IN THE MEMORY OF MY FRIEND
JEREMY MYERS. HE PASSED AWAY AT
THE AGE OF FORTY THREE. ON
JANUARY TWENTY FOURTH. HE
BATTLED ALS LOU GEHRIG'S DISEASE
FOR JUST UNDER A YEAR. JEREMY

MONTHS OLD MEGHAN IS HERE WITH
ME TODAY. JEREMY WAS THE VICE
PRESIDENT FOR AMERICAN PROPERTY
CASUALTY INSURANCE. ASSOCIATION
AND PRIOR TO THAT MANY OF YOU
KNOW HIM FROM HIS TIME
ADVOCATING FOR THE BUSINESS
COMMUNITY AS A LEGISLATIVE
REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE
CALIFORNIA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
A STAPLE OF SACRAMENTO CAPITAL
COMMUNITY JEREMY WAS HARD TO
MISS BECAUSE HE'S SIX FOOT SEVEN
. JEREMY DISTINGUISHED HIMSELF
AS A STANDOUT FOOTBALL PLAYER
HERE IN SACRAMENTO AT JESUIT
HIGH SCHOOL HE WENT ON AS A
DIVISION ONE ATHLETE ON FULL
SCHOLARSHIP TO IDAHO STATE
UNIVERSITY. UNFORTUNATELY AN
INJURY ENDED HIS FOOTBALL CAREER
BUT IT SENT HIM BACK HOME WHERE
HE GRADUATED FROM THE UNIVERSITY
OF CALIFORNIA DAVIS. HE THEN
WENT ON TO STUDY LAW AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF PACIFIC MCGEORGE
SCHOOL OF LAW HERE SACRAMENTO.
JEREMY WAS WELL RESPECTED FOR
CONSISTENTLY OPERATING WITH
INTEGRITY RESPECT AND GRATITUDE
FOR HIS LIFE HIS FAMILY AND HIS
JOB. IN THE SUMMER OF TWO
THOUSAND SEVENTEEN. JEREMY
MARRIED THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE
MEGAN. WHO HE MET DURING HIS
BRIEF STINT PRACTICING LAW.
JEREMY LIKE TO CALL MEGAN THE
BOX AND SAID SHE CONSTANTLY
EDITED HIS WORK. JEREMY AND
MEGAN BUILT THEIR LIVES HERE IN
SACRAMENTO THEY ADDED SWEET
LITTLE JORDAN TO THEIR FAMILY IN
TWO THOUSAND EIGHTEEN. AND JUST
LAST YEAR. IN THE MIDST OF
JEREMY'S BATTLE. THEY ADDED
THEIR TWIN BABY DAUGHTERS. WELL
JEREMY'S HOME LIFE WAS
COMPLETELY OVER RUN BY FOUR
WOMEN AND LITTLE GIRLS THAT HE
LOVED THE MOST IN THIS WORLD. HE
ALSO MADE TIME FOR HIS VAST AND
DEEP FRIENDSHIPS MANY OF HIS
FRIENDS ARE HERE WITH US IN THE
CHAMBER TODAY. JEREMY BOND ON
THE GOLF COURSE AND THROUGH HIS
DEVOUT FAN SHIP FOR THE SAN
FRANCISCO FORTY NINERS. NEVER
LOSING HIS SENSE OF COMPETITION.
EVEN WHILE FIGHTING ALS HE ASKED
HIS LONGTIME FRIENDS NOT TO
FORGIVE HIM FOR MISSING GOLF
TOURNAMENTS BECAUSE HE WOULD
NEVER MISS THEM BUT RATHER. TO
LET HIM HIT FROM THE CLOSER
WHITE TEES. I'M SURE HE OUT
DROVE THEM ANYWAY. JEREMY
BATTLED ALS WITH THE SAME HEART
AND INTENSITY AND PERSEVERANCE
BUT HE BROUGHT TO THE CAPITAL
THE FOOTBALL FIELD AND THE GOLF
LINKS EVERYDAY. IN THE
SACRAMENTO ALS WALK JEREMY LET
TEAMERS. WHICH WAS A TEAM OF
OVER A HUNDRED CAPITAL COMMUNITY
MEMBERS FRIENDS AND FAMILY. WHO
RAISED TENS OF THOUSANDS OF
DOLLARS FOR ALS AND WE ALL WORE
THESE RED SHIRTS THAT I HAVE ON
TODAY AN OBVIOUS NOD TO HIS
BELOVED SAN FRANCISCO FORTY
NINERS. IN TWO THOUSAND AND
TWENTY TWO HE SUCCESSFULLY
FOUGHT FOR BUDGET FUNDING FOR IT
HERE HE WAS ABLE TO SECURE TWO
MILLION DOLLARS TOWARDS FUNDING
FOR ALS ASSOCIATION. I ASKED THE
NUMBER OF JEREMY'S FRIENDS TO
SHARE WITH ME A FAVORITE STORY
OR TRAIT ABOUT HIM. EACH ONE
TALKED ABOUT HIS EXTRAORDINARY
ATHLETICISM AND TENACITY. HIS
LOVE FOR MEGAN. AND HIS GIRLS
BUT THEY ALSO UNIFORMLY TOLD ME
THAT JEREMY WAS A MAN WHO SOUGHT
OUT A DIVERSITY OF INPUT. HE
VALUED THE PROFESSIONAL
INTELLIGENCE OF HIS FEMALE
PEERS. AND ASK THEM OFTEN FOR
THEIR THOUGHTS IN CONTRIBUTIONS
. HE LOVED BEING A PART OF THIS
CAPITAL COMMUNITY AND THIS
COMMUNITY LOVED HIM BACK. JEREMY
SPIRIT PASSION AND HEART. WILL
BE SORELY MISSED. IF YOU'RE
LUCKY. AT SOME POINT IN YOUR
LIFE A PERSON WILL COME ALONG.

THEIR JOURNEY AND AS A RESULT OF
