  • Jennifer Miller says:

    Oh Jeremy, I remember when I first saw your sunshine smile, sitting across from me in orientation, how quiet and unassuming you were. As we worked together through the months your personality was a beam of light for everyone’s day. Always smiling, always helpful, and always laughing, you made us here at work realize how special you were. I’m really going to miss you, but know that you are in peace and the light that once emanated from you is now wrapped around you in a loving embrace. My thoughts and prayers are with all of those that had the priviledge to know you and love you, especially your family. You are so missed.

    When I arrived to work ticked off due to traffic,Jeremy would immediately put a smile on my face. I found out about this tragedy at work and had one of the worst days I have ever had at work.I was extemely upset, which in turn made me emotionally unpredictabe and angry. I know that one day I will see him in heaven with that smiling face.
    Maybe god needed to smile in these difficult times, and if anyone could do it it’s Jeremy.

    Iam shocked and terribly saddened by losing my friend, co-worker. Jeremy was a very hard worker, focused on his future. We talked often about cars. I promised him to drive my corvette. One day he will. He had pushed through alot, not losing focus of his future. I will never forget him. God be with your family.

    My thoughts and prayers go out to the Lindsey family.. Him and I worked together a few years ago at Sonic before I transferred to McDonald’s, in which i then was working with his brother… He was a bright person… His whole family is bright and just so nice and wonderful.. He always had a smile on his face and always willing to give a hug to anyone… He picked you up when you were down and listened to a problem you may have in life… He is going to be missed by many.. there are things in life we will not ever understand and this is going to be one of them things… Someone to be gone so early.. May you rest in peace Jeremy and we will see you on the other side.. **BIG HUGS** : ) Sammi

    I grew up with Jeremy, and like many people in this small community, we became friends at an early age. Like most people often do, we lost touch after graduating high school, but when I moved back home and saw him one day at work, he had a huge smile plastered on his face and gave me the biggest hug. He was always selfless, and kind. Had a smile brighter than the sun.
    My heart goes out to his family… this is such a loss for them as well as the people he had met along the way. We will never forget him, and hold him close to our hearts, Always. You have been taken from this Earth too soon.
    R.I.P Jeremy

    Jeremy was a wonderful young man with big plans for his future. He could bring a smile to anyone’s face who was near. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Like everyone, I am baffled by how this could happen to him.
    May God watch over his family and love ones and give them the strength and comfort needed during this difficult time.
