Spencer and Corrine (Anderson) Nunemaker proudly announced their first of six children, Jeremiah, born on June 11, 1990 in Burnsville, MN. Growing up in Jordan, MN, he was the older brother to Josiah, Moriah, Shaniah, Zechariah and Oliviah. As a young boy, his parents knew instantly Jeremiah was going to love life. Holding all five fingers on his hand in the air, he was so proud to say on his 5th birthday, “I am a whole handful!” Well, the statement was true…for Jeremiah was a handful!!!
Jeremiah loved unconventional entertainment and fun. He loved anything that was exciting, loud, intense and even more if it could explode. Jeremiah spent countless hours playing video games and enjoying the speed of snowboarding and skateboarding. The organized sports really weren’t his favorite, but on an occasion, he was called up from the bench to support his team playing soccer. Instead of playing baseball, Jeremiah and his friends relished exploring different ways to play baseball while the ball was on fire.
After attending Jordan Public School, Jeremiah enrolled in the Prior Lake Christian School through the eighth grade. He then attended New Prague High School, completing his education at the Lydia Alternative School in 2008. He attended Minnesota School of Business for a while and became a self-taught computer genius. Typical corporate work was not his style. Jeremiah explored various jobs and loved the people he worked with, but found true pleasure in being a personal care assistance for a close family member.
At a bonfire with mutual friends, Jeremiah was introduced to Brooke Pauley-Bobinsky. They instantly became the best of friends and the love of each other’s life. Jeremiah also loved music. He and three other guys created a hard core heavy metal band called Social Injustice. They performed all over the metro area and even traveled to Alexandria. Jeremiah was lead vocals and treasured every performance and time spent with the band. He was also a very smooth dancer, with the moon walk as Jeremiah’s signature move.
Jeremiah loved anything fast and loud, especially motorcycles and high power guns. He loved the freedom of living on the edge and going fast. Jeremiah loved calculated crazy, but to his family and friends, his greatest quality was his caring and compassionate personality. Jeremiah picked up many roles throughout his lifetime, being there for family and friends was one of the many characteristics that will be remembered by all. Jeremiah was the person to lean on in times of hardship, he cared so deeply for the people in his life and always wanted the best for his friends and family.
Left to honor Jeremiah’s life and mourn the death are his parents, Spencer and Corrine Nunemaker; siblings, Josiah, Moriah, Shaniah, Zechariah, Oliviah; love of his life, Brooke Pauley-Bobinsky; grandparents, Charles Nunemaker III, Sandra and Loren Klier, Cecil and Virgilene Anderson; many loving relatives and devoted friends
