Jeremy was born April 21st 1974 in Washburn, WI. He grew up with a love for machines and speed which greatly influenced his chosen career path.

He was employed by Schlossmann Auto Group in Brookfield, WI at the time of his death.

Jeremy met and married the love of his life, Carly Elizabeth Stoakes of Davenport, Iowa, and with her, created his beautiful family of sons. He was an awesome father, nothing was more important to him than his wife and boys. His slightly-warped sense of humor and love for life made for a lot of fun and great adventures in their lives.
