Jeremy loved to spend time with his family, especially his Grandson, Wyatt.  He was anxiously awaiting the arrival of another grandson, Oakley, in the fall.  He was a man of few words but a passionate one.  He was hard working, kind, and generous, never turning down a person in need.  Jeremy enjoyed grilling/cooking on the deck.  He prepared many meals for him and his wife, Kim and he rarely missed an opportunity to host family and friends.  He was an avid sports fan and particularly loved football.  He was a long time and loyal fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Michigan Wolverines.
