Praying for the family to go through this difficult time one day at a time. Lord Jesus, I know that you are listening to their questions and the teardrops. Please hold the Diana, Samson and Emmanuel  in the palm of your hand. Give them hope, courage, and strength to face each day as it comes. May Jeremy's smile and good deeds linger in your hearts. 

I met Jeremy twice, once as a bouncy little baby in his mother's arms in Kenya and the next as a  bright-eyed young boy in the US. As I read the tributes and I try to put together your life story, I realize you were an amazing young man who brought joy to so many.  Thanks for the joy you brought your family and friends when you were alive. I hope to meet you in glory when we will reunite with all our loved ones. Di, Sam, and Manny, please know you are great in the eyes of God and He loves you all  and will never leave you.  

Dearest Di & family,
My heartfelt condolences to you all.
 May God's promises comfort you and sustain you. May His steadfast love be your strength and hope. I am keeping you in prayer for comfort and strength.  
"And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, 
will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" .Phil 4:7

Jeremy was my student in sophomore English class.  I was so saddened to hear of his passing.  I remember him as a bright student and such a friendly young man who always had a smile on his face. I know that the EPCHS community mourns his loss.  My condolences to Mr. and Mrs. Onyango, Manny, and the rest of his family and friends.

Samson and family,
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss and I am thinking of you and your family and sending prayers.

Sincerely,
Georgeanna (Josie) Tanguay

We are all so very sorry to hear of Jeremy's passing. He was a bright light and always well-mannered and kind. He came to our home several times during the boys' high school years, and I remember being pleasantly surprised to see him here a few years ago. I can only imagine your sorrow.  You have our deepest sympathy.

Part 1.

 I'm delighted to state that I knew Jeremy before he was born! Jeremy's father, who is also my uncle and dearest friend, informed me of the excellent news first. I could see the excitement in his eyes as he was about to become a first-time dad! It was a huge thrill when Jeremy was born and named after my late grandfather "Michael Obiero." Aunty Diana and Uncle Sam were overjoyed when Jeremy was born. They adored this kid wholeheartedly, and their love became greater! I didn't get to visit Jeremy frequently because of the distance, but I constantly talked to them on the phone, and my uncle kept me updated on the family's progress.

Jeremy & the entire family also have a tight bond with my daughter Winnie since she has visited them often. Jeremy was on the line-up during my daughter's wedding.

 

Our family in Switzerland had the opportunity to bond and spend quality time with Jeremy and his brother Mani. I could see the man Jeremy would become as he matured from a boy to a teenager—strong, steady, and confident. I noticed a lot of good qualities in this young man. I noticed that he is incredibly distinctive in whatever he does. His love for his brother Mani is beyond the limit. He constantly listened to and never got bored of him because Mani is highly talkative. They often had quite sophisticated intellectual debates, and many of our Swiss friends couldn't believe their age. When they visited CERN in Geneve, Jeremy inquired about the prospect of studying there! They traveled by train alone for the first time in Switzerland. I became really anxious when it was late, and I couldn't contact them on the phone! They arrived home a few hours later, joyful and full of CERN stories. Jeremy was highly interested in CERN and was considering studying there; however, his love for his family couldn't allow him to be away from them. He brought me a lovely present from CERN and enlightened me about its history!I always referred to him as "Mr. Albert Junior“ RIP!

Our new years eve celebration will never be the same buddy! We will always keep you in our hearts, we know your safe and in good hands now. 

Dear Jeremy,

You're gone and everything is worse now. 

So much of who I am I owe to you - my love of movies, my eclectic taste in music, my love of strategic board games, my love of philosophical dialogue... pretty much all my hobbies started with you. In a way, I guess you live on through me because of that. Your impact on me and countless other people means you are never really gone. Besides, you were a physics nerd, you knew that all of us are undying atoms and unceasing energy, and nothing we do can change that. So you're physical and you're ideal are still here, and their echoes will always be.

