Jeremy recently began his career as a Client Intake Specialist at Meals on Wheels where he was also selected to head up the employee LGBTQ+ committee. It didn’t take him long to thrive in this position.
He enjoyed performing, whenever possible, playing video games online as well as RPG games in-person with friends, reading, watching sports and spending time laughing with the people who loved him. He had an infectious laugh and a creative spirit. He was a beloved son, a cherished brother and a fierce friend. He will be forever missed.
