Jeremy Briner


   
     Jeremy was born September 9, 1974.  He was a lifelong resident of Independence.  Being a member of First Presbyterian Church, he was active in the youth programs and Scouting.  He graduated in 1992 from William Chrisman High School.  Throughout his life he was a fun-loving young man and had many friends and interests.  After serving four years in the Army, he returned home, got a job, and started college.  The ordinary challenges that life presented to Jeremy were overwhelming.  On May 30, 1999, at the age of 24, he took his own life.

     This website is dedicated to his memory.  It is the sincere hope of Jeremy's family that this website may serve as a beacon to anyone who might be experiencing despair as Jeremy did.  May you find comfort in knowing God is always present in your life and holds your hand in both happy and difficult times.   Jeremy didn't know after spending the last moments of his life in the dark, that the next morning brought the sun and a promise of a new and better day.
