The term ‘hero’ is often over used, but certainly not when you use it to describe a member of our emergency services.
The team here at Your Herefordshire cover news and incidents on a daily basis but in truth, this one has really hit home and upset us as a team.
We’ve spoken to Jeremy’s family who have given us permission to share a photo of him and a few words from them.
“Jeremy has been a Paramedic since 1992 and was semi retired to stay on as a technician. He had just five shifts to go before he was going to retire for good.
“Jeremy also spent 25 years serving with the light infantry reaching the rank of colour sergeant. He also spent a bit of time on the air ambulance.
“He was a Hereford tour guide and he was going to do more of when he retired. A keen traveller. Loved Greece especially ancient Olympia.
“He loved metal detecting, he found the Hereford Hoard.
“A devoted husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather.”
