Jeremy Hall Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Jeremy Lee Hall passed on to his latest adventure at age 48 on May 7, 2020, from gastro-intestinal cancer. When he was diagnosed three years earlier, he was determined to choose to live. He wanted his focus to be on what he could do with whatever time he had left with his wife of 25 years, Heather, and his four children Taylor, Spencer, Allison, and Robyn. He loved hanging out on his deck working on his tan while licking ice cream, taking daily family walks while dragging along his dog Jasper, biking the trails, reading every detective series he could download to his phone, or scratching items off his bucket list, such as sky-diving or sea kayaking. He tried to make every day count, from seeing the beauty of the everyday moments to creating never-to-be-forgotten memories for everyone. He was never happier than when he was planning his latest creative endeavor, especially if it involved helping someone else. Jeremy was born in Great Lakes, Illinois on December 16, 1971, to James and Laurene Hall, who both preceded him in death. He has an older sister, Jonnalyhn, and a younger brother, Jason, and together they moved around the world with his dad’s military assignments before settling in Poulsbo, Washington. There is where his love of hiking, mountains, and all things involving water was fostered along with a love for nachos, tempura, and an ability to be a jack of all trades when it came to figuring out how to make things work. Jeremy served a mission to Tampa, Florida, and returned just in time to be in the same apartment building as Heather. If that wasn’t enough to get them together, he was assigned to her FHE group, was her home teacher, and answered the ad Heather put in the newspaper asking him out. They were married for over 25 years and just enjoyed all the ups, bumps, and downs that those years brought together. Jeremy has always been eager to create and to learn. In college, he would keep Heather awake late at night as he tried to figure out this new thing called the internet on an old computer in their bedroom. He graduated with a degree in teaching science for secondary education, and although he never taught in a school, he enjoyed teaching others about photography and computers for the rest of his life. He was always looking for the next challenge to take on: working for various companies doing web design, starting a company with friends, learning photography, starting a photography studio co-op, creating designs and web sites, and enjoying the world of commercial photography. He was always eager to talk about what he was working on and finishing projects usually involved the phrase, “and next I’m going to…” Jeremy enjoyed helping others and being involved in the world around him. He was a member of the Honorary Colonels of Pleasant Grove, and throughout his life, he eagerly volunteered to be of assistance to others. He often said that the best part of these last three years was having time for all those things he always wanted to do but put off because he was too busy. That might have been being at the kitchen counter every day after school or helping a new friend with a project. He knew so many people in so many walks of life and was always ready to have a genuine conversation and relationship. His best relationships were with his family, and he was grateful for the time and reminder to make those relationships into what they are today. With current conditions we are going to wait a month to mourn and celebrate Jeremy’s life together on June 6th at 10 a.m. at roughly 2200 N along the Murdoch Canal Trail in Pleasant Grove, UT. To go along with Jeremy’s love of the outdoors he wanted to create a rest stop along the trail he loved with a bench and bike tools.
