Jeremy grew up in Bloomfield, Connecticut where he attended elementary and high school, and graduated from Wagner College on Staten Island, New York with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English. He had a serious passion for music and was known, particularly in high school and college, for his participation and contributions playing the piano and singing.
Jeremy moved to San Francisco and continued working in the hospitality industry. In the Castro and on Pier 39, he was affectionately known as "Wonder Waiter" for always giving excellent service as a bartender and restaurant/catering waiter. He will be missed and loved always, as we are grateful for his life. God bless and keep Jeremy, His loving and obedient son.

The Repast was hosted by Troy Brunet at his home in Duboce Triangle near the Castro. Thank you to everyone who took part in the celebration of life. Rest in peace.
