    Jeremy was my cube neighbor at Seattle Public Utilities. We had a fun thing where in the morning we would say 'Good Morning Ralph, Good Morning Sam' from the old cartoons. At work he was a bright and friendly face. He was quick to offer help and he really cared about things. Since I sat next to him, I could hear him on the phone - not so much the actual words - but his tone with people was always kind, respectful and patient. I was just starting to get to know his family through his stories - and he sure cared about his family and kids. He spoke a lot about his kids. Jeremy made work better, made the days easier and I really miss him. I so sad that this happened. -Reed, SPU Co-worker

    I have no words to convey how my heart is breaking. Not just for myself, but for each of you who were blessed to have this so loved young man in your lives more often than I. Please know I am here for every one of you, even though miles and aging (for me) is keeping us apart. Actually those are the words I once told Jep, minus the aging. When he was younger, we spent many days and hours talking out problems of being young! He was the best of the best and his heart was always in the right place at the right time, no matter what the problem. He was my sister's baby and held such a special spot in all of us...me, his aunt and his three uncles. We will see him again...of this I know! I love you, Jepper....you're the best! Love, Aud
