Jeremy was my first youth pastor at First church of the nazarine. He definitely planted a seed in alot of us teens there growing up to be christ-like. He was always caring and was able to be someone we could talk to whenever we needed. Prayers for his family.

I will remember Jeremy the most due to his bold preaching style. He preached the Word of God while often admitting that he was preaching to himself as well as to the congregation. He was not afraid to admit that some of the things he preached about were a struggle for him as well. This authentic preaching style made it extremely easy to relate to what he was trying to teach us! There is a saying that he lived by, “Preach the Word of God, use words if you have to!” His life and the way he lived it preached the Word of God even when he was not talking. I will miss him tremendously.
