I am so sorry to hear of this horrible loss. He was such a great person. I met him through Walmart and have known him for almost 6 years. He was always so talkative and such “people person”. He loved Kim with all of his heart and my heart goes out to her. I had some great times with you, Jer. You were too young to go but God has other plans for you. Tell Blando I said Hello and that I love him. To his family, you brought up such a great person, he was soooo nice and understanding and on top of that a great worker. God Bless you and my prayers are with you all.
Jeremy “ZERO” was a wonderful person and great friend. He will always have a special place in our hearts. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and wife. We love you ZERO!

The best people always seem to leave us too soon! I’ll miss you Jeremy!! Sincerely, Mandy Merico

Kimmy– I am so sorry! Jeremy was a great guy that made friends everywhere. He will be missed by all that knew him. I will always be “his little mexican”!!! Smile because he wouldn’t want you to be sad and know that i’m always a phone call away.
Kimmy, I am so sorry. It breaks my heart to have to see you in pain. You, I,and everyone else know what a caring and noble guy Jeremy was. He will be missed by all of us dearly. Please let me know if I can do anything for you, and please call if you need anything. Even if it is the middle of the night and you just need to talk. We all love you and him and we will miss him everyday.

Kim My thoughts and prayers are with you through these hard times. I didn’t know him but it sounds like he was a very great guy. I didn’t find out until last night that this was your husband. I heard about the accident when it happened but then that was all I heard after that. I am thinking of you and his family.
Dear Ash Family, My prayers are with you all! I went to school with Jeremy and I am sorry for your loss. I know exactly what your going through my uncle andy died the same exact way and it was very hard to get over. Hopefully time will give you some peace! my sympathy goes out to you all, Georgia and family
To the Ash Family, May god be with you in your time of need. Take care. My prayers are with you all. God Bless Lisa
To the Ash family We are very sorry about your loss and you are in our prayers. We both knew of Jeremy and he will be missed deeply by everyone who knew him.
To Jeremys beloved Kim, family & to his many friends along the journey. I am so, so sorry for your loss. No words can ever ease such deep and heartfelt sorrow. I’ve read that good-byes are never easy and will always hurt, pictures will never replace having been there, memories good and bad will bring tears, and words can never replace feelings. Jeremy was a unique and rare soul who by his thoughful and giving nature continues to be a shinning light by touching the hearts of others. Kahlil Gibran once said “Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.” but I’d like to believe that love is that thread which eternally binds us and I feel truly blessed to have known Jeremy. Jeremy, watch over Kim & keep the dogs awary from Lucy. … you’ll be missed.
Ive been sitting here trying to think of how i can even put into words all that Jeremy means to me. Not only is he the husband of my best friend but also a true and dear friend who has impacted my life in so many ways as well impacted the life of so many others. He is the definition of love- true and unconditional, never spiteful and he surrounded himself with those who he truely loved. To me, Jeremy and all he was and did is the greatest example of how everyone should live their life. I cant tell you a time over the last 5 years that i had ever seen him with a frown on his face, he DID what he enjoyed most and was always such a fun person to be with and i cant recall he had ever had anything bad to say about anyone (unless you had hurt him or his family and rightfully so). He sure did love and adore his Kimmy as well as loved his family who i was blessed to finally meat after all these years-not under the best circumstances but still glad to have met them because i see Jeremy in each and everyone of them. I can only pray that God continue to be with all of us through this time of sorrow and lose. To though’s who were not lucky enough to have met Jeremy please just know that God truly could not have created a better person and that he is and will continue to be missed by many but will NEVER be forgotten.

I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that you are in my thoughts.
From Judy Ash, Jeremy’s mom, Thank all of you for all the beautiful words you have sent to our family. It is a comfort to read these because Jeremy was so loved. Everyone wants to know how is the family doing? Well, not so good because Jeremy was so wonderful and it is hard not to be able to see his face or hear his voice. But, the family feels that Jeremy is sending us little signs of love. Weird things without any possible explanations has happended. Davey’s cell phone keeps changing time, Annette’s phone, Jeremy’s Mother-in-law, is having her phone ring with jeremy’s name and number coming up, but phone was shut off 1 week after accident, daddy’s cell phone turns on and chimes displaying, unknown, dad took shower and on bathroom mirror, this appeared, i love you. Now heres the best. Mom was home, the phone didn’t ring but I noticed voice mail come up on my phone. I said, nobody called. I went to voice mail, and Jeremy lift message saying, Love you. Family is in agreement, it is Jeremy’s voice. All said, we are all desperatly missing him, mouring him, but so thankful to have had him for who he was, the little helper to everyone, always with a smile. Please keep in contact with Kim and family. We need all of his friends. We have so many blessing in life, Kids, Grandkids, so we have to go on and love all of them, and love Jeremy too. God Bless Each of You, Love Mommy
TO THE ASH FAMILY, I AM SO SORRY ABOUT THE LOSS..JEREMY WAS AMAZING PERSON AND SO KIND..HE WILL BE MISSED…JEREMY IS IN YOUR HEART AND HE IS WATCHING OVER THE FAMILY..
Dear Judy & family, My heart goes out to you and your family for the loss of your son, Jeremy. Thank you for signing our son, Nathan Pulice, guest book and sharing your sympathy with us. As you know, there is no greater pain than that of losing a child. My only consolation is that our sons are with God and He gave them to us as a gift for a short time and then He had other plans for them. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. I know somehow God will see us through all of our grief and someday we will see our sons again. May God Bless you and your family. Kim Uram (304)723-2100
February 25, 2009 Just another thank you to all whom are still responding here and by cards. It has almost been 4 months since the accident, seems like yesterday, but, also like forever since I saw Jeremy’s face. His birthday was 2 days ago. We tried to celebrate it happily. Family and riends went bowling, got together at Daveys and had pizza. Then, some went to Tommys. We even had birthday cake, but mom left the room. We still get through each day, missing and loving Jeremy. Please keep the prayers for our family. Thank God for giving him to us for 30 years. Sincerely, Judy Ash, mom
From Judy Ash, Jeremy’s mom, The family and friends made it through another series of holidays without Jeremy. It has been 1 year, 1 month and 20 days since we lost him. There is still many tears from all of us. All of us still feel him with us. For Christmas, Kim and I made shadow boxes for his dad and siblings. Each was special. Seems like only yesterday that he would open our door and say, “Hey mom, whats for dinner!” We now have to live with our wonderful memories of him, but this is not enough, we want him back! Please keep praying for our family because we are still grieving for our Jeremy. Thank you for visiting his memorial. Keep looking for his 433 stickers around town! Sincerely, Judy Ash
To all whom still visit, Thank you once again for being here. We celebrated Jeremy’s 32nd birthday on Tuesday. All of us were there, children sending balloons to heaven to Jeremy, and then bowling.

He is so loved! Mommy
