My husband and I were great friends to Jeremy. I met Jeremy through my husband (boyfriend at the time). My husband Peter was the Computer Manager at Staples and he told me that he was pretty sure that the security guard at the mall was a Christian. Well one day I just had to meet this nice guy so I visited Peter after work and there was Jeremy. He was very friendly and we got to talking and he explained that his wife worked at SAANS. I just had to meet her.
Shortly after meeting them, they invited us to share groups and then to their home. We instantly became friends and we invited them to our wedding in April 15, 2001. From then on we were all inseparable. Donna’s work at SAANS was coming to an end and I recommended her to get a job at my work, at the Royal Bank. I sure had great times with Donna that we always had after work dinners at each others homes.
Donna and Jeremy always made us feel loved and welcome at their home that even when my husband had to go out of town they did not want me to be home by myself that they both had me stay with them.
I remember Jeremy’s sweet nature of always showing a caring heart about Jesus’ love for all mankind. Whenever we had talks with him he was always showing great interest and learning attitude to God’s character and new insights. He taught us a lot through his life and example of his deep desire to follow Jesus. I remember one evening we were at Jeremy’s place after supper that Donna and I were finished cleaning up the dishes and we went out to the porch we saw Peter and Jeremy talking about spiritual things and then watched the sunset. We totally felt this is what wholesome friendship is all about; good company, good food and most of all great talks about the meaningful things in life.
Donna was one of the first people to find out that Peter and I were expecting a baby in January 2004. I knew that Donna and Jeremy wanted to have children so we bugged them all the time about getting busy. Well when Donna finally got pregnant 6 months after us we so bugged Jeremy and I remember he had a smirk on his face and his face turned so red. Jeremy had an innocent disposition and very quirky sense of humor.
When going to their home I remember Jeremy and his cleanliness and soaking his veggies and fruit in his sink with a pesticide cleaner before putting it into their fridge. Jeremy always had a health kick on a lot of things so did I. I remember when spending the night at their place I would forget my vitamins and he would share his with me.
If anyone knows Jeremy he had a bad case of passing gas. At my home I threatened Jeremy that I was going to have to replace my furniture wherever he would fart and he had this smirk on his face and denial of no not me I couldn’t have done that!?! The stories could go on and on. These are part of our special memories we will treasure forever.
When we moved away up north for Peter’s work, Jeremy and Donna moved to High Level Alberta for his work. This was very sad for us because I was in denial of moving away from Williams Lake and from them. Jeremy and Donna and Judah would come by when traveling through and that would be a breath of fresh air and joy.
I remember Donna and Jeremy calling us and telling us of the news of Jeremy getting leukemia and I just felt our hearts sink. We just had to see them, so we went to Edmonton to the Cross Cancer Center and prayed and cried. Whenever there was a chance on seeing them we would take the opportunity and go. We had the pleasure of them staying with us in October 2005 where Jeremy spoke to a group of people at Peter’s Aunt‘s place. Jeremy’s strength and courage you could see came from the Lord. I remember I was suffering from a terrible migraine headache and Jeremy with his unselfish prayer upon me, ministered to me spiritually and the migraine disappeared shortly.
In March 2006 we got to hear Jeremy speaking at a home church in Williams Lake and he was never discouraged. On May 3, 2006 we received a call from Donna about Jeremy’s health going bad quickly and so we drove to Abbotsford and got to pray and see Jeremy before he passed away on the 4th. We still don’t understand why, but all we know is that we have been truly blessed to have had Jeremy in our lives. When Jesus comes again he will raise Jeremy and we who are remaining will meet in the sky. I am so glad we have this promise and hope from Jesus our Lord and Saviour who conquered death for us.
“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” Revelation 21:4
Our deepest condolences to Donna, Judah and new baby to come and to all of Jeremy’s family and friends who truly loved him.
Lisa and Peter and Seth Hulka

