This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one Jeremy Rowlands who was born in July 1978 and passed away on December 7, 2008 at the age of 30. We will remember him forever.
In grade school, Jeremy was asked to create a timeline of his life. He titled his project "Mighty Jeremy". Suffice it to say, to those of us who knew and loved him, Jeremy lived up to this title, and more.
His personality was a subtle blend of quirky humor and timeless wisdom. Close to a year ago, mired by unbearable grief, I struggled to compose a eulogy that would do justice to my precious nephew's remarkable spirit. I don't know if I succeeded, but one thing became crystal clear through that process - Jeremy was loved, admired, and cherished far beyond the scope of my knowledge of him. The outpouring of support and sheer volume of people who came to honor and remember Jeremy at his funeral was overwhelming. Although we tried to share a glimpse into Jeremy's world with a memorial video and the sharing of photos, it was clear that we would barely scratch the surface of a life full of interesting and impactful moments, cherished memories, and loving friends.
It is my hope that many, many people will contribute to this site. I know that Jeremy will live forever in our hearts and memories, and my goal is to keep him close to the surface; to continually celebrate him, our Mighty Jeremy.
