Jeremy Briles, 36

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the tragic passing of Jeremy Briles, 36. Born on May 30, 1989, Jeremy entered into eternal rest on May 25. A beloved husband, father, son and grandson, his absence leaves a void that can never be filled.

Jeremy is survived by his wife, Kylie Briles; his sons, Jordan and Jaxon Briles; and his daughter, Kinzley Briles. Along with a large family from Montana, including his mother, sisters and others, along with family from Alaska, and family in Texas. 

He is preceded in death by his grandfather, who he loved greatly, George Shoemaker, and along with many others he loved. Jeremy will surely continue to be loved and remembered by all those who knew him.

A proud graduate of Wyotech, in Laramie, WY, being the first in his family to graduate from college. Jeremy married the love of his life, Kylie, on July 8, 2011, after being together since March 2009. The couple was blessed with their first child, Jordan, in 2012, their second child, Kinzley, in 2014 and their youngest, Jaxon, in 2017. The love he had for his family was immeasurable; he often said his world didn't spin without them.

Avid sports enthusiast, Jeremy was a lifelong supporter of the Seattle Mariners. He also loved fishing, hunting, riding four wheelers and camping during summers in Alaska, demonstrating a true appreciation for the great outdoors. Some of their greatest memories were spent doing those things together. Jeremy loved '90s country and one of his greatest memories as a kid was him wearing his cowboy boots, cowboy hat and wearing his play six shooter while he sang the song "I Should’ve Been a Cowboy".

Jeremy was a man of many virtues. Tall and handsome, he was known for his wit, being a smart ass, intelligence, never gave up and a heart as big as his personality. He cherished his wife and children and never missed an opportunity to express his love and dedication towards them. He worked hard to make sure he always provided for them. He always said the only thing that mattered in his life was the time he got with his wife and kids. He taught many the love of baseball and the value of hard work, earning the respect and admiration of those around him. He loved coaching baseball for his kids and was working on becoming a teacher so he could eventually become a high school baseball coach. He loved to watch his kids learn and love the game of baseball and one of his favorite times was playing whiffle ball in the backyard with his family. Those are memories to cherish forever.