Letter and Pics from Karyn Jackson
Hi Kendal
I have some pictures that I would like to post on the website forJer, so I thought that I would send them to you.
Its funny. In the 14 years that Jeremy and I have been friends, Iseem to only have two pictures. He was much more the one for camera's than I was. Jeremy was my big brother. It's funny, because when I think of him, the main thing I can remember is his laugh. I hope that will stick in my head forever. That, and how he looks when he dances. I find it hard to believe that Donna still wanted to date him after she saw him dance!!! LOL
Anyway, here are my pictures.
This is from FGBI weekend in 1995. We all went out to Farwell Canyon.
Of course, Jeremy had to make everything a scene from some movie he had watched. This is our cheese adventure shot!!!!!
This picture is from our New Year's Eve party 1995. When I looked at your wedding picture, I saw me and thought, "What the heck was I thinking." When I look at you and Jer in these make-shift diapers, I think the same thing.
We had some super fun times and some super dumb times. Was I going to marry you and have my reception at the Ranch with green and orange as our colors, or what that Jer? The years that we all hung around together, I think I lost a few years off of my life. Too many spiders, too many times of someone jumping out at me in the dark. Too many hours trying to figure out if Elvis really did live in the Jones' basement. Though I am going to miss Jeremy, he is finally in the place he always wanted to be. I think that is really cool.
Karyn
Thanks Karyn,
I don't know what's more embarassing the fact that Jer and I were wearing diapers or my huge cell phone. Everyone else, please keep the pictures and stories coming.
Kendal
PS. Elvis really did live in my basement back then, but he has moved here to Regina and lives a couple blocks away from us.

Best Man!
Kendal and Robyn's wedding-1996
Jeremy was our best man.....
Marky, Jeremy and Scott singing Mr. Frump at the Reception....
It is a terrible, terrible song....Ask Donna!
and yet we sang it at Jer and Donna's wedding, and at Scott's....
The song has a long history that i am not sure I can even remember....
but I do remember the 4 of us singing it to LA (Kendal's sister) several times in the Keg in William's Lake to embarrass her...which it did...as we sang it at the top of our lungs...
If you want to know the lyrics I have included a link....
http://www.com-www.com/weirdal/mrfrumpintheironlung.html
Put Jeremy in a suit, and all of a sudden he thought he was 007!
I don't think I ever went to a wedding with him where swords or guns didn't come out!

Comment from Judah, an internet buddy of Jeremy
This was a comment Judah left in the comments section, but I felt it warranted it's own post as Jeremy personally thanked Judah in his last posting to this site. Kendal
To Donna and little Judah ~ I am so sorry to hear of this great loss you have to bear, and yet I am well aware that you also have another perspective shared by all Christians who have a personal friend and saviour in our Lord. I trust you will know His strength and compassion through this tough time, and that it brings you even closer to Him in the days and months to come.To all Jeremy's family and friends, my condolences also.~ from a fellow Christian way out there in cyberspace.

