Jeremy Mendham of Millington, age 38,  passed away at Brian’s House Hospice on Friday, November 9, 2018 at 2:27 a.m. with his children holding and loving him, his nephews massaging his feet (he wanted to die with his feet being rubbed) surrounded by his entire family. 227 to us is a sign of encouragement, that all is going to be fine, and to be confident. Jeremy was born January 16, 1980 in Pontiac, MI to Kenneth and Sally Mendham. He graduated from Millington High School in 1998. Jeremy leaves behind his beautiful children, McKenzee Monroe Mendham, Mollie Mae Mendham, Manuel Mason Mendham, and Maezeeona Mariah Mendham. Also left to cherish his memory is his father, Kenneth Mendham, sisters; Cassie Mendham and husband Terry Gibbs, Tabitha Henderson and husband Matthew; loving nephews Dustin and Lukas Henderson; and his precious niece Adelynn Henderson. 

Jeremy worked in many trades throughout the years but was proudest of tending to his garden. One of his trades was masonry, where his Manuel carries the middle name “Mason”.  Jeremy was Manuel’s biggest fan while attending his baseball games, which he loved coaching, and basketball games. He lived his life for his children, they are what kept him going and fighting through his illness. Jeremy loved spending time with his family and friends, whether it was family dinner, camping trips, bonfires and singing, watching sports, or attending the kids events; just being with family and friends was good enough for him. He was so proud of his children and each for different reasons. Kenzy, for focusing on her goals and staying true to herself. Mollie, for her free spirited soul and love for her people. Manee, for his dedication to his sports and Big heart. Maezee, for her fun loving attitude and faithfulness to her friends. Jeremy leaves us with so many great memories and will continue to live on through the hearts of his family and friends. Though we will miss his jokes, great company, smirky grin, and giving heart, we are at peace knowing he is no longer in pain. 
Jeremy joins his mother Sally Ann Mendham, brother Dustin Anson Mendham, Grandparents Randall Jr and Lucille West, and Jack and Grace Mendham, Uncles Bryan West, Rodney Mendham, and Randall West III, in Heaven. Together they will continue to watch over us all. 

Family and friends will gather on Friday, November 16, 2018 at Vassar Victory Center, 800 State Rd, Vassar, MI 48768 at 4:00PM for a Celebration of Life. Visitation will be from 2:00PM until the time of the service. 

In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the GoFundMe for his children or Brian’s House in Essexville, MI in his memory.
