Jeremy Scott Young

Jeremy Scott Young, a man who mastered the art of laughter and the game controller, embarked on his final adventure on June 22, 2025. Born on February 21, 1983, in the bustling town of Springfield, MO, Jeremy's journey began with a high score in charm and wit, setting the stage for a life filled with joy and humor.
In the game of life, Christy Young, his beloved wife and player two, stood by his side, navigating the levels and challenges with love and laughter. Jeremy's heart and humor were nurtured by his mother, Sharon "Kathy" Hicks, who survives him with memories of his bright spirit. While his step-dad, Willis "Sonny" Hicks, may have preceded him in the grand departure, the duo's epic Wii Sports battles and shared love for virtual strikes and hole in ones will be the stuff of family legend.
Jeremy's furry companions, Ashleigh and Adolph, were more than pets; they were his loyal sidekicks, always ready to lend a paw, a comforting snuggle or share his food.
Fishing, a pastime as tranquil as it was thrilling, allowed Jeremy and Willis to bond and reel in moments of peaceful reflection. These serene times by the water's edge were often punctuated by their laughter and fussing at each other, as they shared tales that were just as likely to be about the one that got away as the catch of the day.
Jeremy's legacy is not just in the laughter he spread but in the kindness he showed, the lives he touched, and the love he gave freely. While the credits may have rolled on his earthly presence, the reruns of his life's most endearing moments will play on in the hearts of those who knew him.
As we bid farewell to Jeremy Scott Young, let's remember that in the great arcade of existence, he didn't just play the game-he brought it to life. And for that, we are all endlessly grateful. Game over? No, Jeremy would say it's just a new high score.