From Mary Wolbers
Just a few words to share with all of you about my friend Jerm. This was a name I called him at times. I've known the Nelson family for ever, and by luck I ended up working with Jeremy as security in Boitanio Mall in Williams Lake. We developed a family there with the people we worked with. Working together there was constantly joking around and laughing. There was serious work at times, but laughter was most of the time. Jerm always wanted us to be a little up to date on security equipment, so he ordered these high tech radios with a small ear piece, and a hidden mike which we tucked in our shirts. No one else could hear us talk. Man when those radio's arrived, he was in his glory. I didn't want to let on that I was also excited.
So as soon as Jerm and I got to work together with this new stuff we acted like we were some kind secret agents. We even started dressing alike with black vests on. Remember, I'm old enough to be his mother, but that didn't to matter to Jeremy, we worked as a team.
Hey, those fancy radio's came in handy, when we were in hot pursuit. Like hiding in place's watching shoplifters. There was one time in the winter Jerm and I ran after a shoplifter into the park. It was dark, cold and lots of snow. We hid behind a snow bank and watch our shoplifter change into the clothes he had taken. Jeremy radioed, "Are you ready?"
"Sure!" I said. Just as he was to make a break for it we got our man. Job well done. We came back to the mall acting pretty smart. Of course we weren't allowed to leave the property, hey that was action for us.
With the job at birthday time, it was also cake time, which our boss ordered. Jeremy was the most happy about this because his birthday was close to Christmas, so that meant cake and more cake. He just loved Chocolate Tuxedo cake. If you mentioned carrot cake he wouldn't show up.
I can mention a serious occasion we walked up to the top level of the parkade he wanted to tell me something. He had mentioned awhile back that he had meet a girl and he really like her. While this consverstion was going to be something else I could tell. He said, "You know that girl I told you about, Donna, she is the one I'm going to marry." And they did.
They asked me to be a usher at their wedding. I'm telling you that was an honor. And here's a little secret at the wedding, I had to go knock on the door to tell the groom and his groomsmen to come out for the wedding ceremony, Jeremy and I were still passing secret codes. Jerm even asked if I made sure the parking lot was secure. My response was 10-4.
I just loved it when I'd be doing something goofy and Jeremy would have that big smile and shake his head, and just say, Mary.
Saturday morning we would all have breakfast together at A&W before starting our shift. Jeremy would always have his coupon for the bacon and egger, for him and Donna. He would eat his 2 and than eye up Donna's. That had to stop soon because Donna was now eating for 2. Jeremy was going to be a father, AWESOME!
Judah was born.
Jeremy quit security and furthered his education. Jeremy recieved a new job, going to a new town, new ventures. So off he went with his family.
We keep in touch.
This man touched each and everyone in someway. I was and am blessed to have Jeremy in my life. We had spirtual talks which I'll keep to myself. Wednesday morning May 3rd at the hospital I was asked, is this your son, no I said, but thank you for the complement. I'm his Auntie Mary.
Jeremy is with his cousin Josh, so Lord you have your hands full with those two, keep a close eye on them.
Thank you Jeremy and I love you.

Letter from Talitha, a friend of Jeremy and Donna
Thanks very much for the offer to post stories or other things about Jeremy. My husband and I lived in Canada for about three years (I am American and my husband is Swiss) and Jeremy was one of our closest friends while were there. We were all a part of a young marrieds' share group. So we got to know him well, and saw him regularly. I don't think I've met anyone who would make me feel so comfortable while talking to him. Jeremy was never judgemental, always open-minded, and he really seemed to care about what you had to say. We'd often try calling either him or Donna, but the line was busy because he was on the phone with someone... I'm pretty sure he was on the phone a lot more than Donna. I know a lot of people went to him for advice, comfort, whatever. We'd drop by their house sometimes unexpectedly, and he would have his phone earpiece in, for "hands free talking". He was just entertaining.
One time we stopped by, and he had just made a smoothie. A chicken smoothie. Yes, he ground up some chicken into a beverage. I don't remember his reasoning for that, but I sure remember the smoothie. We kindly declined his offer to share.
At many of our get-togethers, Jeremy would bring out his digital camera and tape us. There wasn't really much going on, but he made everyone feel special by taping the situation anyway, as if it was special to him.
One evening service at church, one of the few we went to, my husband and I heard Donna sing a song. It was the first time we had heard that song, though I'm sure it's probably been around for a while. It was one of the most beautiful and touching songs I'd ever heard, and it now happens to be a song quite applicable to not only Jeremy's passing, but to his amazing attitude during his life.
"Blessed Be Your Name".
Blessed be your name
In the land that is plentiful
Where the streams of abundance flow
Blessed be your name
Blessed be your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed be your name
Every blessing you pour out,
I turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say...
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name
Blessed be your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's all as it should be
Blessed be your name
Blessed be your name
On the road marked with suffering
Oh, There's pain in the offering
Blessed be your name
Every blessing you pour out,
I turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say...
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name
You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to stay
Well Blessed be your name
I want to remember more about him, more interesting stories, more funny quirks about him, but I can't. I feel bad about that. I remember camping with him and the other young couples. I remember playing softball with him. I remember deep spiritual conversations with him. And I definitely remember what a good friend he was though, and I know I will never forget that.
You don't have to post anything that I've said on his site. That's really not my intention for writing. You just asked for stuff, and I wanted to help. I wasn't able to go to the funeral either, so it helps me to write this stuff out.
Thanks again for your offer. I hope other things are being sent to you, too. I'd love to read about what other people send in when it's all ready.
Most sincerely,
Talitha

