Jeremy’s great love was spending time with his family and friends.  He cherished spending time at home with his fiancé and children. They liked cooking together, watching tv, and listening to good music. Some of his favorite tv shows were: Dateline, Jeopardy and America’s Funniest Home Videos. He enjoyed listening to old school Rap, Hip Hop and R&B. Jeremy loved blasting music throughout the house and having living room dance parties with his kids.

Jeremy was a lifelong Denver Broncos fan and looked forward to a new football season every year. Some of his most prized possessions include a framed poster of Invesco Field and a custom-made Broncos jersey with matching Orange Crush Nike’s from his brother-in-law.  His first job detailing cars at a local dealership, planted the seed for his love and interest in classic cars. He liked the Fast & Furious movies, spent weekends fixing up his Jeep, and drove RC cars with his father and sons. As a family tradition, he would take his boys to the Monster Truck Show every year. Their favorite truck is GraveDigger.

He enjoyed the summer and spending time outdoors. He liked having family barbeques, taking trips to the mountains, watching movies in the park, and going swimming with his kids. Some of his favorite places to go were Estes Park, Colorado and Lake McConaughey in Ogallala, Nebraska.  

Jeremy's favorite restaurant was the Armadillo, he would drive out to the last location in La Salle, just for the chips and salsa. He enjoyed the regular lunch dates that he shared here with his Mom.