I know the look you'd give me now, stop that. ;)



Your beautiful smile will be missed, and you will stay close to our hearts. May your soul rest in peace.

Jeremy was in one of the first new member classes at Iowa State Triangle. Jeremy was a friend to everyone in Triangle. From getting groups to go to the gym, to watching anime, or just hanging out, everyone called Jerry their friend. One of my favorite memories was playing Board Games with Jerry in the Library at the house. The game had so many rules, but Jerry took the time to teach me all of them. From sending Tik Toks to one another and poking fun at each other, Jeremy never failed to make me smile.  I promised myself that I’ll give out a little more kindness in the world, because that’s what Jeremy did every day. 

Part 2
Jeremy had a unique smile. He was shy yet entertaining. I once cooked Swiss Raclette, as you can see in the photos. Jeremy ate a lot of various cheese, and everyone was full; however, I joked that if Jeremy ate the remaining five pieces, he would earn USD 200.00!
 
My sister Dorothy stood up and informed Jeremy that if he ate any more Raclette, he would wind up in the hospital because too much Raclette may be hazardous. We all taunted Jeremy; nevertheless, he insisted on doing it, even though I warned him about the consequences of too much Raclette. They always had too many competition games with my family here in Switzerland.
 
This year, my uncle informed me that the boys would visit us after they visited Kenya, and we were pretty excited! We planned like humans; nonetheless, God had other ideas.
Since Jeremy's death, our lives have been a living nightmare, especially for his parents and brother!
 
We need time to acclimate to and comprehend what has happened. One thing I know for sure is that Jeremy was incredibly clever, timid, and soft-spoken. As a dream child! Jeremy had the most wonderful and caring parents and brother in the universe.
We are grateful to my Uncle Sam and Aunty Diana for providing us with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
We were taught never to question God, no matter how difficult the situation.
Please continue to pray for Jeremy's family.
Dance with Angels, nephew!
"Nind gikwe wuodwa "until we meet again!

 Jeremy was a gentleman who filled a room with contagious laughter. Grew up with my kids and and have been friends since childhood. Was like my son. Will be missed dearly. You left us with deep sorrow. Rest easy till we meet again buddy! 

Gone too soon 😭😭😭 but forever in our hearts ♥ May God rest your soul in eternal peace Jeremy till we meet again in that beautiful home called Heaven. 

From Sarah Adera 
Family 

From when we met 2.5 years ago to today you’ve been my friend, the other half of @BenandJerryfitness, my roommate, and my brother. I feel very grateful that I was able to spend so much time with you and you made every day something special. Every day I spend lifting, watching anime or learning cool physics things I will be thinking of you and the memories we made. I will live every day with a part of you with me, I miss you already and may you rest in peace.

This summer I had the opportunity of staying with the Onyango family for Jeremy's 24th birthday. Getting to know his family and being able to celebrate with him was my favorite part of the summer. I will hold onto those memories forever.

Jeremy loved my cat and my cat loved him. I think Jeremy knew my cat just as long as I did and it showed. Crookshank's would see him through the window before I did and purr and run to the door to greet him every single time

I only had the privilege of knowing Jeremy for the past 2 years. In those 2 short years he became my best and truest friend. We talked tried to talk almost every day. My heart is broken and all of my love goes out to his family and friends as we grieve this incredible loss.

Jeremy loved my cat and my cat loved him. I think Jeremy knew my cat just as long as I did and it showed. Crookshank's would see him through the window before I did and purr and run to the door to greet him every single time. 

It’s with great shock and disbelief that I learnt of Jeremy’s demise. 
Dianah(Mum to Jeremy) and fam, It’s not easy to come to terms and many times your faith in God will be ask lots of questions but the God who lifts up the broken hearted will pull you through and mend you through renewal.
May his spirit and lovely smile forever live in our hearts till resurrection day. 

I share in your grief and loss
