Jeremy Sus

The definition of a larger-than-life personality, Jeremy carried himself in a way that only Jeremy could. Laughter followed him wherever he went. Always one for a quick joke, Jeremy could always take it, as well as dish it out. To say Jeremy had passions in his life would be an understatement as he had more hobbies than he could count. He collected baseball cards, collected comic books, enjoyed cooking, writing, brewing his own beer, traveling, fishing, and going on numerous adventures. Enjoying these hobbies was not just something he did, they were an opportunity to research into the depths of something to become an expert before even taking the first step. It was something to share with those he had closest to him (whether they wanted to be involved or not). Surely, everyone who loved Jeremy knew more about baseball than they cared to know because of Jeremy.

His professional career gave him opportunities to form lifelong bonds with those he worked with whether it was as a Subway sandwich artist or as a parts manager at Continental Motorsports AutoGroup. His love of cars was apparent in the pride he took working with high end in cars at Ferrari dealership. Nothing more than his beloved PT Cruiser. His cars, including his Chrysler 300 and Dodge Challenger RT Hemi, and lasting bond with car club named SLEEPS.

Although his career allowed him to spread joy to those around him, nothing brought him more joy than being a dad. Time spent with Namora was an excuse to laugh and love (as if he needed one). He shared his knowledge of baseball and comics with her from a young age and was always thinking of new ways that they could bond. Ordering and taste testing various foods from different countries allowed them to create memories that Namora will take with her. Above all, Jeremy will be remembered by those who knew him as someone who loved to make memories. His lust for life and laughter will be carried on by all those who knew him. He will be deeply missed.
