“Forever Loved, Never Forgotten”

The Navy Gold Star Program is eternally grateful for the sacrifice of those Service Members who have died in service to our country. To help us to never forget, we have set up this tribute page to honor and remember the memory of those lives. If you would like to honor the memory of your Sailor, Soldier, Marine, Airman or Coast Guardsman through the Navy Gold Star website please submit your thoughts and a photo.

Jeremy was one of the most loyal, protective, generous, and fun people I’ve ever known. His dedication to serving his country and always making others feel welcomed and supported was not lost on anyone. Jeremy was always thinking of others, and it was no surprise that he joined the service. He was just as dedicated to his military family as he was to his own. Jeremy served on many submarines, receiving several awards for his service. He married Torrey on November 18th, 2016, and they welcomed a beautiful baby girl, Hayden Olivia, on December 26th, 2022; Hayden and Torrey were Jeremy’s whole world, and he was a devoted and loving father and husband. In his spare time, Jeremy loved spending time with his family, composing and recording music, working out, and reading. Jeremy was laid to rest with full military honors at Middle Tennessee State Veterans Cemetery.
