Jeremiah Wayne Briggs

Jeremiah (Jeremy) Wayne Briggs, 36, of Cudahy, WI, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, September 5, 2024 at his home.

Jeremy was born on September 19, 1987 in Charleston, SC and grew up mainly in central California. He accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior at the age of 7. Jeremy was a very bright and happy child and did well in school. After high school, Jeremy attended Maranatha Baptist Bible College in WI for a year and remained in WI the rest of his life. He worked in real estate and then in home maintenance and repair, where he operated his own business. Jeremy enjoyed reading, guns, hiking, camping and generally just being outdoors.

He had many good friends in his Milwaukee community including Amy Kintop (his person), Nick Estes and Mike Johnson who have bore witness of his care, kindness and helpfulness to those he came in contact with. He will be missed greatly by his friends. They will hold a memorial service at a later date.
