In 1992 Jeremy and his mother moved to Lone Grove, Okla. where he gained a dad, Gordon, and a brother, Anthony. Jeremy attended Lone Grove schools, class of 2003. In his school years, he was part of the “Thundering Herd” playing the snare drum. Jeremy received many awards while in school and was well-liked. With his witty sense of humor, he loved to make people laugh. In sixth grade, he received an award called “Joking-Jeremy.” In his Junior and Senior years, he attended SOTC where he took auto-body classes and won multiple awards for his skill in painting. Jeremy had a passion for working on old vehicles. He got his first fixer-upper at the age of 12. He and Anthony spent many hours working together. Jeremy carried his passion for tinkering with vehicles all throughout his life. He especially loved working on low-rider trucks. Chances are if you ever saw Jeremy, you saw him in an orange lowrider with hydraulics; or at least have a memory of him and one of his trucks. He could fix literally anything. Jeremy was a very passionate person, kind, friendly, and was always there to lend a helping hand. If you knew Jeremy, he was your friend. He loved animals, especially his old cat, Muff. Jeremy worked as an electrical apprentice before getting his unlimited journeyman license at the age of twenty-one. He was the best electrician and the hardest worker; he would never let anyone out do him. He was also a great teacher, who taught many apprentices and helped them grow in their career.

They had many trips and experiences including countless Colorado trips to spend time with friends and see the beautiful scenery, trips to Florida, and endless camping trips at the lake.
