Born on March 19, 1994, in Glendale, Arizona, Jeremy was a bright and inquisitive kid, always full of energy and curiosity. He graduated from Barry Goldwater High School in 2012, where he enjoyed drama and the arts. Jeremy went on to earn his license in Cosmetology from Avalon Institute in 2014.
Jeremy was known for his ability to see the world differently, always showing love to others without judgement. Jeremy will be remembered for his outgoing personality, his willingness to help others, and his contagious laugh that could light up any room.
Despite the love and support of his family and friends, Jeremy struggled with mental health challenges, which he faced with courage and resilience. His passing is a heartbreaking reminder of the importance of mental health care and the need for compassion and understanding. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
One year ago today, you decided your life mission was complete. My heart still aches with the weight of missing you. When trying to find joy through the sorrow, I typically think of your childhood the most- us swimming for hours on end, our trips to the zoo, and those endless car rides filled with laughter and too much dancing. I love you so much Jeremy, and my heart misses you more than my words can ever express.
It’s hard to put into words the heartbreak of losing my cousin Jeremy. He wasn’t just family…he was my friend, a partner in laughter, and one of the few people who truly understood the humor and joy in our shared childhood memories. We could gossip for hours, reminisce about shows we both loved, laugh until our stomachs hurt, making fun of the same ridiculous things we always had since we were kids.
Jeremy had a light in him—a thoughtful spirit mixed with a quick wit and the kind of kindness you don’t come across every day. He made people feel seen and understood, even when he was carrying the weight of things he didn’t often share.
I will miss our inside jokes, his infectious laugh, and the way he made even the most ordinary moments feel fun. My heart aches knowing he’s gone, but I hold tight to the memories, to the laughter, and to the love that will never fade.
Rest easy, Jeremy. I hope you’ve found peace. You are deeply loved and will never be forgotten. I love you.
