April 24, 2025 – Memphis, Tennessee
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Jeremy Denard Edwards, who departed this life on April 24, 2025, at the age of 48 in his hometown of Memphis, Tennessee. Though our hearts are heavy with grief, we come together in remembrance of a man whose presence was a light to all who knew him—a son, brother, father, friend, and pillar of his community.
Born and raised in Memphis, Jeremy embodied the spirit and resilience of the city he loved so dearly. He was known for his warm smile, his unwavering kindness, and a heart that was as generous as it was strong. To know Jeremy was to feel seen, supported, and uplifted. Whether offering a helping hand or a listening ear, he showed up with humility, patience, and grace.
Jeremy’s life was defined not by titles or accolades, but by the quiet strength of his character and the deep bonds he formed with those around him. He had a remarkable ability to bring people together, whether through family gatherings, community events, or spontaneous cookouts that filled the air with laughter and the rich aroma of Southern comfort food. His love for Memphis was evident in everything he did—from mentoring young people in his neighborhood, to volunteering at local shelters, to simply sharing stories that kept the city’s rich culture alive.
Family was at the heart of Jeremy’s world. He was a devoted son and a protective brother, always making time for those closest to him. He leaves behind cherished memories that will continue to live on in the hearts of his loved ones. Though he may no longer walk among us, the lessons he taught, the love he gave, and the kindness he spread will echo through generations.
Jeremy had a quiet strength, the kind that doesn’t boast but builds, that doesn’t shout but shows up. He found joy in simple things—a long conversation on a front porch, a Sunday afternoon watching the game, or an old-school blues record playing as the sun set. These moments, though ordinary, were made extraordinary by his presence.
In the days ahead, let us carry Jeremy’s memory forward by embracing the values he held dear—compassion, loyalty, humility, and love. Let us celebrate his life by continuing the work he began, by caring for our neighbors, uplifting our youth, and living with the same warmth and sincerity that Jeremy brought into every room.
To the Edwards family, we extend our deepest sympathies. We grieve with you and honor the beautiful soul that Jeremy was. May your hearts find peace in knowing how deeply he was loved and how profoundly he will be missed.
Rest in peace, Jeremy Denard Edwards. Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure. You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.
