A very very special man who is so sadly missed. He was 'all things to all men'. A gentle giant, with a wonderful sense of humour, who could empathise with all walks of life. God bless.

As Christian Stewardship Advisor in the Diocese of Monmouth and also Secretary of the Diocesan Advisory Committee for the Care of Churches, I knew Fr Jeremy well. He did a great deal for St Mary's Abergavenny (both for the people and the building). His spiritual and musical gifts and his natural friendliness would have enhanced the life of St Woolos Cathedral. He will be greatly missed.

Father Jeremy,as he was affectionately known, was a special man and an inspirational priest. The response to his passing is a testimony to the love and affection people had for him. He will be sadly missed by us all. It was privilege to have known him.We attended both St Mabli's and St Mary's before moving to New Zealand.

Jeremy, i met you as a teenager through Carolyn and Sean and the wonderful late John Wakeham, you were a lovely person with a fabulous sense of humour, you were so committed to your work and so respected through every community you touched. rest in peace. x

It was such a shock to hear of Jeremy's untimely death. Over the last 30 or so years our lives have occasinally crossed and I knew him better when we were both young priests. We were almost exact contemporaries. He was great to be with. His seriousness of purpose, always tinged with generous humour, was genuinely endearing. he will be greatly missed and is a sad loss to the Diocese of monmouth and the Church in Wales.

Having known both Jeremy and his mother for many years I was completely gutted to hear about his death. He was such a funny vibrant character who put you so much at ease. As many have said he was larger than life, and although I was not a member of his parrish he ALWAYS made time to speak to me, no matter how busy he may have been. They certainly broke the mould with you, Jeremy as there will NEVER be anyone who can step into your shoes. You were the nicest, kindest and funniest man I have EVER had the priviledge to meet. Sleep tight, and rest in peace x

May God Bless you Jeremy and keep you safe in his tender care. I have many happy childhood memories of Sebastopol and Griffithtown, where I would visit my mums family- Jeremy was my cousin, he was well known for his love of music, cookery skills and love of the lord. He was always a kind and caring human being , his death was untimely, but God had a purpose for his life and his impact on the lives he touched will live on. God Bless you Jeremy.

I shall never forget the kindness that Fr Jeremy showed me when I was serving in the Church in Wales (Parishes of Llanhilleth & Six Bells). He invited me to accompany him and Fr Malcolm on a memorable pilgrimage to the Holy Land; I also recall with pleasure the Diocesan Pilgrimage to Rome ... he was such good company! Rest in peace.

If anyone could embody the qualities of our Saviour it was this man. Father Jeremy was inspirational and led with vision and commitment. He was also the most gentle, thoughtful, loving and sensitive of men. The world is a dark place without him.
Fr Geoffrey Howell - 26/11/2011
Monkton RB (St. Davids)
Fr Jeremy's quiet but assured holiness will be much missed, at Newport Cathedral, Abergavenny and in all the churches where he ministered. Throughout my time at St. Woolos, we always appreciated his participatation in worship, whenever he came: his clear, humorous teaching of the Christian faith in his preaching, his elegant, unfussy expression of the liturgy, and the assured musicality he gave to worship. His legacy as a priest will be long-lasting, though he has gone. Rest in peace.
Philip Jones - 25/11/2011

I have only met or seen Jeremy a few times but even so I really appreciated his humour and his open approach so that I was really looking forward to his ministry as Dean of St Woolos.

Having served as Curate of Griffithstown, I got to know Jeremy via his mother. Later, on the few occasions we would meet, he would always make time for a conversation. I found him to be both a gentleman and a gentle man. May he rest in peace.

Jeremy was an inspiration. A true example of christian love. It did not matter who you were or what you did he had the gift of making you feel special. He will be missed by so many for jis wit, charm and above all genuine concern. A light may have gone out on earth but the heavenly choirs will be blessed by his presence. God bless Jeremy you will always be in my prayers.

We grew up together, sang in the same church choir (my father was the organist) and attended the same grammar school. A giant amongst men, both literally and methaphorically, whose untimely death robs the C in W of one of its' most able sons.
Rest in peace, dear friend; God knows, you have earned it.

Always felt a sense of warmth whenever I saw Father Jeremy, even if just caught a glimpse of him - a calming and positive influence and a real comfort to the family when we lost a loved one. A huge loss to the community and will be greatly missed. Sleep well xx

Remembering with gratitude and affection a dear friend and brother priest, who served as my Area Dean when I was incumbent at Llantilio Pertholey. He showed great kindness and care for the clergy on his patch and concern for the well-being of our families too. My children Adam and Charlotte also remember him fondly. May you rest in peace dear Jeremy, and rise in glory.

Jeremy is a star. He was gifted in many ways by the Lord who called him to be his priest. His work at Abergavenny was well known in England as well as Wales and many rejoiced in his being made Dean of the Diocese which he served so faithfully. Ours here in Kenton will be one of the many Requiem Masses offered for his soul. Da was dda a fyddlon...Rest in Peace.

Fr Jeremy was a true friend and brother. His care of his friends was something which he regarded as a privilege - we were Trustees of the John Jones Trust together, as well as Trustees of the ACS, which he chaired for 5 years very ably. Fr Jeremy was in my mind the best bishop the C in W never had, Rest in Peace dear Father, and thankyou for your love and friendship.

I was lucky enough to be a teenager in Bassaleg Parish when Jeremy was a curate. He always made time to get to know the young people of the Parish and helped us to make sense of the world. I have so many fond memories of Jeremy with his great love of music and all things beautiful. He was our tour guide in Oxford, he was the charming host at the first dinner party we went to. Perhaps best of all, he was prepared to get muddy and cold so that we could enjoy a weeks holiday on a canal boat - I can see him now taking a service on board next to a row of wellies!
So sad and shocked to hear of his passing.

Having grown up in Rogerstone where Jeremy was curate, I recall a gentleman and devote man of God. He was both an inspiration and mentor to many and his touch will be missed by both the young and the old alike. Rest in peace Jeremy.

Father Jeremy brought his spirit and enthusiasm to our village, St. Arvans, when I was a child.I have many fond memories, as I'm sure will many young and old. I was saddened by the news, but have smiled also today, remembering back to my confirmation classes, youth group, and the day he was introduced to the parish when he arrived 'larger than life'. All those who were lucky enough to have met him, will never forget him.
