Another year has passed. It's been 12 years now. How is it possible, when it still seems like yesterday, Jeremy was down stairs in my basement, playing music with Greg and George. I remember at different times, I would call friend's and say, listen! Listen to him play! Isn't he amazing! It wasn't just his amazing skill with his guitar or his passion for it, It was his amazing smile, kindness and warm heart, his love that he brought to our family. I miss him so much! My love always!

Jeremy's 23rd Birthday
August 5, 2015
I wish you could get this message, today, "Happy Birthday, Jeremy!"
You would be 26 years old. I miss you terribly and the years have gone by so fast....but the love for you will never die.
I listen to your U-tube music sometimes and am so glad we still have that. You were SO special.
Forever in my heart, Love, Grandma Morrow

Jeremy I miss you so much.....I was thinking about the time you asked me to teach you to dance (slow dancing). I had so much fun dancing with you in the basement....you were a quick learner. I never gave up trying to get you to eat vegetables (unsuccessful) but when you were at Marta's you ate them all & loved them! My heart aches on this 2nd anniversary of losing you and you will always be 23 years old. You are with us every day....we love you always & ever. Grandma Morrow 2/1/2014

Jeremy. You were the brother I always wanted. You were my first best friend and you made growing up a whole lot easier. Im sad to say I can't remember the last thing we said to each other, other than bye, and I'm sorry if there were any misunderstandings between us. Anytime I play old video games I remember how much fun I had as a kid growing up with you. And even as we were older and did grown up things. I hope you had the time of your life.

I went into Chicago Music Exchange today and as soon as I saw it, I knew I had to have it. Please welcome to the family: Jeremy, my new Fender American Deluxe V Neck Strat. The same model that the late, great Jeremy Fink played in American Theater Company's The Original Grease, the same summer we became friends. I may never be as talented as Jeremy was, but I am pretty excited to honor his memory with a guitar that will only get better with age. This one's for you, J. Wherever you are. I will play it with you in my mind and heart, always. And I will keep him for as long as I live. He's named after you, brother... If you're up there, I hope you approve...

I miss him so much! He is on my mind all the time. I am so thankful that I had such a wonderful, loving and caring talented nephew in my life. Its so hard to believe that he is really gone. It just doesn't seem real that the lord took him so soon. Every memory that I have of him is good, thats because he was such a good human being. I hope that there will be a day when I can really look at his pictures amd not cry. I Love and miss him!

Thinking about this time 4 years ago. I was starting rehearsals for a very quality production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch at ATC. The "talent" was top notch and the band was too good to have only done that run. I've been lucky to play some great gigs with great people and this is right there near the top. RIP Jeremy. We miss you buddy. To the rest of you, I say "Bruch!" — with Nick Garrison and 3 others.

I love how tonight we finally got a wonderful, white snow that we've been waiting for all winter here in Chicago. It reminds me of going to sleep under a soft, white blanket. And how appropriate just one year after you had to leave us. Sleep peacefully, Jeremy. With love. :)

American Theater Company mourns the loss of Jeremy Fink, an extraordinarily talented musician, who passed away suddenly in a car accident this past week. Jeremy played lead guitar in ATC's productions of HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH, YEAST NATION, THE ORIGINAL GREASE, and had intended to play our upcoming production of RENT. A recent graduate of Roosevelt University, Jeremy was an extremely gifted artist who was religiously dedicated to his craft. Jeremy was quiet and humble but so passionate about music. He played effortlessly 3 very challenging scores. I'll remember how excited he was to be all costumed up for HEDWIG. I'll never forget him walking out of our dressing room, all punked up. In the last 3 musicals he performed with ATC, I don't ever remember him missing a performance (and GREASE ran 5 months). Our music directors praised his talent at such a young age. He will be greatly missed. Our hearts and prayers go out to his family. Please keep him and them in your thoughts. Jeremy was 23. - PJ

Jeremy, I miss you so much and will always love you. It has been one year since you died & Grandpa Morrow died just 3 days before. you were so sad & then you died before the wake for him. I pray that you are with him in heaven & I will see you both again. I look at your pictures every day & remember all the times we spent together. You had big plans & were an awesome guitarist and the sweetest guy just "good as gold" - I guess too good for this world. I made your last birthday dinner & cake which we brought to your
Chicago apartment & took your last birthday pictures. You were here at our house for Christmas with all the kids & we will cherish the memories & pictures & video. "See you later, Alligator!" XOXOXOXOXO

I had the pleasure of performing in a number of theater shows with Jeremy. It was an honor to play with him, his musicality was top notch. He played the guitar so well, and made it look effortless. Also, he was one of the most humble and down to earth people I ever met. He loved heavy and dark music and he had an infectious smile. The Chicago theater community is at a huge loss.

"My girlfriend was a cast member in Hewig at ATC, and I had the pleasure of meeting Jeremy and speaking with him several times. His innate goodness made an immediate impression. Even more impressive was the genitlity and humility he possessed while harboring jaw-dropping talent. I am truly, deeply saddened to hear of his passing. My thoughts and and prayers go out to you, his family and friends."

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
