Jeremy repaired my guitar at BrickHouse and improved it so much that a visiting pro admired his work making the instrument so easy to play. Jeremy did this good work in his modest way, a thoroughly admirable man who had a sweet presence and did good for many. I’ll miss him.
Jeremy was such a gentle soul. A fantastic human being with so much talent, whether he was pulling a hang 5 on a BMX bike or shredding a guitar. Many great memories of Jeremy, and a sad loss for all that knew him.

Jeremy was born four years after I graduated high school. His passing is so wrong, so unfair. So we are left with his guidance on how to beautifully live a life. My banjo has Jeremy’s touch from the tailpiece to the peghead, and all points between. Now I’ll remember him every time I pick it up
My sincere condolences to Elaine, Mike, and the family. Jeremy’s death is a great loss to his family, his community, and worlds he had yet to discover. May his memory be for a blessing.
Jeremy was like the brother I never had. Everything from skateboarding, biking, music and hockey! He was such a kind gentle soul. I will always love you as a brother.
My condolences to Viv, Louie, Lorraine, Mike and Matt.
Jeremy was one of my favorite people, and an incredible friend. When my car was totalled he helped me take care of the car and get home without me even needing to ask. His humor and smile always brightened my day. He taught me so much, and was such an important part of my life. I will remember him always, with joy, happiness, and love.
Love and condolences to Lorraine, Mike and Jeremy’s family, friends, and all those touched by his gentle presence. My his memory always be an opportunity to be showered with blessings.

Hannah and I are thinking of you all with heavy hearts. May his memory be for a blessing.
I first started bringing in instruments in need of repair to Jeremy at 15 years old. We used to joke about the running list of repairs he had done since then… 5 different instruments in total and probably 10 different adjustments! He was always a comforting presence too. He’ll be missed!
Mike and Lorriane
We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Jeremy. He was such a kind, caring warmhearted person who was always was generous to others. He was a person that any parent would be proud to raise. He was a blessing to both you both and everyone fortunate enough to know him.While his passing is a heavy burden, keeping his memory alive is the best tribute we can give him. Let us all remember the beauty of his life and smile as we recall past special enjoyable moments with Jeremy
My heart is breaking for all of Jeremy’s family. Please know you are in my prayers.
I am so very sorry to hear of Jeremy’s passing. He was a warm-hearted, kind person who will be greatly missed in the community.
May Jeremy’s memory be eternal and may his spirit soar in the heavens.
I just heard of Jeremys passing,I am so sorry! I remember him as a little boy following after the older boys, Chris and Matt. Please accept my heart felt sympathy.
😢Unexpected losses are so hard. Surprises aren’t always good. Awesome, how much you loved him, and how much he loved you too. and as much as you all miss him, I know he misses you.
Davis family.: as you mourn his loss in a powerful way, Tears will be your companion more often than you would like but it’s love that’s flowing out – grief with nowhere to go. When I think of awesome families as a teenager, I do think of your family. Jeremy was so artistic and thoughtful. Matt rounded up fire crackers n the matches – when the fire truck show up and there’s nobody else to blame. 🤷♀️Jeremy was a legend of his own and may y’all rejoice, even harder when you’re reunited someday.💖 kids-may you find comfort in knowing he spent the best years of his life with you.
Jeremy repaired a wide variety of my instruments and made excellent repairs and improvements. He also helped make sure that my instruments were performance-ready, which reduced stress for me while also giving a boost to my comfidence. In this way he helped me pursue my dreams, at the same time never judging me or making me feel that I didn’t fit in. I can’t explain the depth of my gratitude for these kindnesses.
Likewise his mother always did so much to boost my group of friends. We weren’t the popular kids and Mrs. Davis helped us regain a sense of humor, and grow in confidence. So in me, the work his mother started, was finished by the son. These are truly great people, who have found their success by lifting others up. I’m grateful, and I’m so very sorry for this unimaginable loss and grief.
Jeremy will be remembered.
