Jeremy’s Amazing Children ❤️💜
Today was hard, I said goodbye to my uncle. Who was an amazing man.
Growing up I couldn’t ask for a better uncle until addiction took hold.
He was my favorite person, I wish my girls could have know the man I did. The man that was so high strung about his truck when he washed it.
The man that couldn’t say no when you asked for something. The man that forever be on your side when you did wrong. The man who loved that rabbit. Who was always up for whatever crazy idea us kids were coming up with. I will forever remember edging your hair and you giving me a lecture about how I needed to know what to do.
I’ll forever love you. I honestly didn’t think it was real till today and expected you to show up and say it was a joke.
Love Taylor ❤️
I will love you forever Jeremy ❤️💜 Thank you so much for giving me the title of being a WIFE. You will be forever in my heart. I Love you Little love you big love you like my little pig
I met Jeremy when we were 15. He moved to Missouri with his sister. He and my brother BJ were friends. When BJ died at age 16, Jeremy and I stayed in touch. I caused him my GA boy (loved his accent). He came to my high school graduation in 98 in Missouri. My dad was a truck driver. So when he’d get a load to GA I’d go. Jeremy would pick us up at the truck stop and take us to dinner. One time he took us to coca cola world because I love and collect coca cola. He took us to underground Atlanta. The last time I saw him was July 2022. We met him and Heather (love ya girl) for dinner after our vacay in Alabama. I always prayed for him to get victory over his addiction. I miss him and love him so much. He will forever be in my heart ❤️
To my brother
Where do I start? I love you with all my heart.
We have gone through so much with each other. I thought you would be there to the end, however you have left before us and I’m in so much pain.
I have to tell everyone, but yet I cannot speak your name. reality has not sunk in.
My chest it is crushing with so much pain I’ve never felt before.
I try to stay strong for our family as I tell them that you were no longer here. As we look upon you or Mom weeps, your sister cry, your wife begs to know why, and Our children crying. I can’t imagine to know the feeling because we all do not know why you left us so soon. But I am holding in all the pain inside. But yet I can’t get you out of my mind, and only thing I see is you when I close my eyes. I see your face and your smile I hear you say I love you brother As you walk out my door . I Hope you heard me say I love you too.
I love you brother.
love your,
brother
If only I knew where to start. Being so young at the time I never remembered much of our times together when I was a kid, but I had the privilege to spend the last month or two with you and could never imagine that me dropping you of that night would be the last time I saw you. Those early mornings either if i was picking you up to take you to a drug court or to a job will never be forgotten. Every night before I could go to bed all I could think about is our moments just talking in the truck about how are life’s are going and what we could do to be a better person for ourselves and everyone around us. You will never know how much you reading the book “THE FIFTH VITAL” I gave you meant to me, I know it might not have been much but to me it meant the absolute world. The areas you had highlighted in the book have their own place imbedded in me that I just can’t stop reading and rereading to myself.
I will always love you❤️-Cale
Your family loves you and will miss you.
When I was in high school, I was In the competition cheerleading squad. We have to put our hair up super curly for competition days. I still remember sitting on the floor at my Mama’s house while Jeremy put my hair up & rolled my ponytail for competition the next day. There are tons of other memories, but this one always stands out to me. I dont Think there were many guys out there that would take 30-45 mins to put in rollers for his girlfriend’s little sister. My great-grandmother used to love having him paint her nails too. He always did so happily & never scoffed or turned her down when she asked.
My dearest baby brother, I am so sorry if I didn’t do enough, or if I did too much! You will always be my baby brother, the one I aways protected the one that made me the mother I am today! I will protect our babies as long as I can. RIP my baby!
Jeremy
How do you say goodbye to someone that you saw take their first breath? The boy who stole your heart from thar first cry, that became your baby too, that you shared their earliest memories with?
You don’t.
You will always be a part of me, my memories, my joys and heartbreaks. You will always be there, a part of all of us as we mend our shattered hearts at the loss of your physical presence.
Until I hug you again,
I love you,
Always and Forever,
Audra

