This is Jeremy with his loving wife Robbie. I am quite sad to hear that Jeremy passed away.  May his family find peace and comfort in his sweet memories.

Amy, if you're going to initiate a card shower for this dear friend I thought you might want to note that his wife, Roberta, went by Robbi (without an 'e' at the end).   You may also want to have someone post the information who doesn't have hundreds of people blocked so everyone who watched his story unfold can participate.   Perhaps an OH staff member could post the information so everyone sees it. I hope that Robbi and the rest of Jeremy's family take comfort in the fact that Jeremy lived his life to the fullest as best he could.  He never let any of the cir****tances of his attempt for a better life get him down.  He perserved throughout it all.  Rest in sweet peace, Jeremy.

Amy, Thank you for letting us know.  This is so sad that he died.  My prayers are with his wife.

In ways big and small, Jermemy's life changed our world and left it a better place, and touched too many hearts to ever be forgotten.   Robbi, may you find comfort in knowing how many people share your sadness. Terri

How very tragic.  He fought such a good fight.  God Bless Robbi and their family and friends.  Jeremy made a lasting impact on our OH community and will never be forgotten.  This young couple had the most amazing love and devotion for one another.  Robbi, know that we are all sharing in your loss.  Your angel Jeremy will forever watch over you.  God bless.

Amy,   Thanks for the re-post. Roberta told us all on Myspace yesterday. I was heartbroken. I've only known him like 6 months, but I'm grateful for the time I did have getting to know this amazing young man. I wrote a poem in his memory and sent it to Robbi. Thought I'd share it with those who didn't get the chance to know him. There’s a superhero in heaven And Jeremy is his name, For he captured our hearts at the speed of light, And left not one of us the same. Ensnaring dreams and hopes, within a web, He shared them all, with his strong heart. For his life shone bright, so brilliantly penned As God’s finest work of art. His power came from a priceless soul, That gained such might, the more he gave. We were but sidekicks in his beautiful world, And because he loved us, we were saved. Free from his earthly boundaries, As an angel, he now flies high. At God’s right hand, he’s free at last, To guide us from the sky. And this angel wields an inked tattoo, To remind each one of us, his role within this game. For he’s our superhero in heaven, And Jeremy is his name.                      -Wendy L. Kohlhoff 2007

I didn't know Jeremy bu****ched his youtube videos.  He was obviously a very caring and special soul.  May our Lord bless and give His Peace to his beloved wife and family. Heaven has a special Angel for Christmas. God Bless. Lori

That's so sweet Lori, I wish you could have known him. Wendy
