Jeramie Jay Taylor, 36, passed away at his home in Pasco on September 18th. Jeramie was born in Spokane on December 7, 1974 to parents Earl Taylor and Sharon Taylor.
A natural athlete, he played many sports, but his passion and pride was playing for and being captain of the Mead Panthers football team with buddies Jason Baldwin and Bill Reed. At SCC, studying forestry, he steer-wrestled for the rodeo team with buddy Ryan Grenell. He also loved watching sports, specifically the Seahawks, with brother-in-law D.J. Wuennecke.
Jeramie loved the outdoors. Hunting, skiing, camping, riding horses, golfing, boating, or even just working in the yard he was happiest when outside drinking a beer and enjoying nature, especially with his brothers Bryan Taylor and Steve Cargile.
On July 25, 1998 he married Gina Wuennecke in Spokane. The births of his two beautiful daughters in 2000 and 2005 were the greatest moments in his life. With them, he loved playing/coaching soccer, wrestling, boating/tubing, cooking, dancing, singing in the truck, swimming, watching movies, traveling, and snuggling on the couch. He loved his girls, whom he affectionately called Squirt and Pipsqueak , more than anything in this world.