You boys were my best friends and you are not supposed to be gone whose gonna make everyone smile when the world brings us down .I love you Jeremy .I am heart broken .and to you I give all of my respect my love and I will miss you every day for the rest of my life you are a star in an otherwise dark sky . This is a tragedy .good bye my friend
I’ll never forget all the laughs when I would say I didn’t want to go somewhere. You would stick your head in the window and say “Come on Jessi you know you want to go” with this big smile on your face. I still remember when you lost your keys and you stopped yourself and skipped all the cuss words. I’ll never forget Jeremy, my whole life. Thank you for helping me move out of the apartment, you were always there for me!
Jessi
When I saw Jeremy as an adult still living at home (sorry Mom!) all I could think was, wow, he is the same fun uncle he was when I was so small.
And of course, he was over to fix up something or another for our house.
He really could never say “No” when asked. Every question that begins with “Can we play….” would be answered with yes. He would always visit and beat ‘the hard bosses’ in our games on the PS1 and N64.
I won’t ever forget you. I miss you.
To my youngest brother in law
I will remember and cherish the good times
I’m thankful and appreciate all you taught me about plumbing when we ran a truck together
I’m proud of the legacy you have left behind in your amazing children
You will always be loved and remembered
Jeremy, You are one of the kindest and sweetest human beings I have had the pleasure to know. You were like a little brother to me, as your family was my family too. You were always such a sweet, tender and funny little boy and that same spirit flowed through your expressions and interactions, as a man. I wish I would have stayed in more constant contact and been there for you more, in your darkest times. I will always love you and respect your kind and helpful spirit. Rest in Peace ❤️ -Zach
To Jeremy,
Thank you for the years we spent together. I came to know and love your beautiful daughter Jasmine, and you gave me a great gift Blake. He’s so smart and has your ears. I will remember you for all the good times and the memories you brought to my life before your addictions and struggles took hold. That’s not who you were. You were a funny sweet sensitive guy.
You will be missed, and you were loved so much.
Blake Watson

Jeremy,
Where to start… I love you with all of my heart and I thank you so much for giving me the title of your wife. If only I knew how I could have helped you in so many ways. Neither of us were perfect but at the end of the day the LOVE YOU had for me is undeniable. You were ALWAYS there for me no matter what & I pretty much got anything I asked for. I only wish you were here today to see the woman that I am continuing to be. I will soon have my business degree and I will only make you proud. I will see you again one day but until then you are FOREVER in my HEART and constantly on my mind. I love you little, love you big, love you like my little pig 🐷 💜
You were but young boy of 18 when you came to work for me with your brother’s encouragement. It did not take long to see the potential that you had, I watched you become a skilled plumber in a short amount of time. Faster than most. When I think black, I remember that boyish smile and your dry wet period it was shocking to know you were gone at such a young age, and such a profound sadness for all the ones that loved you that were left behind whose hearts will forever fill the loss. Rest in Peace.
He was a wonderful father, friend, brother, hard working and loved with all his heart. I love you and miss you so much brother
I can recall the first time meeting you which was at the daycare you put Jasmine in and I was her teacher. Then you met and started to date my daughter Brittany. Marriage followed awhile later and along with enjoying Jasmine you gave us a beautiful son Blake Watson to love and giving me official title of Mimi. You are missed by us and your family. You were taken too soon but it was God’s plan and
I know you’re resting easy now….
Jeremy,
I love you so dearly! Thank you for stepping up and taking on a roll you didn’t have to. Never in a million years did I think I would have to say goodbye to the best two men to ever step into my life in the same year. Thank you for the laughs and amazing memories. I will make sure Harlei knows all the amazing things about you! Love your Angel! ❤️
Love you little, Love you Big, Love you like my little PIG 😘💜
Love you little, Love you Big, Love you like my little PIG 😘💜
I miss you so much everyday baby <3 you will FOREVER be my TRUE LOVE ❤️
Love you little, Love you Big, Love you like my little PIG 😘💜
Beginning to compose a message is almost like I’m accepting this as an ending. Should I talk about the raspy voiced three year old that calls himself nuke the nerd. Or how you misunderstood how people once believed the earth was flat and wrote as fact in a report. Or how I wrapped you in scotch tape with your arm above your head so every time you tried getting out the tape pulled your face as if mushed up against a window. It’s not goodbye just see you later. I don’t have the words so I’ll leave a quote that articulates my thoughts better
I love you beyond the sky!!❤️ I’m so very grateful God gave me the time I had with you! To a man one made the choice to love me as his own child. Who may not have gave me the gift life, but did in fact give me the gift of you! As much as is hurts I know God looked in his garden and seen an empty spot, and looked down to see your tired face. He placed his arms around you and took you to rest. The garden must be beautiful, he never fails to take the best. It broke all of our hearts to loose you, but you didn’t go alone a part of us went with you the day he took you home. I love you now, forever and always! 🥰
~ your Angel

Jeremy it’s taking me sometime to do this it’s already February and I still don’t believe that you were out. You were one of my five babies you were the youngest never in my wildest dreams did I think that my children would leave before I did I want you to know I love you very much and I always loved you, and maybe I wasn’t good enough mother to give you the right are opportunities are guidance. All I can say is that I’m sorry you have three beautiful children and I will do all I can to help and keep them safe. Your youngest one said the other day, that when she looked at the sky, and she put her hand at the window That she felt you touch her with your hand. She misses you very very much. She talks about you I miss you your whole family misses you. Maybe one day in the future will see one another. Love you always mom
