Jeremy was my best friend. No judgement, all love. I’ve shared so much of myself with him I feel I piece of me passed away as well. Never knew a stranger and always had a smile. I’ll always love you Jeremy.
About 6 years younger than me, I remember Jeremy as our younger cousin as a kid. As a teenager, I remember playing board games and outside with Jeremy when we visited Grandma Wallace. I'm glad I was able to visit with him a few months ago at my niece's wedding. He will be missed. I can imagine Jeremy being reunited with Grandma Wallace and other relatives. Keeping his family in our prayers. - Brian Wallace
I am an aunt to Jeremy by marriage. My husband was Howard Wallace. We made many trips down to the farm as my boys were growing up. Jeremy was a grandma‘s boy, grandma Nelly WALLACE In his early years. My boys would play with him. He was a. kind loving child.. He enjoyed Farm life.
We were able to attend his college graduation party in Springfield, Ohio. We were very proud of his accomplishments. We saw him at family Reunion over the years after his grandma had a stroke and had to leave the farm.
I was made aware of his serious illness lately having to be on kidney dialysis. I was able to send him some encouraging get well…
Jeremy will be missed greatly by myself and his entire family. His passing has left a void that cannot be repaired. His presence was strong and one that will be missed. Jeremy was the most caring person I knew and would do anything for anyone. I feel I have become a better person for having known Jeremy. My only regret is that I did not get anymore years with him. I will cherish the brief years we had and will remember him with a smile.