Comments from Judy, a friend of Jeremy
I just felt I had to check the blog today and was so sorry to read of Jeremy's passing. We lost our daughter Ashley on April 22.
We met Jeremy when we were visiting another friend, Lothar from B4. Lothar and Jeremy were sharing a room in T15 last December. We got talking and saw the amazing caring person Jeremy was and have got to know Donna and Jonah at B4.
Our hearts are breaking for you Donna and your precious Judah. You do carry a part of Jeremy with you. That is a gift. It was not that long ago that Jeremy came by B4 to see Ashley and to pray with us.
Ashley was so fond of Jeremy and I didn't know if you had heard about her passing. Her service was May 5 at Christ Church Cathedral and I was so thinking of Jeremy and how he was doing. I am sure that Ashley and Jeremy have met and are taking care of us now. There is nothing I can say that will take away your pain but do know he was a special person and each of us in the Brear family is praying for you all at this time.
Love and prayers, Judy

Jeremy has gone home.
As many of you may already heard Jeremy Lee Nelson passed away on Thursday May 4, 2006 after a long battle with leukemia. Jeremy stood strong in his faith until the very end, firmly believing that his life was in the Lord's hands. Jeremy was well loved by a great many family and friends. The funeral will be on Monday afternoon, May 8, 2006 in Abbotsford BC. It will be at the Abbotsford Pentecostal Assemblies, 3145 Gladwin Road.
Jeremy asked me to help him set this blog up to keep family and friends up to date while he was battling his illness. Robyn and I are both on as contributors, but until now I haven't posted anything. It was meant to be Jeremy's personal site, but I will probably keep it going for a while as a tribute to Jeremy. If anyone has any thoughts, stories or pictures of Jeremy, please send them to me at kendaljones@gmail.com or to Robyn at elijahssong@gmail.com and I will post them.

TREATMENT INEFFECTIVE
Hello to all my family, friends & fellow bloggers. I hope all is well with everyone. I must say its nice to be home again even though my time away was good for me spiritually. I got a lot of time to read the Bible & talk to God in prayer. I had some times of refreshing in my room. If someone would have walked in, I'm sure they would have thought that I was crazy or something. Satan sure didn't like that too much & he really put on the pressure the next week. I was starting to feel very tired & a heavy spirit of oppression had come over me. The treatment drugs probably didn't help. It was on a Monday morning that this started & by Tuesday evening after much Bible study, prayer & talking with a friend for a while I was starting to get a break through. It just so happened that my nurse that night was a new Christian too. We ended up talking for close to an hour about Biblical issues. It was very encouraging to me. God new just what I needed to get the joy back. Glory be to Him!
It is sure nice to have Donna back home. Judah was thrilled to see her when she got back & hasn't wanted to let her out of his sight since. Donna's 28th birthday was on April 6, & thanks to mom & dad we where able to get away for a night at the Best Western in Abbotsford (a jacuzzi suite). It was nice to have some time alone with Donna. We sure would have a hard time being away from Judah for too long though. Donna found it difficult being away from Judah & I when she was away for that week. I sure missed them as well when I was at the Cancer Agency. At least I got to see Judah on the weekend as I had a pass for the Saturday & Sunday.
I finished my treatment at the Cancer Agency on March 31. The treatment had no effect on stopping the growth of the cancer cells. The last blood test showed continued increase. The doctor talked to me about going on a chemo drug that would help keep me comfortable until I die. I have chosen not to go on it, as I still believe that God will deliver me in His time. I have been doing good still. Sometimes I feel some symptoms come now & again, but I keep going to God about that & remind the devil that my life is in God's hands not his.

