My most sincere prayers go out to you in such a difficult time. I knew Jeremy through school and have taken many classes with him. He was a joy to be around and always had a way of making me smile. Being more than twice his age, he made an effort to make me feel like every other student. Most of all he had an old soul and had a way about him that was peaceful and happy. I wish there was more I could do for the entire family as I’ve been through this several times in my life. It’s never easy. God bless you all. May He bring peace upon your heart and allow you to cherish his memory.
rest in peace my sweet baby brother i still remember when mom called me on my birthday to tell me about you I love you so much and I wish i could of helped you through what ever was troubling you rest in peace
I HATE to debate, but Jeremy was always the first person ready for it. He is the ONLY person I could ever stand to debate against because not only did he respect my opinions, but he tried to understand me. Inside the classroom and out, he was always so understanding of me and other people. But he also gave it to you strong and honest if he felt the need. If that’s not a true testament to who he was, then I don’t know what is.
Every class I had with him was always so full of life and energy, because of him.
There is a picture a few people have posted from a class period where we were on lockdown, stuck in Mr. Bowers class. That little group of us got so close after that day and I’m so glad that I was able to be apart of that.
Though his time on earth was cut so short and we may never understand why, he was such a joy and blessing to have.
I mourn with you, but more importantly I pray that you will find peace in this storm called “life.”

I'm in shock…I work at Potomac State College Dining Service and Jeremy came in everyday last year with a smile on his face and what a wonderful smile..He was a wonderful person who always made my day better sending his family many prayers hugs and much love
, I keep thinking back on how I met you , that cowboy hat and cowboy boots . You told me you needed a job I made sure you were hired . Then you became my right hand man unloading them trucks. We had so many good times. I loved making you dinner and seeing that smile of yours. I miss you like crazy. Now you are my angel . Jeremy I love and miss you so much . Forever your Keyser mom.
I remember when we worked at the Dollar Tree and you calling Jackie Reba. Walking up and down the aisles yelling ” Listen Linda” always made me laugh. You will be missed. Fly High Jeremy
Jeremy always had a smile and would speak to you anytime he saw you.
He's going to be missed. Prayers for the whole family.
He was a wonderful person through and through. I will miss seeing him and his smile. If he only knew just how special he really was. He never met a stranger. God Be with your family, friends and professors at such a difficult time. .
