Our beloved Jeremy Lynn Whitcomb was an angel in waiting, loaned to us on this earth for a blessed 19 years, until it was time for the loan to be repaid. When the time had come for the collection to be made, we did not lose Jeremy, he has only returned home. He has made his final journey, only to be reunited on that Resurrection Day.
He has not only left behind his family, but also his abundance of friends - friends who he would do anything for, never saying no to anyone. Jeremy left this world while helping a friend in need, and wouldn't have had it any other way. To know how much he was loved and cherished was evident as the several hundred mourners waited patiently in line to pay their final respects.
Not only did he always have a permanent friendly smile, but he had a warm heart that was shared with everyone - a heart so big it required a large body to accommodate it.
Jeremy will be sadly missed by his loving family and caring friends, and will always be cherished in our hearts.
As the family, we would like to express a special thanks to all EMS personnel. We know you did your best, but the injuries were just too great. To all the ER personnel who worked avidly, to all law enforcement agencies, to the Crossville City Fire Department and the Cumberland County Fire Department for the special attention and respect shown along the funeral route, and for the moment of silence observed in honor of Jeremy. And to his "favorite" aunts, Angela, Katrina and Kristie - just know how much you were loved by Jeremy.
May God richly bless each one who sent flowers, cards or called or said a special prayer for us.
Survivors include his wife, Angel Ann Whitcomb; parents, Jim and Valerie Whitcomb; sister, Laura Whitcomb; brothers, J.C. Whitcomb and Shawn Whitcomb; grandmother, Wilma Burgess; great-grandmother, Ellen Guy; several aunts, uncles and nephews; and many friends.
He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Charles and Lila Whitcomb.
