Jeremy was an avid basketball fan, he loved SU basketball, the Los Angeles Lakers were his team and Kobe Bryant was his idol.  During his free time, Jeremy enjoyed spending time at the family camp in Cape Vincent, golfing, and restoring his 1997 Jeep Wrangler.  Jeremy lived on coffee and always looked forward to spending Labor Day week with his family in Old Forge, NY.
