I was very good friends with Jeremiah's mother for some years. I believe I may have met him once, but it has been a long time ago. I offer my sincerest condolences, thoughts, and prayers for all of Jeremiah's family. Many thanks to Jeremiah for his service for his country. Godspeed.

Once upon a time, a few young men enjoyed their time in Japan serving the United States Marine Corps.  Among those young men were myself and LCpl Puma.  We all had some great times working and playing.  Everyone who was anyone from a Private to the highest ranks knew Puma.  He was "that guy", the one anyone could talk to because he could talk to anyone.  Sometimes things happen in life that simply have no explanation.  This is one of those times.  Semper Fidelis brother and I will see you someday on the other side.

We served together as Color Sergeants for a good year, almost two. Dependable, energetic, fun, and ever open to personal discussions with the aim of listening and helping. I have many many photos, and videos of our time as the Color Sergeants, if the family would like, please make contact with me and I can make those memories available. I feel a great loss as his persona was very very very large and a joy to be around. I wish I had made myself more available after he had moved on from this military chapter, as I feel often upon ending this chapter, loss of support can be a shock. I miss ya buddy, and thank you for the moment's we shared shoulder to shoulder, and your memory and your endless compassion toward me and open ear will be remembered and will try my very best to spread what I learned from you to others. To the family, my heart goes out to you in this time of loss, but I hope you can see the good this man, son, father, Marine has passed on to us in life. By far this was one of the saddest times of my life when I found he has passed. Semper Fi buddy, miss you.  The link is a video of myself with the American flag, and at the time Sgt Puma as the Marine Corps Colors.  https://youtu.be/hhceHQHnArk

Dearest Sarah and family,
Sending my deepest condolences for your tragic loss. In my 8 years at Behavioral Health in Iwakuni Japa, he was without question one the most caring & compassionate Marines we had the pleasure to work with as a unit SACO (Substance Abuse Control Officer). He always went above and beyond for his Marines seeking help. He was an advocate for us---a "first-responder" to many who were otherwise too afraid to talk out of fear of being judged, or punished. He was the epitome of being the "go-to" guy, helping newly trained SACO's learn how to delicately engage these sensitive conversations.  I know he "saved" many from falling on their sword by providing them with guidance and hope. The universe knows, the former patients he touched knows, and now you know as well. His "gift" of being able to connect with those who are suffering will be missed tremendously. Sending you and your family prayers of white light and love.      Jeffrey Rowland, S. Korea

I had the pleasure of serving with Jeramiah.  He was an amazing man and Marine.  Always had a smile on his face, and what a joker.  If you were in a bad mood all you had to do was talk to him and your day would end in laughter. My deepest condolences to the family.  He will be missed. I know he will stand tall at the pearly gates. Semper Fi Marine!

Dearest Sarah and Family,

I was an instructor at NDI school when Jeremiah came through as a student. He left a lasting impression on me from then and one I carry with me to this day.

I would like to offer my deepest condolences for your families lose.  I was one of Jeremiah's NDI School Instructors down in Pensacola.  No matter what the situation, he always had a sme on his face. Laughing and cutting up making everyone's day a lot brighter. This world is a lesser place without him in it.
