God Jeremy I miss you so much and still can't believe that you are gone or that I will not see you again until it is my time to go home. I miss your brotherly advice (even though I never wanted to hear it when you gave it) I miss how you could make me smile so easily when I was having a bad day but most of all I miss you being the best uncle ever to Bryston. I get so sad when I look at Bry and see how much he is growing and knowing that you arent here to see him and how much his looks are fading from yours. He is growing up so fast but still remembers every minute he spent with you. He loves you so much and wants to grow up to be a soldier just like you. To be honest that scares the shit out of me. Dont get me wrong I really do hope that he turns into the man that you were and always will be but the whole soldier thing scares me. I dont know what I would do if anything ever happens to him. I would be completely lost just like I am without you but I'm sure it would be a lot worse. I dont know what to do when I think of going the rest of my life without you in it. We were always so close and I always thought you would always be here for me. I am so proud of you and always will be. You are my Hero no matter what you say. I cant help but relive our last conversation when you were trying to give me your "brotherly advice" and I just yelled at you and didnt want to hear it. I live with that regret everyday and how I never told you thank you for protecting us or how very proud of you I was. I love you with all of my heart and miss you terribly.
We all miss you very much! This time of year for me is hard when I watch football and my Packer's lose. I get no phone calls from my Brother you I love and miss very much. Wish you were here to watch the Monday night game Packer's & the Vicking's.
My Whole World Changed In An Instant / Debbie Grove (Mother)
Jeremy
The day you were taken from us changed my whole life. I lived for my kids I wanted you and Cammie to be happy and watch you mature through the years. You matured and turned into the man I dreamed you to be. You grew up so fast and the ARMY had a lot to do with that. They turned into the man you are today unfortunately they took you away from me in the prime of your life. I wanted to see you with your children and I know you would have been the best father I know you wanted 5 or 6 kids and I know you would have had one or two like you. I miss you more than words can say there are days when I think of you while I'm driving to work and then don't remember driving to work. We went to a 911 retreat this past weekend and it was so personalized to each of Marylands fallen soldiers families that attended. There were 7 families there and they talked about each soldier and their life and how they lived and how they died. I was doing really well until they played TAPS and then I totally lost it. They gave us a token of your service and they presented Bryston with a coin his eyes lit up when the General gave it to him. Jeremy I am so proud of you and all you became I know in my heart you died doing what you loved but sometimes I wish you would have gotten out when you had the chance but I know now why you didn't. I love you and miss you and I can't wait till I see you again in Heaven Take care son and watch over all of us as you have been and especially Bryston as he looks up to you and talks about you daily
It's been awhile since I have written anything 4 years ago today you were taken away from all of the ones that you love. Today is a VERY hard day for everyone you knew & loved. I know just like everyone else I dread this day every year. My Heart is filled with sadness & I miss you more than any words could ever express. Every year as this day rolls around it seems like it was just yesterday that we lost you. As I sit here every year putting my thoughts & feelings into a note for you I relive the day that we got news of your passingIt's been four years & I can see it in my mind just like it was yesterday..
I've met alot of people in this life & I always hear the same thing spoken when someone speaks of losing someone so close to them. "Time Heals Pain And With Time Things Will Become Easier" Time Heals Pain? Whoever said that lied. Time Doesn't heal pain. At least not to those who love you & miss you dearly. I often ask those people who speak of time healing pain "Have you lost someone close to you that time has healed that pain?" 9 times out of 10 their answer is no and I respond "Then how can you stand here and say time heals pain if you've never experienced the pain of losing someone who was very close to you?"...& again they have no answer because they don't know what it's like The Pain The Sadness The Hurt The Tears The Heartbreak of losing someone who meant so much in your life that you would do anything in your power to walk up the stairs of heaven and bring them back again if you could?? & who you always thought would be there no matter what.
It's been 4 long years since you were taken from us and not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Weather it's a song on the radio a memory that crosses my mind alot of things remind me of you....I Miss You Like Hell Man...
I came across Nathan Bouchard's my space online the other day. His last login date is 8/17/05 I never met Nathan. But I cannot express the sadness I felt looking at his page. Seeing the last login date as the day before YouHim Tim & Ray were taken from this world. There's a few pictures on there that he uploaded from Iraq there's one of him standing in front of the canal with the sun rising in the background. It's an amazing picture....& It speaks a thousand words... I wondered who took it??...
I've gotten the chance to speak to your Mom in e-mails lately. She's such an amazing woman with a heart of gold. I pray for her everyday. She misses you so much!..I Know you are watching over her & all of the ones that you love. You see her pain & you hear her prayers to heaven for you. Please continue to watch over her & give her strength. She's a very sweet woman & she misses you so much! I am beyond thankful that she has put her heart & love into making this beautiful website in your memory. I will continue to keep in touch with her & be there for her as I know that you would want me to be. As I have told your mom I will never let your memory fade away & I will always tell the story of our brave soldier who fought for his country and gave his life for all of us to remain free. I will always visit your website & light candles & let you know just how much you are loved & missed by so many.
