I first met Jeremy in our community around 2015 after he came into my office. We both realized that we served together in 2/7. I was in 2/7 Comm Platoon from Dec 1997 - Dec 2001. Jeremy came to 2/7 in the early part of 2001. We had a good laugh and trip down 2/7 memory lane that day. Ever since I met Jeremy, I always admired his outlook on life. His smile was contagious, his hugs were infectious. I am honored to have known Jeremy as a family man, a friend, a collaborative Veteran advocate, and a brother in arms. I am honored to have walked in the same path alongside him in service to our Nation with the US Marine Corps. Someday, I will meet him again and protect the gates above together. I know he is protecting all of us right now with that big, gentle hug. I am at a loss ...
Semper Fi Jeremy.
Semper Fi Jeremy.

Jeremy was always kind to me and a fun person. He never spoke unkindly of anyone and supported his friends. Semper Fi fellow Devil Dog. The world has lost a good one.

I really only had a handful of encounters with Jeremy, but I immediately felt like he was one of my buddies. He was an impactful person. He brought a sense of security, comfort and joy where ever he went. I loved seeing him and Jake come in to the Tackle Box. He was never sour, never angry, nothing but happiness and the always with the biggest smile. He didn’t always have a lot to say, but some things he shared were about his love for his family. He described his daughter as tough, a badass. She doesn’t tolerate much and is sassy and fierce, but he loved every bit of it. He described his son Dane as the sweet child. The soft soul. He showed so much pride as he described his babies. Working in a bar, things can get out of hand - Jeremy let me know he had my back without ever having to say anything. He was a natural protector and so loyal to his friends and family. I always admired and respected him. He’s been taken from his family and friends far too soon, but as we know, the Lord calls us home on His time. My heart goes out to his entire family, his friends, his brotherhood and particularly his wife and babies. He truly was one of the best men I’ve ever had the fortune of meeting. Cheers, friend, and Rest in Peace. You’ll forever be missed.

Jeremy was a friend unlike any other. He was loyal, steadfast, and true to his word. Our bond was forged through shared miles, deep conversations, and a brotherhood that needed no words. He had a way of bringing people together, making every moment one to remember. His absence is deeply felt, but his spirit rides on, free and unbound. The road ahead won’t be the same without him, but his memory will always be with me. Ride free, brother. You will never be forgotten…

Jeremy was my second Nephew. He was a precious baby that had to suffer with Exema on his little body. But he was not a cry baby. I know Exema is very itchy and painful. He was so fun to watch grow up. He looked so much love like his Dad my Brother Steven. He grew up into a fine man close to God. He served his Country valiantly. He was so loving. There was never a time that he saw me that he didn't come over and give me a hug and kiss.. I love him Immensely. It hurts so badly that he is gone so young. And that he left a lovely family behind. And my heart is broken for Debbie. To lose my Brother Steven and her Son in the same way and so close in days apart in timing. Must be so horrible!!, I love Chris, Tiffany and Jake and their families. I can't imagine how this must be for you. My heart is broken in so many pieces and will be for a very long time. I will always pray for Jeremy and his entire family. Live Auntie Nanny ❤️

I met Jeremey while a part of the LifeTeen ministry at St John’s Church doing prayer meetings at his folks’ house. Steve and Debbie always made us feel like part of the family and Jeremey and I shared a lot of late laughs making skits and videos for retreats & meetings, car rides, and late night conversations. I saw what a hard worker he was when helped re-roof a friends house. I was so proud when he decided to serve his country in the USMC and was impressed with his resilience when he returned home. I was so happy for him when he found love with Naomi and even though we haven’t gotten to hang out due to adult responsibilities he always had one of those trademark smiles for me when I would see him at Mass. Miss you, brother. Rest in Peace

I was Jeremy's section leader when he first arrived to Echo Co at 29 palms. I remember thinking this is a big guy he can carry the machine gun around all day. In a leadership position I knew the importance of ensuring my Marines were well trained and passing down the knowledge I had as a machine gunner. Jeremy was always squared away and a great Marine. When it was time for me to exit the Marines corps after 4 years I felt confident in passing on the section to Jeremy as he deployed to Iraq. I was fortunate enough to see him again a few years ago along with others from Echo Co at 29 palms after a very long time. I would like to extend my condolences to the Rosales family, my Jeremy Rest in Peace. Semper Fi.
