Jeremy graduated from Ridgevalley School in 1998. After high school he moved to Edmonton to pursue a career in hair and makeup. He always loved to spread his wings and moved for a short period of time to Vancouver, BC. When he returned to the peace country he started working as an Operator in the Oil and Gas industry with his father. Jeremy had the opportunity to go to Nova Scotia to work on a project involving natural gas. He returned to Western Canada ending up in Fort St. John, BC. continuing his career as an Oil and Gas Operator. Jeremy was always ambitious and looking for new and exciting opportunities. He left his career to pursue other opportunities that would be more fulfilling.
Jeremy loved animals and always had a number of pets, and stray cats he would rescue from wherever. He is now running and playing with all of his pets who passed before him. He also had a heart for anyone in need or struggling.

We will miss Jeremy more than words can say, but we know he is resting in the hands of the Heavenly Father.
