15 years is a long time to live without my vibrant boy in the world. We try not to torture ourselves (too often) with thoughts of how different life would be if he were here, but we know it would be filled with more happiness, love, chaos, fun...and bacon!
Jeremy Michael Kelley, we will love you and miss you forever.

Too many birthdays without Jeremy. I´ll be thinking all of the happy memories as we celebrate #38 without his infectious smile and charisma. My thoughts are with you, Kelleys, like always.

Hmmmmm Well its that time of year again. A day that has been burned into our brain and hearts forever more. And just as burns do ; and after that throbbing pain and grieved numbness shock of denial have worn and faded but never healed but has none the less left us scarred and slowly with time the acceptance becomes sadly undeniable, the innevitable eventually always catches up but wishful thinking has always begotten my better judgement that hope keeps doubt in my heart that I will one day in space and time be u again my friend.
I miss you
We love you Jeremy.
We love you Brendan bro
We love you Lisa we love you too of course Chris. We of all people know how important Dads are!!!!!! Especially my children who no longer have their dad so we know dads r very special indeed.
Jeremy always said he had the best parents in the world(thats cause he never met me as a mom or my husband as a dad)(i.m just joking u guys are still the best) and i learn how truth those words are with all you have done for my family and I thank u Kelly's u r also considered my family.
Kelly family I dnt know if u realize but my family and yours are what they call kismet we share the day June 16th as the worse day that ever happened and we can never forget no matter how much we wish it never were. Love Robynn, Rikki,&Ruby.

Aww jeremy i.ve been thinking about you often and been too heartbroken to even get out of bed except for taking the kids to school. My husband died and i know you were not a religious person but i still like to think that maybe u guys are up in some sort of alternate paradise better than any hear on earth. You were the first close person i had ever lost in my life and i considered us pretty darn close friends its a shame you never got to meet my son ricky he is stubborn like you and a charmer like you lol you would have liked him . but now i know a lil of how your mother must feel every day because for most life moves forward but for me right now i just am missing my husband more every day. I love u germ . i.m sorry but happy belated birthday!love robynn

My baby would be 35 today. Such a milestone; I'm having trouble wrapping my head around that. As Robert Munsch aptly wrote, I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living my baby you'll be. I have no doubt that if Jeremy was still here, he'd be by our sides for Beth's surgery today. He never missed a chance to be with family...or a reason for a road trip.
June 16, 2018
Your absence has left a hole in the lives of all who love you. Its hard to believe that nine years have gone by without your exuberant presence. Love you forever. Mom,Dad, & Bren

Missing my beautiful boy on his birthday and always. On both of my boy's birthdays, I can't help but think of the book, "Love You Forever", that my mom gave me when Jeremy was a baby.

Crying at work... again... A "Coldplay" song came on, which always takes my breath away and makes me think of your service. How is it possible that the 2-year mark is coming up in a few months? It is still surreal, all of this. I keep waiting for things to get back to normal... and can't even begin to grasp that they never will...
Aunt Beth
October 27, 2010
Listening to "Beck" and thinking of you dancing, shirtless, in your parents' kitchen. I didn't know then, how good and happy those days were...
There are no words to describe how much we all miss you and how many lives will never be the same without you in them. Your little cousins talk about you often - just last night, out of the blue, Keagan asked "where's Jeremy...upstairs at Lisa and HaHa's? Now how do you respond to that, without bawling, to a 3 year old? This sucks...
Aunt Beth

