Jeremy S. Bohannon Obituary

Hello,

We apologize for being so late in expressing our deepest condolences to you and your family. We want you to know that we will be sending Care Packages to deployed troops this holiday season and several of these will be dedicated to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo, service branch, rank and hometown of Jeremy S. Bohannon US Army Private 1st Class.

We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community, their families, friends and others who support our mission.

We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.

Sincerely,

To the family and friends of Pvt. Jeremy S. Bohannon:
Always remembering Jeremy. "Some gave all."

I know I didn't know Jeremy for that long, but I always considered him my little brother.

Still remembered and respected. Our family will be perpetually grateful for the military service of this young soldier.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner. It was and always will be our favorite time of the year. I'm thinking about you and all the wonderful Thanksgivings we shared in the past. I love you my son forever.

To the family and friends of Pvt. Jeremy S. Bohannon:
Please accept my remembrance of Jeremy on the anniversary of his passing and know that he will never be forgotten.

Happy Birthday Jeremy, Your Dad and I miss you so very much. Put flowers on you grave today. It seemed to be such a small thing to do for you, but I know that you are better off where you are and doing what God wants you to do. Someday soon your Dad and I will join you and what a day that will be. Love you, Mom

Jeremy and I were in the same Plt in basic. He was a great kid, and won't be forgotten.

Prayer for Peace

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Amen

My name is Garrett Brady. This year I am in the ninth grade. As a part of Junior ROTC, I am Honored to represent Jeremy Bohannon in uniform. I am very proud of him. He made the ultimate sacrifice for my freedom and the freedom of others. Once again, I am Honored to represent Pvt. Bohannon in uniform.

To the Bohannon family:
May the comfort from family and friends continue to strengthen you, and may you find comfort in the words found in the Holy Scriptures: "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."

To the family and friends of Pvt. Jeremy S. Bohannon:
Remembering Jeremy on the anniversary of his passing. May our fallen heroes never be forgotten!

I just wanted the world to know, Justin couldn't have passed away with anyone better or closer to him than Jeremy. The 2 of them fought about who's responsibility it was to bring the other home safe and they loved each other like brothers. Jeremy was a shining star in our little family and I knew that Justin reguarded him as a baby brother. He had a smile that just made you smile in return, he had a bright and shining personality, and one of the sweetest men and I knew why the 2 were friends instantaneously. Jeremy was an amazing man and amazing soldier. He'll always be an integral part of our family and I'm so thankful for him, and for the rest of the Bohannon family.

Jeremy was a bright young Soldier, and is truly missed. I had the pleasure of teaching him medical skills alongside his fellow MPs, and he was a quick study. I have good memories of Jeremy, and I have the memories of his last day. I was his Medic, and I had both the honor and the pain of sending him home that day. Blessings on his family, and know that I keep you and him in my thoughts and prayers.

Mr. and Mrs. Bohannon,

Although the loss of your son is difficult, your son did not perish in vain. It is moments like this that I am able to teach my young sons the cost of freedom and what this great country stands for. Your sons' service and ultimate sacrafice will not be forgotten.

The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”


I did not know Jeremy, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

You are remembered and respected. Thank you Pvt Bohannon!

I did not sign the book at the time of Jeremy's death as I sent you a card I made but I was over in San Francisco yesterday with some out of state friends & we took them to the Marine's Memorial Club while we were there. There is one floor where they have a wall with the names of our fallen & I looked for Jeremy's tile. I thought you would appreciate seeing a photo of it. We will never forget Jeremy or your family for the sacrifice you made for us & our country. God Bless you all.

Sincerely,

To the family and friends of Pvt. Jeremy S. Bohannon, our thoughts and prayers are with you in your loss. What he has done for our freedom will not be forgotten. May God bless and comfort your family.

I am a member of the Patriot Guard Riders check out the Web www.patriotguard.org at the family's request we honor our Veterans. I do not know Jeremy but I want to thank him for his sacrifice for our freedom. And to let his family know they are all in my prayers. God bless ya'll.

It's been almost a year now since Bo was taken from us but he is still remebered to this day. Jeremy was my friend, battle buddy, partner, and brother in arms. We became friends at Carson and became inseperatable when we got to Iraq. I miss him. He was ne of the greatest friends I ever had and am a greater person for knowing him. Coming home to Carson won't be the same without him. My deepest wishes go to his family. Your son touched the lives of many and is remembered everyday here in the 59th mp co. Bo your my brother and I will see you again. Remeber our motto "Tenes la porte"..."Hold the gate" so that you may one day open them to greet me when I see you again.

I want to let Jeremy's parents... Sir, Ma'am.... Jeremy will never be forgotten. He was a GREAT person, and an even better friend. He was always positive and enthusiastic about every situation. He was a great listener, and a pretty good story-teller as well. He is one of those people who have really made an impression on my life, his face will always be vivid in my mind. He was also an amazing soldier, a great addition to the 59th MP Co... He was loved by all of us. I believe he is watching over us now.... he has to be... And we continue to carry him in our hearts every day- in all we do. Thanks "Bo"- We miss you...