You left an imprint in everyone's lives that you met. There's not another out there like you and there never will be. You were one in a million & I am beyond thankful that I got to be your friend & got to be apart of your life & you apart of mine. I will always cherish the years of friendship that we had & I will carry with me my memories of you for all of my life I promise that I will never let my memories of you fade away. Sometimes I still hear your laugh & I know that's you reminding me to never let that laugh fade away... How could I? It's so unique. :)
So on this day 8-18-09. Four years ago today you were taken from this earth & all those who love you. I am filled with sadness. I miss you man more than any words could ever express & I really really wish like hell that you were still here although I cannot see you. I do know that you are there. You continue to watch over all of us & keep us safe.
I Know that I will see you again someday & Until then I'm gonna keep your memory alive. You Live within every LifeMindHeart & Person You Ever MetSuch an awesome guy who's life was cut way way too shortheaven needed soldier angels so they called You Nathan Tim & Ray Home...Keep Watch over us all boys. You all four are missed very dearly by all those who love you. I'm glad your up there together. Try not to cause too much trouble okay? :)
I LOVE YOU BUDDY!! & I MISS YOU VERY MUCH!!! But you already know that.

Thinking of you / Peggy Summers (grandmother)
Hi Jeremy, I've been thinking of you alot and last night I watched the video of you on the border of Iraq waiting for the order to go across into Iraq. You looked so young, I think that you were only 20, already a Sargent, you seemed so brave and I want to tell you again how proud of you I was and still am. I am so thankful for that video, so I will always be able to see you and hear your voice. Next month it will be 4 years since you were taken from us, some times it seems like it was only yesterday and other times it seems like much longer. No matter how long you'll always be in all of our thoughts. Love, Grandma
So, we're leaving for vacation in a couple of days. We're taking the kids down to FL to go to Disney World for two days, then we're heading over to the beach near Daytona. During all the hectic planning, I can't help but remember when you went to FL with us back in 1999. Remember- I was engaged to Matt, and we drove my little Hundai down, following Mom and John. You and Matt teased me when I fell asleep in the car with my mouth open- and thought it was the funniest thing!
I remember taking that tour boat trip out to some ruins, where we got lost on this little island and ended up finding that huge tortoise- 'Tom the Turtle'. It was so much fun! Here you are leading the way:
Then, you and Matt went parasailing! Matt wanted me to go - but I was too chicken. How like you to not be afraid - but instead adventurous! Remember the crazy seagulls?! We were trying to throw them bread on the last day, but they kept swooping down and practically taking the bread out of our hands! Freaky!
I LOVE these memories! And now, while I'm down there with my family- on the last day when we're letting the kids throw bread crumbs to the birds, I'll think of you. When I see someone parasailing like a crazy person, I'll think of you! And any other time when something random reminds me of you, it pulls on my heart-strings because I begin getting sad in missing you, but my memories are happy, and I know you are too.
Anyway. =) Could you keep a watchful, protective eye on us while we're driving there and back?
Missing you,
Dana
(PS: I wish I could find some of my other pictures of you from this trip- but I lended them out to be used at the slideshow at your funeral. If anyone has them, I'd love to get them back, please.)

Everytime i drive by our houses on tucson dr. i cant help but 2 remember all da memories we had there. We always had our moms on there toes with us. Had some of the best times in my life with. we laughed we cryed together seen each other through death of logan. u were always there. People would always ask...whos your hero or role model? when we were kids it was... MJ BABY! Micheal Jordan now i say... Jeremey Doyle. I hope my son turns into a man like you. Id be so proud of him as we all are of you. I love you very much n miss u like crazy. Close
It's Memorial day and I paid tribute to my hero today. It was a beautiful ceremony and we had a great turn out. People that knew you and some that have never had the opportunity to meet you paid tribute to you today. We released balloons today and we released a white dove for every year you have been away from us. It was the most beautiful thing. Elsie, a good friend of mine had lost her son the year before I lost you. She had a group of soldiers from her son's platoon that drove here from Ohio, and we had our very own ceremony. I know you were there, I felt your presence and I was okay. There were alot of tears shed today but they were good tears and some sad tears but all in all it was a georgeous day. I love you and I miss you so terribly bad but I know you are watching over me. Take Care and I will talk to you again soon.