We all cherish time spent with Jeremy for different reasons. But we can all agree that he is truly unforgettable for all of those reasons.
If you couldn't attend the service or just want to revisit a few of the memories, here is the eulogy:
Jeremy Kelley
Some may have known him through multiple avenues…
How many knew him in GATE?
Who’s seen him land a smooth varial flip on his skateboard?
Who has sat with him while he worked on a computer?
How many of you saw him with the infamous bowl haircut minus the bangs?
Who has watched him vacuum his car for the 3rd time in one day?
Who has been there while he single handily kept fast food restaurants selling cookies?
Who has been there while he fights overdraft charges over the phone?
Who’s been there with him for a TV marathon of Flavor of Love?
Who’s gone on a spontaneous journey outside the 209 with Jeremy driving?
…So Who’s gotten a ticket with Jeremy?
Who’s celebrated the holidays at Jeremy’s parents?
Small World – Bridged cultures and transcended across norms—a man of passions!
* On a daily basis, this pierced, future tattoo sleeve-owner would be working with the world’s top linux computer researchers from the Phillipines, India and MIT.
* Nightly, this self proclaimed geek could be found dancing at some of Sacramento’s most fabulous clubs.
* Employers flocked to hire him because of his unique talents, edgy lifestyle and sincere excitement towards a topic that puts most of us to sleep.
* Jeremy loved to talk. He could hold a conversation with anyone about anything for any length of time. This came is useful with his friends’ parents. He could make a sincere argument for any adventure or potential disaster…and they would eventually see it his way.
* Just by being around him, I was exposed to so many various social circles where he was not just accepted—but he was embraced.
* To be honest, the only people that might have had an aversion to Jeremy were cops, (but even my dad, a former sheriff, was fond of him).
Push the Limits – not sure if anyone here noticed that Jeremy tended to live life on the edge.
* He got the most out of every minute, every day. He was never constrained by normal hours, days of the week. When he wanted something he went after it.
o For instance, one weekend, Jeremy, Keegan, and I decided that we wanted to go snowboarding the following day. To get an early start, Jeremy talked us in to driving up that night. Upon arrival at the cabin, there was no water, no electricity. It was a brisk 12 degrees inside the house. This probably wasn’t the last time Jeremy spooned with two guys in a fullsize bed; needless to say, we were the first ones on the mountain taking in a full day of boarding.
* Time wasn’t the only thing that Jeremy didn’t let control his life. He also had a keen understanding of how far a dollar went…Chris and Lisa know more than any of us.
o Jeremy did not live to work, but he did work to fund a purchase that he thought would enhance his life. If he needed $749 for a new set of rims, he would find a job to make $750.
We look at Jeremy and wonder how his book of life seems to have so many chapters at such a young age. But when you have so much passion and drive towards your interests, every experience is that much more pronounced. By having such a strong support base from his family, he had the confidence to truly engage in life and take each leap. By taking those risks, he didn’t live at baseline—he spent life experiencing a full range of emotions, instead of “waiting until tomorrow” like many of us—he just went for it. Sometimes I wonder if he created his own adversity just to really see what he was made of. In the last few years of his life, you get the impression he knew that he could overcome almost anything with the support of his parents…well and his lawyer.
Softie – When you see Jeremy for the first time, you might ask yourself, “is this guy for real?”
What you see: A unique combination of ridiculous piercings, perfectly manicured hair, sweaty armpit stains and an uninhibited “bad boy” attitude.
What you may not see: A guy that attended almost all family functions and events, was most fulfilled while in a monogamous relationship, fostered an intimate bond with his grandmother, was a positive influence for his brother (most of the time) and always ended a phone call with his parents by saying “I love you.”
I feel very fortunate that he took the plunge and moved to Sacramento to create a new opportunity for himself. Little did I know how much baggage he would bring to our apartment…in the form of cats. Spot would curl up on Jeremy’s head every night to sleep and try as he might, he could not hide his affection for those animals. He loved them so much that he couldn’t help but let them reproduce over and over and over… But the point is, just like us, he yearned to be loved, to be needed and to share a connection. I’d be lying if I said we never spent a night doing push ups in our boxers while watching a rom com…don’t ask.
I know his family saw it especially in the last few years as Jeremy truly found himself. All the edges softened, the walls came down and he was a man that knew what he wanted and made sure that those who stuck through the adversity were also there to revel in his success. He welcomed positive influences into his life, including Lindsay, because he couldn’t enjoy his accomplishments without sharing them.
It gives me a great sense of pride and hope that Jeremy was able to discover for himself what so many of us saw in him throughout the years.
Thank you to all his friends and family that came here today to celebrate Jeremy. Although it was a life that ended prematurely, just by looking around, we know it was one worth living.
In life, each of us hopes to have passions, to find a purpose, to leave a legacy. By being here today, you represent the lucky people that helped frame Jeremy’s lifetime experience. Looking forward, how are you going to emulate bits and pieces of his life and character to make your journey more fulfilling?
Chris & Katelyn Mitchell

