was residing in Caldwell, Idaho, at the time of his unexpected passing on September 4, 2025.

JJ is survived by his loving mother, Tessa Tilford, and Melinda Jackson; his grandparents, Cindy Tilford and Derald Glass; his brothers, Jaden and Jordan Tilford; and his sisters, Aleah and Kylie Tilford. He also leaves behind several nieces, nephews, cousins, uncles, and an aunt who all loved him deeply.

Known affectionately as "JJ" by those close to him, Jerimiah was a kind, caring, and generous soul. He had a heart for helping others and was always there when someone needed him. Whether it was family or friends, JJ made a lasting impact on everyone he met.

His presence brought joy, laughter, and comfort. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