Thinking of you / Melanie Rumschlag (friend)
Hey Jeremy, just wanted to let you know that I've been thinking of you often lately. I know it's been a while since I've been on here, but I do think of you often, especially around Memorial day. You are a hero to me, and there are not enough words for me to thank you for your ultimate sacrifice. THANK YOU! When we found out we were coming to Knox, Andy & I promised ourselves to make a trip up to IN, needless to say it's been 3 yrs and we have yet to make it up. Hard to believe Andy's on the trail, almost done & looking to go Green to Gold, we should have a definite answer in the coming weeks. Please keep an eye on him for me. I'm sitting here thinking about when I told you Andy & I were expecting, you just laughed and told me "I hope he doesn't end up looking like Rummy." Well....thanks I have 2 mini-Rummys. I wouldn't change it for anything.
Miss Ya Lots!! & Love You Bunches!! / Tina Lethig (Good Friend )
Doyle,
I just wanted to stop in and tell you HI! & How much you are loved & missed by so many...
My computer crashed or else i'd still be lighting candles everyday faithfully. I made a promise a few years ago, that I would come and light a candle & or visit the site everyday. It has become a comfort to read the beautiful words others write about you. And to look at all the pictures!!
It seems that some people that have been visiting your memorial website lately. Have forgotten that it is YOUR SITE and IN MEMORY OF YOU!. It is with hope that the childish ways of some people will stop soon. I think it's past time that some grow up and stop posting such nasty comments and candles,It is HURTFUL & IT SADDENS ME WHEN PEOPLE STOOP TO SUCH LEVELS TO GAIN ATTENTION....I agree with many of the other visitors who come to share memories & stories or to just speak with you or to light a candle.... THIS IS YOUR MEMORIAL PAGE & the Bickering and Childish ways need to stop. It is very disrespectful to behave in such a negative way.
I Miss You Alot Doyle! & I like so many others wish you were still here,Although we can no longer see you. I know that you are there. The pain is still there and always will be. Words can not express the sadness or the pain. I thank god for the many years of friendship that we have.
I also wanted to write and thank you for the dreams. I've had a few of them. Some say dreams aren't always how they seem. But I know in my heart,mine have been. So Thank You!!...Like I said I know your there & you watch over everyone you love.
If you happen to see Brandon up there, can you tell him we said Hi and we love him & miss him very much?!...If you've met him up there you two have hit it off good i'm sure!! :) We miss you both more than any words could ever express. It is a comfort knowing your up there in heaven together.
Well My Dear Old Friend, It's getting late and I think i've written a book yet again. But I like to come and write you & let you know how things are going! & How much we love & miss you. But you already know that, for you watch over the ones you love daily.
We love you and we miss you very much!!.
you are our hero in heaven!!
I love ya doyle!!!
I'll be to visit you soon!! & I promise to bring flowers!!! :)
Hi Jeremy, I'm back from Tucson, I came a few weeks earlier than I had planned because Leah was coming here and I wanted to see her. She stayed with me for 4 days and it was wonderful seeing her again. We got everyone together at the resturant one evening so all of the family could spend some time with her too. She is just as sweet and wonderful as she always was. You have another cousin, Amber had a baby boy Feb.12, his name is Conner Steven. I think he looks like Amber. Aunt Leigh is so proud to be a Grandma! It was nice spending the winter in Tucson, getting to see everyone out there,oh., Sherry had a baby too, a girl. I went to see you and Berry the other day, everything looks so sad there since the big tree is gone. Maybe they'll plant another one. The years are passing so quickly since you left us, but I don't think that there's a day that your not on everyone's mind who knew you. You are so missed. If you happen to see Uncle Berry, will you tell him how much I miss him too. I love you Jeremy, Gandma
Still thinking about ya! / Todd Reese
Well I finally made it to Martinsville. I still think about ya and I told my kids about you when we got there. Close

Your legacy lives on through my kids / JOEY DOYLE (JEREMY'S UNCLE )
I want to explain to people a choice that I made with great support and advise from Jeremy. My wife Maria and I had 4 children and were faced with the decision to adopt 4 boys who's mother was dying of cancer in 2003. I believe it or not put great faith in Jeremy's clowning opinion because of the young man I knew who was a best friend more than a nephew. Jeremy explained to me that I could do it without fail, and those words will stick with me forever. Jeremy told his wife Leigha the night before he went back to Iraq that if something happened to him he wanted to leave a small gift to our kids to make a difference in their lives and support our cause. Leigha being the amazing person she is unselfishly granted Jeremy's wish.
Jeremy,
I want to update you on the boys. All those hours and all the money spent running these guys to sporting events etc. is paying off. Devon now 17 has received 6 full ride scholarships for college for football, he chose sign with Division 1 Eastern Michigan University. Demetrius now 16 is playing Varsity football and baseball and has been told by a few college coaches they have their eye on him. David now 14 is going to be a freshman next fall and is still dominating in football and I guarantee will go farther than Devon in football. Dewayne now 9 won the PAAL football championship this past fall. Our others are doing great too. Kassie now 17 is driving and has a college talking to her about playing soccer at their college. Dallas is 16 and is playing Softball and soccer. Dalton is 15 and has found his niche in wrestling and started his first season 8 and 1. Logan (your buddy and fellow clown) is now 12 and has 25 girlfriends,is the funniest kid in school, and plays whatever sport that impresses the chicks. We just had a suprise baby even though we weren't supposed to be able to have more. Charley Savannah was born Nov. 18th and is the most beautiful baby in the world. We were going to name the baby Jeremy if it was a boy but God obviously thought one Jeremy Doyle was enough for the world to handle.
