I worked with Jeremy in Key West Florida in 2014. He was the life of the kitchen and his legendary commentary and ability to command the line will be remembered by us all. I remember a server coming into the kitchen and stating, “There’s little kids out there that are terrified listening to his screaming!” Only 2 cooks worked the lunch shift and he would rather get buried in orders than ever ask for help. One of my favorite co-workers of all time, may he reign supreme in Heaven.
I was a regular at the waffle in Monroe that Jeremy worked at and it was always a pleasure seeing Jeremy excited everyday at work. He was one of the most excited cooks I’ve ever met in my life and helped me give life to my food challenge ideas. I’m going to miss our long talks, funny jokes, and D&D games for hours at 2AM while we waited for customers.
I didn’t know the man for long but he taught me a lot in the little time I did. He trained me in January and February and always talked very high of my skills and my listening ability. His praise pushed me to do better and sadly he never got to see it but I was moved to supervisor and master go just a few days before he moved on.
This is the mother of Jeremy’s first wife, and grandmother to his daughter, Avalon. We all loved Jeremy and even though we haven’t seen him in several years, it’s very sad knowing that he is no longer with us.
I still see him standing over our stove cooking Italian food (of course) and saying, “You guys have real butter!?!?!”
He kept us laughing with his stories and entertained us with his beautiful, tenor voice. ( Only a man with true confidence in his masculinity can sing ABBA songs.)
We look forward to seeing you again, Jeremy. When you wake up, come find us. John 11:11-14.
