Jeremy Wiggers Obituary
JEREMY CAIN WIGGERS
1971 - 2009
In loving memory of Jeremy Cain Wiggers (a.k.a. Crab & Uncle J) of Pensacola, Florida. Born September 18th, 1971 and traveled home February 28th, 2009. Jeremy held dear his love of family and all things in nature. Jeremy devoted most of his time to the most honorable care of his Mother. His greatest joys were found seeking an up-close and unfiltered view of God's creation in all its magnitude. He openly shared his keen passion for animals and horticulture. A lover of personal independence and freedom, Jeremy sought to live his life without borders or restrictions.
Jeremy is preceded in death by Margaret Louise Francis, Irving Edward Francis, and Richard Irving Francis.
He is survived by Mother Lillian Chestnut, Father John Chestnut, Sisters April Goins and Autumn Moon, Brother Lloyd Moon, Uncles Don Francis, Keith & Susan Francis and Jimmy Francis, Niece Zoë Goins, Nephews Gage Nicholson and Liam Nicholson, lifelong friend and Brother Jason Nicholson, his many Cousins, close Family, and dear Friends.
Please join his family and friends in a celebration to honor his remarkable life Thursday, March 5th, 4:00PM at Hearts of Love Ministry, 6847 West Fairfield Drive. In lieu of flowers the family will accept and forward donations to the Wildlife Sanctuary of Northwest Florida.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

It took a while for us to get up the nerve to be able to sign the guest book. How do you say goodbye to someone you love like a close part of your family. You and the guys "The Brown Ones" were family. We will miss you and always have the fondest memories of you, our "other brother."

To My Dear Friend,
Jeremy when I heard the news I was devastated, how could this happen to such a close friend, a brother, you were family and you knew it. All special ocassions or not quite so special you were welcome, every one that knew you will say that Jeremy, aka Crab, always had a smile on his face, he was a special guy and he loved the simple things that life had to offer. You will be deeply missed by everyone that was fortunate enough to know the Crab. I love you man and we all will miss your presence but memories of you will live on with all of us. Your Friend, Jason, aka, J-Dog

I write this note with tears running down my face and ask WHY!! You would do anything for anyone and NOT ask for anything in return.. Your life was all about taking care of others before yourself. Why did this happen to such and UNSELFISH person.. So now I ask please help Ron get through this from up there, he has lost someone he considers a brother.. My thoughts and prayers are with all your friends and family!!! FOREVER MY LOVE!!!!

It is us who suffers now because we lost such a important part of our lives. I'm very thankful that we were able to spend this past Thanksgiving together at Nana's house. You are in good hands now and with lots of loved ones. Watch over us Crab, and we will all see you again. My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to the family in this critical time. With all my love.... Aunt Beverly.....

Jeremy, I wish I could have told you goodbye, and how much I loved you. I never got the chance to tell you how proud I was of you. All the days while you and Jason were growing up together, were not always the best, but you turned out to be a really good man of whom I was deeply proud of. I will always miss you, and it will never be the same at the birthday parties without you. You were at my home so much I will always think of you as one of my BOYS. I Love and miss you, "MOM NICHOLSON/FIGUREID"

To my Crabeo , Just a couple of days before your accident you rode with me to go check out all our private fishing spots . Knowing you will not be there physically hurts , but i know you will be in spirit . We won't be able to laugh when you cast your rod & your fishing line gets a birds nest . H&O's is going to be loney for me & Jason , but i promise we will always eat a plate for you . You will be loved & missed , but I know you will be looking down on us making sure we do the right things . I love you my friend , my brother

Wow, what does one say after all these years. My pain is so deep that it hurts my bones, but this is not about me. It is about a guy that would stand next to you when he knew you were wrong. Its about a guy that had the biggest heart. It is about a guy that loved and wanted nothing in return.This is about my brother. I was lucky to have known this guy for years. He had a wonderful wisdom about him and i will take that wisdom with me each and everyday. All for one J and may God be with you.

I was so sad to hear you had to leave us when there was so much more life for you ahead. It was a pleasure watching you grow into to the man you are now from the old days of our crazy teenage years. I am glad that I had the opportunity to know you. You will be missed by all.

