Jeremy Burgo Obituary

Jeremy D. Burgo, 24, of Brockton, passed away into the arms of our Lord Oct. 23, 2012. He was a private auto sales entrepreneur. From his generous nature he was notorious for sharing and giving. He enjoyed playing poker and scratch tickets but loved his family more than life itself. Jeremy was the beloved son of Laurie Ahlquist and Alfred Burgo; loving husband of Vanessa Bay; and devoted father of Jeremy Junior Burgo; brother of Robert Burgo and Hailee Ahlquist; stepson of Roy Ahlquist; grandson of Diana Figlioli and Joseph Carrabino and Rosie and Frank Burgo; and he leaves many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. All are welcome to calling hours Monday 5-8 p.m in Waitt Funeral Chapel at Waitt Funeral Home, 850 North Main St., Brockton. Cremation and private committal. In lieu of flowers as Jeremy was allergic, donations are preferred for his son Jeremy Junior Burgo made directly to Vanessa Bay. Visit www.waittfuneralhome.com or call 508-583-7272.

Wow when i heard u wer gone i just couldnt believe it. i had to look it up and c for myself,if this was true. sad to say"it was"..I knew u you were fighting the batlle with that dam disease but u seemed as if u had it under control. you will be missed, exspecially the moments when i saw you there was your son and Vanessa..You were a family man.Everything you did was to be that man and do for your family. There were very little times you would see vanessa without jeremy and vice versa..I know you like your new home were you dont have to worry about poverty, lies and pain. Your son may have lost a father but gained a guardian angel...you will be miss...

Dear Laurie, Alfred and the family. My heart aches with you during this time of loss, knw that the Lord will guide you and keep you giving you ALL that you need during this time. This was given to me when I lost Johnnie, it gave me comfort then and 4 yrs later it still does, I pray it does the same for you.

We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name, In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you, the day God called you home, You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; and though we cannot see you, you are always at out side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same; But as God calls us one by one, THE CHAIN will link again.
In Loving Memory
Jeremy Burgo.
Alfred and Laurie knw that I am here for you. Love

Dear Rosie, Frankie and Family. My heart aches for you today. Our grandchildren just celebrated their 18th birthday. (They are triplets.) Losing one of them would be devastating. I can't imagine the pain you feel right now. However, we rejoice with you knowing Jeremy is with his Lord and Savior. We pray that Jesus will wrap you in His everlasting arms and give you the comfort and peace you so desparately need right now.
