We went through our officer training together and served on our class event planning committee's together. He was an inspiration there as well. Even in a group of Alpha personalities, his words were always respected and his advice was always sought after. He was in charge of putting together our class video. He did a phenomenal job. He brought is camera everywhere. It wasn't a small camera, either. He brought that monster to class training exercises, on ruck marches, to the obstacle courses, and on long morning runs where he would run back and forth along the column filming. Literally running circles around us. For every six miles we ran, he must've done eight. He conducted interviews with classmates and put together a phenomenal video. His manner of talking to people was amazing to watch. He never raised his voice, but everyone heard what he had to say. Though the extent of our relationship has been limited to facebook for the past two years, I feel the pain of his loss and hope everyone knows just how exceptional of a man, Soldier, and officer he was.

Thank you for writing and posting this column. I can see we both have a lot of the same memories. My heart is broken and the world of journalism has lost an inspiration. I learned so much from him as a writer for The Interrobang. He will be missed. Great article Zach. Thank you for writing and posting this column. I can see we both have a lot of the same memories.

I couldn't imagine anyone raising up a finer gentleman and dedicated warrior. He does honor to his father, family and his Grandfather Harry, in who's footsteps I know he will follow from here on to eternity. May his family be comforted and his memory be counted among the greatest examples of leadership and dedication to duty. Jeremy was my favorite cousin Rodney’s son.
