Jeremy graduated from VUHS in 1999 and entered the USMC from 2000-2004.  He was currently working for Goose Creek Construction.  His passion, second to his boys, was fishing.  He won the Jr. Fishing Derby Championship at the age of 5 and again at 16.  He loved fishing at the Vergennes Falls and would grab his tackle box and fishpole as soon as he got home on leave.  He was an amazing pool player and loved playing in his grandparent’s basement with his cousins, Justin and Adam Haight.  He also enjoyed playing golf with his friends.  He is a member American Legion Post #14.  Jeremy had a huge heart and apparently could smoke anybody off the dance floor.  He will be greatly missed by everyone but especially by his boys who he spent most of his free time with.
