Jeramy Balch

Jeramy Ancel Balch On August 20, 2014 Jeramy Ancel Balch left this world and is now in the loving arms of those that went before him. Jeramy was born in Tacoma, WA on July 15, 1981 to Michael E. Balch and Shari L. Shadbolt. During his life he lived many years between California and Washington State. He was treasured by all those that had the blessing of being a part of his life and has left many behind that will love him deeply forever. Jeramy grew up loving to fish and hunt and many good memories were shared with his father: Michael, grandparents: Lelia and Dennis Dibley, and during the final years of his life he was blessed to find love with his best friend Barbara. In 2003 Jeramy was proud to enlist in the United States Marine Corps as his Grandfather Ancel Ballard before him earning Expert Marksmanship during his stint. Following his service Jeramy met Barbara Talk when he came to work at Dan Gamble RV. The day he walked in she thought he was the most handsome man she had ever seen. Barbara and Jeramy were married and had each other for 8 years. She was his best-friend, lover, confidant, and even his fishing buddy. Jeramy also loved the son that Barbara shared with him. He felt love for Randy right from the start. That was his son. Jeramy was also very fond of his father in law: Hilery (aka: Peewee). Peewee mentored Jeramy and loved him as a son. Jeramy always expressed his deep respect and love for this man and cherished the time they spent together. He especially loved deer hunting with Peewee up at Paynes Creek and just hanging out together. Jeramy also loved his sister, Jamilyn. Although they did not spend most of their years together as they grew up, Jeramy never forgot how they loved to play together in their great-grandparent's back yard. Jeramy was preceded in death by his great-grandparent's, Ancel and Ruth Ballard and also his grandfather Jim Hightower. His relationship with each one was special. For those that are left behind: Wife and son: Barbara and Randy; Father and stepmom: Michael and Alexiss Balch; Mother and sister: Shari Shadbolt and Jamilyn Balch; grandparents: Dennis and Lelia Dibley; In-laws, Peewee and Sharon Talk; and all the extended family and friends.
