Jeremiah entered this world on August 31, 1952, in Fazendeville, La. He was born to Alfred and Artemise Ned. (a fond memory of his sister Jacquelyn).

He would yell and let them know that "Mama was coming."

Thanksgiving 1998 at a family gathering Jeremiah met and fell in love with the love of his life Joann Washington. The two shared a life together as Jeremiah moved into the same apartment complex just to be closer to his sweetheart during their courting time.

Later, on April 28, 2000, the two joined in marriage. Jeremiah was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather. He left a legacy of love and faith in God and his word. He was an awesome example of the way a man of God should walk and talk.