I'm glad you supported me taking this on because I am a blessed man and think about you everyday for inspiration. I'm crying writing this because you are so deep in my heart.
Merry Christmas Jer, It has been a tough year but we have made it through. I am not sure whats going on with your webpage but there seems to be some animosity going on between someone on here. One of your friends made mention that this is a memorial webpage and I admire them for it. I hope in the future they keep their opinions to themselves, this is not the place for their frustations and there is too much going on in this world today to have to put up with this stuff. I hope you are having a great Christmas and I am sending you all my kisses and hugs to heaven. We had a very nice Christmas, we came home and had the whole family together, I know you were there today because I felt you holding my hand during prayer. God Bleass you son and have a very Merry Christmas!!! & Hugs

Thank you Jeremy / Tim Dominique (Brother in Arms )
Every time a Soldier or Marine kisses his loved ones and says good by, he or she wonders if this will be the last time. Then the Soldier draws his strength from his family and friends back home.
I know how hard it is to leave your life behind to fight and sacrafice all for what you believe in.
The life of one for the lives of many. However, sacrafice brings a lot of pain to the ones who must carry on without you.
We are greatful for the sacrafice you, your family, and your friends have made.
Thank you

Two years ago I participated like I always do in the Illinois Freedom Run. It's a motorcycle run held in July every year near Chicago to remember our fallen brothers and sisters that have served in the mideast conflicts. Everyone that rides is given a set of dog tags with the name of someone that has given thier life for our freedoms and I have Jeremy's name. It hangs on the mirror of the dresser in my bedroom along with the names of others I have received over the years.
Everyday I remember. Everyday I am thankful. Everyday I hope for the safe return of our men and woman and everyday my heart is heavy for the loss of your Son and that he did not return.
I am just really a random person that was given a random name but I want you to know that he is not forgotten by someone that did not even know him.
Changes to the web page / Debbie Grove (Mother)
I am making some changes to the website. It has been 3 long years and its time for a change. I am posting new pictures and removing some old ones. If any of you have any pics and you want them on here please email them to me and I will make sure they get placed on his page for all to see. I think you will like the new page when it is completed and if you have any suggestions please let me know. Happy Holidays to all of you and many thanks from Jeremy and I for visiting and please continue to do so. Close
HEY SON, THIS IS THE TIME OF YEAR I REALLY MISS, WITH ALL THE HOLIDAYS COMING UP. I CAN REMEMBER ALL THE PAST HALLOWEEN'S THAT YOU DRESSED UP. REMEMBER IN 1992 YOU DRESSED UP AS A CAR ACCIDENT VICTIM, YOU WERE AWESOME!!!! WELL TONIGHT IS HALLOWEEN AND I AM GOING TO BE TAKIING BRYSTON AROUND, HE IS GOING AS A NINJA FOR TONIGHT BUT TODAY AT SCHOOL HE IS DRESSING UP AS A SOLDIER. FOLLOWING AFTER HIS UNCLE JEREMY, HE IS SO MUCH LIKE YOU JER, YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE IT. HE STILL TALKS ABOUT LEAH AND WHERE SHE IS AT, HE LOVED BOTH OF YOU SO MUCH. I KNOW CAMMIE IS MISSING HIM SO MUCH, AND THIS WILL BE HER FIRST HALLOWEEN WITHOUT HIM, I WISH I COULD GET HIM TO INDY BUT SHE ISN'T READY FOR HIM YET, SHE IS STILL LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO LIVE. HE DOESN'T WANT TO MOVE BUT WE KEEP TALKING AND I TELL HIM THAT GRANDMA WILL COME TO SEE HIM AND HE CAN COME TO SEE ME. IT'S SO HARD FOR HIM BECAUSE THIS IS ALL HE KNOWS, BUT I UNDERSTAND CAMMIE'S PART OF WANTING TO BE HOME WITH HER FRIENDS. ANYWAY I WILL LET YOU GO AND DO ME A HUGE FAVOR AND WATCH OVER MY PRECIOUS ANGELS DOWN HERE ON EARTH. LOVE YOU SO MUCH, HAVE A GREAT PARTY IN HEAVEN TONIGHT.
Tributes and Condolences
This time of year for me is hard when I watch football and my Packer's lose. I get no phone calls from my Brother you I love and miss very much. Wish you were here to watch the Monday night game Packer's & the Vicking's.