Bubba Crab,
I never thought in 28 years that I would have to write you this way. I heard the news after the accident and said "yea right get out not my Crab someone would have called me by now," but reality hit home Saturday evening and my world fell around me. I still don't want to except it but I have to. You were always there for me at the deepest points in my life and I thank you! I wish I would have told this when we had our many Brother and Sister talks but I have to live with it and knowing I never got to say good bye. Now your above watching over the kids and I so give My Mom a kiss for me. I can say that when God is ready to take us from this earth I'll be ready to be with you and Mom again. Hey, I'll never forget the P B & J's in the bushes;) and Lifair will never be the same without you. I got a crab Tattoo on my foot so your with me for life, when I'm mad, sad and happy your Memory is just a glance down. I can't leave out our manicure sessions on your nails, your beautiful long hair and our many conversations we spoke at Ron's. Your memories I'll cherish for life. Never thought our good ole' mixed drink Christmas would be our last but it was the best.
I'll see you in my dreams,
Your Lil Sister Leila, Hannah and Jacob.

To write this note is surreal…
To acknowledge your extraordinarily brave passing I must also acknowledge the void that remains. A void so painfully sensitive and perpetually unfulfilled that it saddens me to convey its existence.
For you are more than my friend, you are my Brother, in a very real way. Together we shed all pretenses to simply live in each other’s presence and experience the richness of life thereby yielded. Our lives are comprised of countless shared experiences. Each far too rich to surrender to tragedy and time, yet too agonizing to recreate for an audience.
In the present, I regret that the volumes detailing our journey together have come to a conclusion. The final chapter penned. I will go forward now with you in my heart. I will honor you.
Please watch over me and mine. I miss you deeply.
Your loving Brother, Jason.

We are all deeply saddened with Jeremy’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with Jeremy’s family and friends.
I'm honored to be one of the privileged few to have shared many of eventful days and nights during our childhood years. He was known for his nickname “Crab” from back in the day. WOW, so many memories! I have been meaning to ask you all these years.
“How did you get that nickname?”
I’ll have to remember to ask when we meet again. My most wonderful memory is that we all had an unspoken motto of “All For One and One For one”. No matter how difficult or how complex the situation, I would always look to my left and there you stood ready. For that my brother I will always be thankful. We were more than friends! We are brothers! No matter the distance, marriages and the simple thing as just growing up, I feel deep within my heart that the unspoken childhood motto still stands strong within all of us.
I could write forever, but my brother, words cannot express how much we will miss you! Just know that you will live forever within our hearts!

Darling ,you will always be dear and special to me and you will always be a part of my family. I watched you grow up from a young boy to a great man. You were just like my grandson and I will miss you and miss you coming to see me on the holidays and every other time you got a chance. You and Justin were like brothers and I know how much he loved you. You will always be his best friend. It was always you, Justin and Ron stopping by to see me and make sure I was ok. I will always cherish that. I'm sure you have made your mother and family proud. You have definitely made me proud to say that I to was your Nana. I love you very much and always will. Love, Nana

Crab, you are so dear to me and my family. I still can't believe this has happened. We will truly miss you. You have always been such a big part of my family or as we always said WE ARE FAMILY and always joked how you have know us so long you use to change our diapers. You always made a effort to show up to either Nana's house or our house on the holidays. That was every year for over 20 years!!! We got to spend Thanksgiving together this past year and I speak for my whole family " we will cherish the last dinner we had with you "!!! We love you so much and you will always be in our hearts!!!! Love, the Dorough and Enfinger family!!!!!

My heart hurts when I think of you not here with me now, but I know that today you can walk, fish and laugh with no restrictions and that makes me smile. I hope all of the desisions I have made with you, and for you in and out of the hospital were the right ones. I know you would have done the same for me. I am so glad you were able to tell me that you loved me when we said goodbye on Saturday. Our life together was difficult at times but it was ours and it made for great storys and jokes through out the years.
Thank you for protecting me through everything we have been through, Untill we are back together again, I love you.
