I am sitting here in shock. Jeremy was a person who, just by walking in a room, could light it up. He was a person who was nice to everyone. I remember seeing him wrestling in school and thinking "hey, this kid could make it, he could BE somebody!". It seemed like he excelled in everything he did. I saw Rachelle and the girls a few years ago, and I have to say those little girls are some of the cutest kids I have ever seen! My thoughts go out to Jeremy's friends and family.. Sonya Omans-Lane and Family

I didn't read it until Saturday that Jeremy had died. I don't have any idea what happened but want to send my condolences to his family. I got to spend a lot of time with Jeremy when he was in high school. I got to see him 8-10 months ago...I was glad to see that he was still the same type of guy. I deeply regret not knowing about his funeral and want the family to know that my prayers are with them all. I was also able to get to know Justin. Jordan I never really knew, except through the newspaper reading about his wrestling triumphs. To both of you: the man I knew in you brother is a great example for all of us to follow. I am so very sorry for your loss. Ken Plath Carson City

Jeremy was like another big brother to me. He would teach me more and more in everything, even wrestling. Jeremy had always come over and play games with me. If I had any sort of problem from someone being mean to someone trying to hurt me, he would always fix that with me. Man I love you and I will always think about you.

We got to see Jeremy wrestle this past freestyle season in the state finals, and finally saw proof of what everyone had told us about him. The man could really put on a show on the wrestling mat, and taught many kids, and adults alot of slick tricks in the wrestling room. He was a great guy who always seemed to have a smile on his face no matter what was happening. Heaven must be running low on national champs. Our deepest condolences to his entire family and friends.

I wrestled with Jeremy and had great chance to get to know he and his family. He was a great wrestler, and it sounds as though turned into a great man. My father would be devastated by this news had he still been around, but maybe he and Jeremy will meet up in heaven and talk some wrestling. My heart goes out to The Miller family. God bless

Jeremy was a great teacher of the sport of wrestling. Always encouraging his wrestlers to work hard and give their best efforts win or lose. I met Jeremy at Team Michigan camp in 2000. He was a funny guy that could always make you laugh. We the wrestling community will miss him.

I met Jeremy through wrestling and we became great friends both in and out of the sport. His family became my extended family and we have all stayed close since my childhood. Jeremy was one of my very good friends and we had spent tons of time wrestling, playing tennis, hanging out, and many many other things. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

There aren't enough words to express how sorry we are to hear of your great loss. Losing a child is just beyond our imagination. Take comfort in the great memories you have of Jeremy and the knowledge that he was a very special young man and will be missed by many. We have so many great memories of youth soccer and summer baseball. Jeremy was a big part of all the teams that Randy coached, not to mention a superior player and a role model for the rest of the team. Megan always considered Jeremy one of her good friends. He always had a quick smile and a friendly word. Both Garrett and Megan wish to send their condelences as well. Time will never fill the void left in your life, but the joy from the memories you have of Jeremy will help to ease the pain. Randy & DeAnna Coffin

Jeremy Miller was the best friend I ever had. He taught me more life lessons in the way he lived than can be imaginable.

You will always be remembered.