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Dear Bohannon family,
I am sorry to learn of Jeremy's death, but I wish to express to you my gratitude for his efforts in the Army. He began serving America and sacrificing for each one of us long before he was called upon to make the ultimate sacrifice. He is worthy of our honor and continued appreciation.
Thank you for sharing him with us, even in his tender years.
A grateful & weeping Floridian,

I had only gotten to know Jeremy shortly before his death but his words and smile have touched my heart forever. He was a true friend and if he was a friend of yours, you are truly blessed. He was a kind spirit and his smile was so warm. It has touched my heart forever and he will be remembered as a brave and true friend. I send my deepest wishes of sympathy to his parents and know that no words can express my condolences to you and your family. He was an exceptional young man and he will be loved and missed always. THANK YOU JEREMY...YOU WILL BE REMEMBERED IN MY HEART

When I was discharged due to pregnancy He was the first to wish me well.I just found out today what happened and I would like to tell his friends and family how truly and deeply sorry I am for your lost. Jeremy was a great soldier and a very good friend He will be missed.

To the parents of Jeremy, I would like to extend my heart felt sorrow as I know what you are going through and what you will yet go through in the coming weeks. I too am the mother of another fallen soldier and with God's continued support in my life I try to reach out to other who might need the support of someone who has been where you are. I want to offer you the support you may need to contact me anytime so that you may vent, talk or just seek comfort I am here for you. As a Gold Star Mother I've reached out through God's blessings to many across the country and we have a good support group. May God continue to give you and your family the love, comfort and healing that you need. In memory of my son SPC Harry (Buck) Winkler III KIA Samarra, Iraq November 12, 2006

Thank you for the sacrifice made by Pvt Bohannon and the sacrifice made by everyone who loves and misses him! May God bless all of you!!

I met Jeremy at church in Waverly, TN and had knew his brother Clifton and sister Jessica alot better than I knew him being that I only got to speak to him once or twice and the other two nuerous accounts but i saw that he had a spark in his eyes to be what he did best....Himself. You are loved and missed.

My deepest and heartfelt sympathies go to your family. Although I never knew Jeremy, my little sister, Jennifer, did. She went through her training with him, and told me there was never a day that she didn't see him smiling. To me, no matter if I knew him or not, when a special person comes into your life, with their presence or their word, the touch your heart and soul. I can't imagine the pain you are going through, but my thoughts and prayers are with you daily. May Jeremy live in all of our hearts and minds forever. He was such a brave young man, and he will be remembered.

My daughter PFC Muir, Jennifer trained with Jeremy. She said he was always smiling and gave his very best. She is currently serving in IRAQ and I pray for this wonderful family and please know that in my heart there will always be a place for all of these soldiers...Brothers and Sisters in Arms...My prayers to the family and his friends. Shari

My sincerest condolences to jeremy's family and friends. Jeremy died with my nephew, Justin Blackwell and you are all family to me now.

My heart was touched by the many wonderful/beautiful things written about you. Jeremy you are my hero and you will NEVER be forgotten.
I send each of you a hug from the most inner part of my heart.
Love and Peace
Tom

Jeremy was one of the best kids I've had the pleasure of knowing and I've known quite a few. He was upstanding and honest, a Christian to the core. He once told me he wanted to be a missionary in China. I see he took a different path, a noble path, he served his country. He was loved and will be greatly missed by many.

My words cannot express enough sympathy that I feel for Jeremy. It is honor to have been part of his tribute today, and will live with me the rest of my life. Jeremy is a true Hero and will be missed. I am so glad to be an American, and a brother in arms for those that have given the greatest sacrifice.

To the Family and friends of Jeremy please accept my deepest condolences.

In his Honor


Tennessee Army National Guard

I had the proud pleasure of going through basic training and AIT with jeremey i learned so much from him and he showed me that no matter the age you could accomplish anything you wanted. he was a happy go lucky guy that i admired for his strength and attitude towards helping others. i will dearly miss him and want to wish his family the best of lucky in there hard times. C795 for ever Bohannon.

We were blessed to have had Jeremy in our lives. He brought alot of laughter and love into our home. My children adored him. He would take them bike riding to the store, to the creek to go swimming, walking, hiking etc..
Jeremy was a very dedicated person...he set his sight on a goal and followed through until he accomplished it.He loved life and never took a day for granted. He was very thoughtful, loving, caring, respectful, flirty, and pure, to mention a few. We love and miss him very much and will never forget him. Thanks for everything Jeremy (Jermhead!). You were a true hero not only for serving our country but for how you lived your everyday life.

Our family is sending you our love and prayers, with deepest respect and gratitude for your son's immense sacrifice and service. May God bless your family and bring you peace.

In loving memory of Sgt. Dustin Wakeman, kia 8/4/07, Iraq.

To the Family and Friends of this Soldier:
I will stand in grief with this soldier's family to honor him. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life, but I promised Brent that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
We lost our son SFC Brent A. Adams on 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday. I wish so badly there were things I could say to you right now to make the pain you are feeling go away, but I know first hand there simply are no words that will bring you the comfort and peace your heart aches for. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you go through this tragedy moment by moment and as you mourn this loss.
We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with as our hearts both burst with pride and pain together.
I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally. While they can never be replaced, neither will they ever be forgotten. You must trust that sometime, someday the loving memories you have will help to sustain you and help you go on. This courageous soldier will forever be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well.
To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is your wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever.
If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero.
God Bless this soldier and family who gave all and God Bless legacy.com for setting up this site where families can so quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves.

What can I say or do to take away the pain, nothing, so I will not pretend that I know what to say or do that would bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.

Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.

I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON (KIA on 07/06/07) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.

REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!
