To Jeremiah´s family and friends, our most heartfelt condolences.

Jeremiah made a lasting impression on everyone.

Our family knew Jeremiah through Evangel Heights Christian Academy.
Jeremiah had a wonderful spirit and as many have observed, fearless approach to life, even as young man.

I got to be around Jeremiah a few times at various EHCA events and remember his spirit and the bond he had with his classmates. I must say, what a special group of young men and women that EHCA class has given us all.

The world is diminished without Jeremiah here with us, in the physical world. However, we should all endeavor to carry on his zest for life and living it fearlessly.
Jeremiahs heart and love he had for his family, friends and classmates will always be with us until we meet him again.

Sincerest Condolences from The Villella Family. Brock, Marsha, Damon and Logan

The first time I met Jen & Miah was poolside at Seneca Hills. Jeremiah was an adorable baby who grew into a handsome young man.
What I most remember is his gorgeous shiny black hair; I had such hair envy!

I am so very sorry for your loss. I knew him briefly when he was young and finding his way in life.

Miah was the best teammate to my son on the KHS soccer field. He was older and my son was a freshman but I knew that anytime my kid was on the field Miah would be looking out for him. He was fiercely protective and put everything on the line each time he played. He was a trueheart and I am so incredibly saddened to read this.

Jeremiah was a special soul. I met him in 6th grade at EHCA, and like he did with many others, he made a lasting impact in my life. He was always a stud when it came to soccer, the ladies, or making the whole group laugh out loud. I share a special bond with him from 2020 that really taught me how real Miah was. He lived his life to the absolute fullest and had his brothers' backs to the end. His generosity, kindness, and love for life will never be forgotten. Thank you for being a great friend Miah. I love and miss you bro. But I know I will see you again.

Jeremiah was one of the kindest souls I have ever had the pleasure to cross paths with. Our friendship was an unlikely one, as we were so different in almost every way, yet somehow we always ended up back in each other's company time and time again. We pulled each other into countless hijinks throughout our school years, and he always made each one memorable. His high energy presence was always a highlight of the day when we would interact, whether that be in school or through activities in the church or sports. Once we graduated, he and I stayed in contact as well as we could on our separate paths. He was there for me when my mother passed away, and used our shared sense of humor to lighten the mood, one of the few people who could do so. The last time I spoke to him, we were discussing how much life had changed since we left EHCA. I was well on my way to becoming a teacher, and he was starting his life anew, making plans to better his future. Times had changed, but our friendship had not, and I am thankful to have made so many memories with him. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. My heart aches for your family that words cannot express. Our family loved to watch him play soccer with Seth and the team. Jeremiah had such drive and love of the sport. Jeremiah's incredible smile will be missed.
