On October 10, 2009, Jeremy was hit and killed by a drunk driver while participating in the Ragnar Relay in Las Vegas.  Running was one of Jer’s great passions, and he died doing something he loved.

Photography was another interest about which he was very passionate.  In the year before his death, he showed great dedication to developing his considerable talent and abilities.  This website demonstrates what an amazing photographer Jer had become.  His posts serve as a reminder to take joy in life and the beauty of the world, and to share that joy with the people around us, the way that Jer always did.  But most importantly, the subject matter of so many of his photos reveals that Jer’s greatest passion was always his family.

Please feel free to browse the website, which (except for this post) is exactly how he left it.  You are also invited to visit the memorial website. There you will be able to share stories, memories and thoughts about Jer, and express your condolences and support to his family.  You can get to the memorial website by clicking here, or on the “Jeremy Kunz Memorial Website” link at the top of any page on this site.

I converted to Black and White thinking that it adds a bit of drama to the shot, but will also post the color version in a comment below.