God has blessed us with lots of support from family & friends. Thank you for helping us through this difficult situation. Will you continue to fight with us? We're almost there & the devil is in a panic because he knows that his time is short. He will do every thing in his power to try & get me & you to except that the disease will take my life. Will you agree with us in prayer & demand what ever is left of the disease (symptoms) to get off me in Jesus name. The Bible gives a principle regarding health in Proverbs 3:5-8;
5Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
7Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
8It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
Thank God for His Word. I can't say enough about how encouraging it has been to me. The best way to get to know God is through the reading of His Word. The more time we spend in it, the more we get to know God. Everything there is to know about God is in His Word (the Bible), so why wouldn't we want to spend more time reading & studying it? There I go again. I just can't help but share something with you all that I have found to be helpful & encouraging to me. I look forward to writing soon to share more of what God has been doing in my life & the life of my family.
I just wanted to say a special thank you to: Dani, Janette, Auntie Val & Uncle Jon, April, Robyn, Bill & Sharon, Kirk, Barb (3yr Cancer survivor), Judah (from a Christian forum), Serfmann, Melodey & Missb for your encouraging comments that you left for me. I would also like to thank my good friend Kendal for getting this blog site up & running for me.
Bye for now.
All the Best
&
God Bless
Jeremy, Donna, Judah & Baby(due July 20)

Experimental Treatment A Go Now!
Hello Everyone!
It seems like I haven't wrote for awhile. I have been doing very well the last couple months. Praise GOD! Donna, Judah & I even got to go to Williams Lake for a visit last weekend. We had a great time. Donna has been doing better lately, but the doctor would like her to put on a few more pounds before the next visit. Donna just had an ultra-sound & doctor check-up & all is well. Praise GOD! Judah is doing good & is enjoying playing with his cousins who are staying at my mom & dad's this week. It has been good for him to play with other kids as he does not get to very often.
Donna is flying to Grand Prairie tomorrow & will be making her way home to High Level to get our taxes done. She will be gone for one week. Judah is not going & will be without Donna & I for the week as I am in the Cancer Agency for 2 weeks starting today. I know he will do fine with my mom & dad for the week. They will bring him in to visit me when they can.
My antibodies were a lot lower with my last blood test which opened the door for me to take the experimental treatment now. I chose to take it & do not know whether it is the right decision or not, but I will continue to pray & seek GOD concerning that. I am thakful for His mercy & grace He has shown me thus far. My blood counts were starting to come up on their own, but the cancer cells were increasing with my white cell count. Please pray for the curse of Leukemia to be broken off of me & that GOD would open up opportunity to witness the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the doctors, nurses, patients & others while I am here. Please continue to pray for Donna & Judah. Fear is constantly trying to bring doubts. I thank GOD that He has helped us to recognize the spirit of fear when it comes. Thank GOD he hasn't given us a spirit of fear but of love, power & a sound mind. He is our peace. Amen!
Thank you for your continued prayers & support. May GOD bless you & keep you in His loving care.
All the Best

GOD Bless

It seems like I haven't wrote for awhile. I have been doing very well the last couple months. Praise GOD! Donna, Judah & I even got to go to Williams Lake for a visit last weekend. We had a great time. Donna has been doing better lately, but the doctor would like her to put on a few more pounds before the next visit. Donna just had an ultra-sound & doctor check-up & all is well. Praise GOD! Judah is doing good & is enjoying playing with his cousins who are staying at my mom & dad's this week. It has been good for him to play with other kids as he does not get to very often.
