Jeremiah Michael Baeten, 32, died Monday, Aug. 8, 2011, at home after a four year battle with brain cancer. Jeremiah was a man of integrity, who believed in leaving the world a better place. Each day he strived to make a difference in the lives of others, even if it was just by sharing a smile. Jeremiah was born to Nancy Bero who instilled honesty, kindness, hard work, and the ability to do anything he set his mind to. He was later adopted by the most wonderful father David Baeten who was his best friend and role model. Jeremiah was a devoted husband who deeply loved Amy for the past 13 years.
He had a love for animals, especially their boxer. Jeremiah would spend hours patiently training and playing with Tucker. He was a driven young professional who enjoyed the challenges and customer satisfaction that work brought to his life. Jeremiah had a gift to encourage, inspire, and help others laugh, even at the toughest times. Family and friends will remember Jeremiah most for his sense of humor, compassion, positive attitude, intellect, spirituality, wisdom, passion to help others, and his adorable SMILE.
