Jeremy was born in the Newport Naval Hospital on January 29, 1985.  He was raised in Little Compton, attended Wilbur McMahon school and graduated from Middletown High School in 2003.

Jeremy often worked as a line cook where he developed his love and knowledge of cooking, surpassing his childhood specialty of salami and cheese in the microwave.  Jeremy’s former bosses called on several occasions after Jeremy moved back to Rhode Island offering him advanced positions if he would return, demonstrating  Jeremy’s work ethic and  character.

Jeremy had a small group of friends he cherished and who loved him but he was well known and loved by many.  The impression that he left upon people he met is evident in the outpouring of love from those he touched with his gentle spirit still.  Jeremy is still receiving message and comments  on his Facebook page with friend requests from those he knew, wanting to say goodbye to him and provide words of comfort to his family.

Jeremy awaits the company of his mother and father, Mary and Robert Harvey; his five brothers, sisters and sister-in-law, Fred, Raymond, Andrew, Brittany, Rebecca and Amanda; several nieces and nephews, Sharon, Charlotte, Philip, Julie, Tylen, Chace, Rilyn and Cameron; several aunts and uncles and numerous cousins.

]The family held a private viewing for Jeremy’s immediate family and his aunts and uncles on Sunday Jan. 26, at Auclair Funeral Home in Fall River.  A memorial service for his extended family and family friends will be held in his honor culminating in a cookout, which Jeremy loved and often cooked, this spring to celebrate his life.

Jeremy will be cremated and his ashes will be spread by his family in future travels to honor his love of travel and his adventurous spirit.
