Jeremy Ouellette Obituary

JEREMY RYAN OUELLETTE Jeremy Ouellette was born February 15, 1977 in Eureka, California to Edwin Ouellette and Judy Butler. Jeremy passed away April 18, 2016. He graduated from McKinleyville High School in 1995. Jeremy was an amazing son who loved his family and friends so much. Everybody who knew Jeremy knew he loved to spend summers at Trinity Lake; fishing at the pond for trout, at the lake for bass, spending time on the patio boat, camping around the camp fire, having barbecues on the boat and at home. He was a great water skier and loved being pulled on the tube all day long. He also loved snow skiing where he would spend many weekends with family and friends. We have so many wonderful loving memories with family, friends, and traveling to so many places. We only have a picture now, a frozen piece of time to remind us of how it was when you were here and ours. We see your smiling eyes each morning when we wake; we talk to you and place a kiss upon your lovely face. How much we miss you being here, we really cannot say. The ache is deep inside our hearts and never goes away. We hear it mentioned often that time will heal the pain, but if we're being honest, we hope it will remain. We need to feel you constantly to get us through the day. We loved you so much, why did you go away? The angels came and took you that really wasn't fair. They took our one and only son, our future life, our heir. If only they had asked us if we would take your place. We would have done so willingly, leaving you this world to grace. You should have had so many years to watch your life unfold and in the midst of this, to watch your Dad and Mom grow old! We hope you're watching from above at the daily tasks we do and let there be no doubt at all, we really do love you. Jeremy is predeceased in death by his brother Brandon, great grandmother Grace Matako, grandfather Henry Ouellette, great grandparents Ed and Eva Wattman, and uncle Alan Davis. He is survived by his parents, Edwin Ouellette, stepmother Cherry Ouellette, mother Judy Butler and stepfather Tommy Butler; sister Jaimie Brauning (Daniel), nieces Mariah, Kelsey; nephew Walker; grandparents Joyce Ouellette and Bill and Shirley Johnson, great grandfather Ed Matako, aunts and uncles: Cindy Roseman (Noel) Sharon Hutchins, Janis Palermo (Sam), Steve Ouellette (Lydia), Jim Ouellette (Zoraida), Lisa Paul and John Williams; cousins: Corey, Casey, Michael, Craig, Bryan, Tina, Niki, Jennifer, Kelly, Stephanie. A celebration of life is planned for Sunday, May 29 from 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm at Baywood Golf and Country Club. Please RSVP by May 15 at [email protected]. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the charity of your choice. Please sign the guestbook at www.times-standard.com under obituaries.

Thinking of you always my fun-loving brother. Our hearts ache and wish we had one more day with you. A hug, a laugh, a family dinner... Heavenly Father, Thank you for giving me the greatest best friend and brother for 25 years and blessing me with children to give him the title of Uncle Jeremy. He sure was a blessing! And please, take my anxious thoughts and worries and help me remember Love (your son Jesus) covers all of our hurts, habits, and hang-ups. In Jesus name, Amen.

To Jeremy's Mother Judy,
We know you are suffering more and more with each passing day, and it's so sad to watch you in such pain. Only a mother could understand that heartache, especially when you've lost two sons. Jeremy has joined his older brother Brandon in heaven, and there is no doubt that they walk the same path together now. I pray that you can find some comfort in knowing this.
I Love You with all my heart sis.

Aloha Ouellette family,

I was shocked and very saddened to hear about Jeremy, only yesterday. Although I haven't had any contact with him or any of you in many years, my heart is broken & confused. Jeremy was a part of my life for a time & I loved him very much. I have many fun memories of him. I still can't believe this :( My sincere condolences to all of you. I'm sending big hugs across the Pacific. If any of you should want to contact me, I'm on Facebook as Cherese Cher Angelel. I tried to find Judy & Jaime with no luck. Peace, blessings & Aloha, Cherese

April 18, 2016 will be etched forever in my heart. Jeremy left us all far too early in life. He will be deeply missed, as the pain of not being able to grow old together sets into an empty reality. Jeremy was so full of life, and always had such a beautiful smile upon his face. He was my everything, and now he's gone. However, grateful for every moment that God gave me with Jeremy, oh how I wish I had been given more moments with him. Jeremy, I love you so...and I am certain you will be there to welcome me to walk hand in hand in the glory of Our Lord, when it's my turn. Until then, my love...Rest in Peace...I love you!

My condolences Judy, Ed, and Jaimie. So sorry to hear of your loss. My memories of Jeremy were the smiles and whole hearted happiness he had being around family and of course that beautiful, Trinity Lake. I was lucky enough to live some happy moments with you all. A little piece of my heart was broken to hear of the sad news. Rest in peace Jeremy.
