my prayers go out to the family of Jeremy… He was a great person… He made everyones day… He will be dearly missed and loved…
I am so sorry your loss. I didn’t know Jeremy, but I do know his uncle Andy. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. May god be with you, your family and friends. I’m sure in Jeremy’s short life he has touched many peoples lives. Not only that, but the pride he had in our country by showing it with serving in our military. Jeremy may no longer be on earth with us, but he will forever live in our hearts and memories. This may not help, but Jeremy is now the angel that will forever look over his family and friends. MISTY
Please accept my condolences on your loss. During times like this it is often difficult to find comfort and I hope these few words help to ease your pain. Today 2/137th held a memorial service here on Camp Lemonier and it was a fittng tribute to Jeremy as a fine man and soldier. May the Lord be with you during these difficult days. God Bless you!
My heart goes to the Johnson-Traul Family.
I learned of this tragic loss from a friend currently serving in Djibouti. He said he knew Jeremy and saw him often there. I pray for comfort and peace to strengthen your family. I am so sorry!
