Jeremy loved everything about the outdoors, especially hunting and fishing, and sitting around the campfire telling stories at the deer lease. When he was not at the deer lease, Jeremy would try to attend as many Texas Country music concerts he could, even if it was in another state. Jeremy enjoyed watching and attending sporting events and had a passion for collecting sports memorabilia. He accomplished so much in his shortened life from being a certified welding inspector, caring for the sick and injured as a certified EMT, and still had time to create and patent one of his original ideas. Jeremy was a member of St. Theresa’s Catholic Church in Sugar Land where he was baptized as a child and remained a member of the Knights of Columbus Council 4204 his adult life.
