My big brother...

Our beloved husband, son, father, and brother passed unexpectedly into the loving arms of his Heavenly Father October 1, 2011, two days short of his 27th birthday.

Jeremy was born in Fort Lewis, Washington on October 3, 1984, son of Scott and Dru Beecher.

While growing up he traveled to Arizona, Germany, California while his father served in the Army. They settled in Bountiful, Utah.

While living there, Jeremy met the love of his life, Rachel Leigh Woodruff. They were married January 28, 2006 in Layton, Utah. Together they had two beautiful children, Owen (Owen Boy) age six and Avery (Chicka Doo) age two.

Jeremy made friends wherever he went and was never judgmental of anyone. Jeremy loved all kinds of music, driving fast, the outdoors, four wheeling, and spending time with his family. He was creative, a fast learner, good with his hands, and loved to know how things worked.

He will be missed by his wife, Rachel and two children, Owen (6), Avery (2). Survived by his mother and father; Scott and Dru Beecher; Sisters, Jessica (Brian) Peck, Brittany (David) Snow, Ashley (Dylan) Miller, both sets of grandparents, and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends .

A viewing will be Tuesday evening from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. at Russon Brothers Bountiful Mortuary, 295 North Main and Wednesday morning before the service from 9:45 to 10:45 a.m. at the church for family and close friends. Interment will follow at the Brigham City Cemetery. An online guest book is available at http://www.russonmortuary.com/. In lieu of flowers an account has been set up for his children at America First Credit Union under Owen and Avery Beecher.



This is the letter I wrote to Jeremy for his funeral:




My wonderful big brother,
I miss you already, even though I didn’t see you that often. I wish that I did see you more often and that we hung out more. Now I’m going to regret it for the rest of my life.

Thank you for being a great example to me. Even though you didn’t know it, I really did look up to you.

You were always so kind to everyone you met. You had the greatest sense of humor and I always loved to laugh with you. You have brought so much joy to my life.

I am seriously going to miss you around the holidays, because you always loved to put up the Christmas lights outside and help us decorate the Christmas tree. That was your favorite.

You especially loved Rachel and the kids. You lit up when you were around them and you were the sweetest daddy.

Thank you for always coming to pick me up from high school, even though I was embarrassed when you came, because your bass was thumping everything! You used to tease your sisters a ton and you used to put our heads into your armpit and I always thought that was so gross! And your after school snack was always something mixed up that you found in the cupboards, like tuna fish and eggs or tuna fish with macaroni and cheese. When I played video games, you used to come and help me with the hard levels and always passed it on the first try.

I am going to miss the music that you played in your car or at home. On long drives camping or wherever, you always put on country songs and turned it up way loud and I loved it! I will forever think of you whenever Garth Brooks or Tim McGraw comes on the radio.

I am especially going to miss the “Hey Brit!” whenever I saw you. I loved it. And I am going to miss your contagious laugh and smile.

This isn’t goodbye, just a see you later, because I know that I will see you again! Jeremy, I love you so so much!! And it’s really good to know that you aren’t hurting anymore. Please watch over us always and know that we are missing you every second.

Love always,
Brittany
