Now All We Have Is Memories, And Your Picture In A Frame. Your Memory Is Our Keepsake, With Which We'll Never Part. God Has You In His Keeping, We Have You In Our Hearts. RIP JEREMY HECHT! WE LOVE YOU!

Jeremy you will be so missed by so many! You have left an imprint on so many peoples hearts and lives. Not a day goes by that I dont think about you and how you were taking from us all way to early. I promised you then and ill promise you again I will always take care of Heidi and make sure she is ok. I will keep your memory alive by remembering the good times. There are so many things that people could say to try to ease everyones pain but there is nothing that can make our hearts whole again. You left behind a legacy and beautiful children to hold it true. You have the best kids in the world and they love you just as much as you loved them. Nothing will be the same without you here. Thank you for all the good times and thank you for being a friend & adoptive brother to me. Love and miss you! ~ Michelle

I first want to thank everyone for your flowers, plants, money & cards, there has been so many!!! Thank you all!!!! As I sit and think about all the good times and what everyone has said... I think about the memories I have had!!! I remember Jeremy, so young and smiling, running down the beach flying a kite with his sister Heidi and fishing off the sea wall. Boy how he liked to fish, riding bikes and playing video games. I can’t forget riding dirt bikes. I can remember Jeremy and Neil trying so hard to catch me on them bikes, we had so much fun. I remember Jeremy coming to work with me and learning how to drive a fork lift. How life goes so fast, as we all grew up so quick and life passes us by. I also remember the times with Jeanie as she was such a special part of our lives, I think of her often and wonder why life is so short. I don’t think I will ever understand why things happen but I will always remember the good times and the bright faces. Thank you for all the great memories, you grew up so quick. I became a grandfather so young; you gave me the most beautiful grandchildren for that I’m thankful. I’m so proud!!! I will always remember you!!!! I think of you all the time and always will be my buddy my friend my son. I want to wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Happy Birthday.

Love you always,
Pops

As we gather thoughts of Jeremy it breaks our hearts that he has left us all to soon. We are so thankful for the time we just spent in New York with everyone; it brings to light how precious time spent together is.

In our memories Jeremy will always have an infectious smile and a mischievous laugh. We thank you Jeremy for entrusting us with such great memories til we can share them again.
Hugs

We are so very deeply saddened by the reality that Jeremy is no longer with us. We loved him deeply, and his presence will be sorely missed. We also consider ourselves fortunate that we were able to spend time with him at Micah's wedding this past summer, and we will cherish the memory of that time.

As we all move on with our lives, Jodi and I will hold dear what is our very best memory of Jeremy: the image of a beautiful blonde haired young boy playing with his sister Heidi, and running up and down the beach at Indian Rocks back in December of 1990.

With all of our love,
The Dussault's

Those we Love remain with us,
for Love itself lives on.
Cherished memories never fade,
because one loved is gone.
Those we Love can never be,
more than a thought apart,
for as long as there’s a memory,
they live on in our heart...

You were an amazing father & wonderful husband, brother, son & friend. I will never forget all the times we would sit around and talk while Brandon & Mekayla played. You were always there for me when I needed a shoulder to cry on, someone to talk to, someone to make me laugh and more importantly you showed me that there are genuine people out there and you my dear friend were exactly that.

You are greatly missed by so many and although we are mourning we all are so fortunate to have had you in our lives.

Love You
XOXOXOXO

We had just met Jeremy and Shane this summer and were so impressed with the love they had for each other - always hugging and holding hands. I am so glad that we decided to take that late night trip to the casino because we laughed the entire way. Jeremy was super nice and we are glad we got to meet him. Our hearts go out to his family.
