Today, Wednesday, June 26th, 1996 - Jeremy passed away after a long battle with AIDS.
Jeremy is survived by his parents Francis (Butch) and Donna White, his sister, Lisa and her fiance Scott...and his cat, Blanche - as well as many "brothers & sisters" who loved him as parts of their own families, from points all around the globe.
Jeremy volunteered his time and talents for many years in the battle against HIV/AIDS, by working on both the Boston based "From All Walks of Life" as well as the Worcester based "Walk For Life"..yearly fundraiser marathon pledge walks, helping to raise much needed money for the AIDS Action Committee & AIDS Project Worcester.
In lieu of flowers, donations in his name may be made to AIDS Project Worcester (85 Green St. Worcester, MA).

The above is my best interpretation of the final obitutary Jeremy would have written himself. I would like to add some info for those who may wish to attend a memorial service - it will be held on Friday, June 28th at 7pm at the Mercadante Funeral Home in Worcester, MA. Calling hours are from 6pm to 7pm immediately preceding the service.
Mercadante is located on Plantation Street - From the Boston area, take the Mass Pike to exit 12 in Framingham. Take Rte. 9 West into Worcester. Just after passing over Lake Quinsigamond, continue to top of hill and take a right at the lights onto Plantation St. The funeral home is located approx. two-tenths of a mile from the intersection on the right hand side just past the Hospital.
