Jeremy’s family and friends… I am so sorry for your loss. Jeremy was a neighbor of mine for about 5 years (this was awhile ago). He was always so helpful and enjoyed having random conversations with me for hours while enjoying the weather. My daughter use to love watching him leave and come home on his motorcycle.
My thoughts and prayers go to all of you during this time.

I had the pleasure to have Jeremy as a colleague of mine for the past few 25+ years @ Littfin Truss. Jeremy was an extremely highly skilled designer, that always gravitated towards the most complicated, most challenging and largest projects we could find. Jeremy attacked all these projects 150%, as he did with many of his other passions in life – (rc helicopters, motorcycles, most recently paramotor wing flying & others). He will be missed by many in the wood truss component industry. Jeremy, save me a “good” cup of coffee…………
On behalf of all of us @ Littfin – our sincerest condolences.

I am grateful that I was able to work with Jeremy, at Littfin Truss, since 2015. What a passionate man he was whether it was related to work or play, he always wanted others to learn from him. He will be truly missed.
