Anderson, Indiana – With heavy hearts and deep sorrow, we say goodbye to Jeremy Andrew Smith, a beloved son, brother, grandson, nephew, and friend whose vibrant spirit left a lasting imprint on everyone fortunate enough to know him. Jeremy passed away unexpectedly at the age of 37, leaving behind cherished memories and a legacy of compassion, humor, and unwavering love.
Born and raised in Anderson, Indiana, Jeremy was known for his bright smile, kind heart, and ability to make anyone feel seen and heard. Whether sharing a laugh with family, lending an ear to a friend, or simply offering his quiet presence, Jeremy had a gift for bringing warmth and connection into any room he entered. His quick wit, boundless curiosity, and thoughtful nature made him someone people gravitated toward — and someone who will be deeply missed.
As we grieve the loss of Jeremy, we take solace in the many beautiful moments he gifted us — the long conversations, the inside jokes, the deep belly laughs, and the quiet reflections. In these memories, we find comfort. Though he is no longer here in body, his spirit endures — in the values he upheld, in the lives he touched, and in the love he gave so freely.
Jeremy is lovingly remembered and mourned by his family and friends, who will carry his memory in their hearts forever. He was predeceased by his beloved grandparents Donald R. Wells, Ralph and Barbara Smith, and his dear aunt Lynne Kemerly — all of whom we imagine now welcoming him with open arms.
He is survived by a devoted and loving family:
•His mother, Rita Wells
•His father, Michael Smith (Hannah)
•His brother, Sean Smith (Chelsea)
•His half-brothers, Bryan Smith and Jason Smith
•His grandmother, Donna Wells
•His uncles, Rick Wells (Amy), Jeff Wells (Barb), and David Smith
•His aunt, Amy Baker (Bill)
Each of them held a special place in Jeremy’s life, and he in theirs. Their love and support surrounded him through every season of life, and now surround one another in shared remembrance.
The Smith and Wells families invite all who knew and loved Jeremy to honor his memory. A guestbook has been provided for condolences, where friends and loved ones can share messages of sympathy, fond memories, and tributes that celebrate his life.
As we say farewell to Jeremy Andrew Smith, we do so with tears, but also with gratitude — for the time we had, for the love he gave, and for the indelible mark he leaves behind. His kindness, his laughter, and his enduring presence will remain with us always.
Rest peacefully, Jeremy. You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.