(Written on notes, tied to balloons and sent to heaven during Jeremy's birthday week-end)
I love you and miss you so much cuz. Life will never be the same without you. But we all know you are in a better and happier place. Happy Birthday man, party it up, and show heaven what you're all about. Love you Jeremy.
Love Chris.
To My Cousin Jeremy Kelley….
Hey Cousin! I miss you so much! Everyday I think about you! So much has happened since you haven’t been here but we’re all trying to keep a smile on our faces when deep down we wanna cry. But we’re trying! Gosh it sucks that you aren’t here anymore. Things won’t be the same anymore. So today’s your birthday and we’re all getting together to celebrate it. I wish your parents and Brendan were here to celebrate it also. Just do me a favor and watch over them. I know they are having a tough time taking this all in. And also grandma. She’s having a tough time also with her cancer and the bad news she received last week-end, and especially you. Everything in life is worth it and we’re happy you made something of yourself before you had to go, even though it wasn’t your time. But you know… you’re probably having a great time in heaven. Make something of yourself just like you did here on earth. I love you cousin. We all miss you very much. I love you!
Love Always,
Katelyn
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Vamps Never Say Die
David Schreck, Friday, June 19, 2009 12:48 AM
You can't replace a Jeremy M. Kelley.
He was at the core of my team. He was the resilience, the drive, that every team mate shared with him. There wasn't anything that could keep him down. From the midnight server work, to the 2 am panics, and into the all nighters. Nothing could keep him down. We shared a common drive, a drive for perfection.
Jeremy lived at a thousand miles an hour, and he put that drive into everything he did. None could ask for a better man to have on a team, or a better friend.
Nothing will ever replace a Jeremy Kelley.
Jeremy found his fit, here at Zynga, and no one could disagree. I know I needed no more proof than when I'd see him at 11 am; sipping his Redbull with that big smile on his face. All ready for work, after a night of meltdowns.
Nothing will replace Jeremy - he was a brother, he was family. He was the one that many of us spent the gross amount of our day with. He was the one that we all could rely on, the one that was there, for every step of the way. I will never forget him, I will always want to look down my row at work, and see him glance back up with a smile.
I will miss you Jeremy, but I will never forget you.
You will forever be in my thoughts, and in my prayers.
Your time came too soon.
Jeremy, don't forget us, because we will never forget you.

Dear Family of Jeremy Michael Kelley, Please accept my condolences on the recent death of your beloved Jeremy. I am a bereaved parent, having suddenly lost my daughter, Melinda Rose Silva, @ age 28, on 1/6/05.
In addition to expressing my condolences to you, I write to let you know that I and several other area bereaved parents have recently formed the Modesto/Riverbank Area Chapter of The Compassionate Friends, a non-profit grief support group for parents, grandparents & siblings who have experienced the death of a child of any age due to any cause at any time. We will hold our next meeting on Thursday, July. 9, 7-8:30pm @ the Community CASA, 2201 Morrill Rd. (@ Oakdale Rd.), Riverbank. You are invited to join us on the 9th (or thereafter on the second Thursday of the month, same time, same place). If you would like more information or "just to talk" (I'd like to learn more about Jeremy; he seems like quite a special person), you can contact me, Joanna Rose-Murray, @ 209-484-8276 and/or [email protected]. My prayers are with you during this very difficult time of your deep grief journey.
May you experience some blessings along the way, Joanna

I knew Jeremy since elementary school. However, my favorite memory with him was when we were in Junior high. I went to the park with my mom and my younger siblings, and Jeremy and Brandon were already there. Jeremy and I could have pretended that we were way to cool to be at the park with our families, but instead we sat in the sand with Brandon and made a dolphin out of the sand. For some reason that memory sticks out in my mind. Rest in peace and my thoughts and prayers to his family.
