RIP Jeremy

Jeremy reached out to me and others to lend our support for a friend of his (Lindsey) who has been struggling with end stage kidney failure for eons. He just struck me as a kind and compassionate man. It just isn't fair.

His good nature and humanity really shined through in his posts. I never got to meet him face to face and now I never will. That really saddens me.

I am always struck, at times like this, at the frailty of life...at how sudden the end can be, at how senseless it can all seem...

In the grander scheme one life on a planet of 8.5 billion living souls is actually quite insignificant...the world does not mark a passing, it continues to turn, unaffected...but when that life was part of a community that has become a close-knit group that cares about each other and concerns itself of their well being a single life becomes a very significant thing indeed, and it's loss has a huge effect on the group...

I've never met Jeremy...in the grander scheme I never knew the man...but by simply interacting with him in our little corner of the internet he became an important part of my life...

Things here will never be the same...

I don't think anyone can say it better than this.

I wasn't on last night and just found out. My first reaction was
Oh, God... No... :cry:

That won't change for a long time. You were a good man, Jeremy.

Made me think of this... I think he would've appreciated this...

I think this is the first and best way we can honor him. If you signed up, finish it. If you didn't originally but would like to contribute, cover one of Jeremy's tunes. Maybe we should even extend the date a bit to give people a chance to jump in if they'd like.

I mean, we're musicians. We deal with shit through music. So let's do that.

Exactly this.

The first thing that comes to mind when I think about Jeremy is the struggles he had with jobs and moving and living apart from his family for a period of time until the jobs sorted themselves out. In all of that, it seemed to me that the only thing that mattered to him was getting back together with his family.

That spoke volumes as to what kind of man he was and I admired him for that alone.
 
I was sad to see this on FB this morning, so I wanted to pop over here and mention that I still think about all you guys as my internet guitar friends, even if I've gotten a bit too busy with work and family to actively participate. Maybe Jeremy's legacy, other than his obvious good nature, can be some kind of reminder of how precious our time is, and how we shouldn't take any of that for granted, particularly our friends and family. RIP Jeremy.

Exactly how I feel. I've had a number of issues that have stopped me from participating here as much as I used to..but I still think about all of you. Take care of yourselves and your loved ones.

I liked this post last night as I was finishing overserving myself. Ugh. Felt right to do last night but this morning does not make anything better. Man I wish this was not true. Today is a big family day. Gonna focus on treating my family right today in Jeremy's honor and remembrance. Much mojo and love to Jeremy's family.
 
I only knew Jeremy from this forum, by reading his posts. What a shock. I don't know what else to say.

My deepest condolences to his family and to you guys here on this forum who were close to him.
 
I haven't been on the forum much and I just thought I'd check in and see whats new. And I lost my shit

I am absolutely gutted over this. Jeremy was one of the first guys on the forum that I didn't know in the outside world that really made me feel welcome. We loved the same bands and we liked the same guitars and we always said we'd meet up when I was back in the midwest for a beer. He said a root beer for me because he didn't want me to backslide.

I have been sobbing for the last fifteen minutes in front of my employees like I knew him for years.

My prayers are with his family. I just can't believe this

That's the nature of this forum really. We're more than just mere acquaintances.
I've never posted in a forum like this where people genuinely cared for each other to this degree.

Very poignant and true.

I didn't know Jeremy other than his postings on here but he seemed like a truly genuine, kind hearted guy and to go that young with a wife and kids is horrible.

RIP brother and mojo to everyone affected by his passing.
 
Massive heart attack at 33? That sounds like a sick joke. I mean -- that's the prime of life. I am so sad right now.

Ok, I think, partly selfishly as I don't feel ready, that we should extend this recordingfest a month and get more people in. Also, we could use this edition to generate funds for the memorial by suggesting that each participant pay a "royalty" into Jeremy's fund for playing one of his band's tunes.
