    " I've known Jeremy since he and I dated back in January of 1990. He was my best friend, and he often told me were soulmates who weren't lovers anymore. I don't believe Jeremy was trying to steal drugs, I think he was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and was probably being Jeremy and trying to diffuse a tense situation that went horribly wrong. He was a sweet gentle soul who didn't deserve to die the way he did. His free spirited nature will live forever in my memories and stories! "

    " I do have to say that my thoughts and prayers go to Jeremy and his family. I have recently found that what had happened and I am hurt to know that I have lost a great friend and brother to my soul. For those of you that did not know, or did not care to know him. he was someone that was always there to help, always willing to give a kind word and he WILL be missed. I say these things with an open heart, I can say these things with all honesty in my heart. I knew himsince1991, "

    " I met Jeremy about 18 years ago at an SCA recruitment drive. I was drawn to his enthusiasim and his wonderfull smile. We became friends over the years and I included him as part of my family in and out of the SCA. I will miss him greatly. God bless you Jeremy and comfort your family. "

    " To the Ewing family. I remember meeting Jeremy when Manna School and Valley got together for a rollerskating outing. He and I were very close when we were kids. I wish we could be there for the service, but you are in my prayers especially Jeremy's grandmother at this time of loss. Take care and God bless. "

    " I personaly think the talk of mental illness and the fact that he was homeless is a cover up...I feel bad for the family...but I also know the drug dealing needs to stop. the good part is Wasilla will get a homeless shelter out of all of this the sad part is no one cared about the others out there who are sick and have no place to go..Untill this happened. He was not homeless at the time he did have a place to stay.. but what does that have to do with trying to rob someone for drugs. "

    " I knew Jeremy through my sister, Jeanne, and enjoyed being around him. She Loved him dearly, truly, and completely. Through her Loving him, I saw a man that a lot of others didn't see, and I am blessed to have known him.

    There are so many things I want to say, and I also know that nothing can make it any better, nor take the pain away.

    My mom and I will be there Saturday, and it will be an honor to meet his family.

    Blessings to all of you. "

    " Mark and Family,
    I can't tell you how sad it makes me feel to know that Jeremy( known to me as "Brock Galbraga" in the SCA) has left this world so young, and in such a violent way. I do believe he is in a better place, however, I know I will miss seeing him at the events. He was so sweet to me, & made me laugh. We had a lot in common that is probably why we got along so great.
    A parent should never have to bury a child no matter how old they are. "
