Jeremiah Joseph Fox
January 20, 1980 ~ August 21, 2022
Jeremiah Joseph Fox, 42, of Nashville, passed away August 21, 2022.
Jeremiah was born January 20, 1980 in Fort Polk, Louisiana. His life was dedicated to Jesus Christ at Trevlac Pentecostal Church. If you were around him enough, you would learn that Jeremiah loved to sing, and rap along with his favorite songs. He loved art and being an artist. He especially loved leaving his mark on the world through his tattoo artwork. Amongst many things, Jeremiah loved doing woodwork and carvings. He always had a knife that he was doing tricks with. Jeremiah had a huge heart, especially when it came to animals……. and anyone who brought him a Big Mac from McDonalds. Most of all, Jeremiah loved his family, especially his children. They were his bright spot in the dark, cloudy days of life. He will always be remembered and deeply missed.
Jeremiah leaves behind his parents, Kevin and Lisa Bristow Leech; his children Ty Johnson, Lydia Fox, and step-child, Holly Kinser all of Bloomington; step-children Jared and Shane Kinser both of Bloomington; grandfathers Rick Lazell and Ed Clark; a sister Amanda (John) Hardin of Freetown; a brother Justin Fox of Franklin; nieces Riley Bills, Erin LeMaster, Rebecca Billings, and Alycia Billings; a great-nephew Jace LeMaster. He was preceded in death by his brother Joshua Jason Fox.
A celebration of Jeremiah’s life will be held at a later date.
Memorial contributions may be made to Jewell – Rittman Family Funeral Home to assist with final expenses.

Bub we will love and miss you forever. Our memories of you as a young boy eating Big Macs with JR and your love of corn on the cob and pineapple upside down cake will always make us smile. You are forever in our hearts. ❤️❤️
Jerimiah, I remember babysitting you when you were a little guy. You screamed and cried the whole time your mom and dad were out for the evening. I was 6 months pregnant and thought it would be good practice for me….. I seriously asked David if it was to late for an abortion. You scared me . I couldn’t make you stop crying. I now know you felt the love of your mom and dad and I wasn’t them. You Knew at a young age where you were loved. Rest In Peace.
My sweet Bubba!!! I don’t even know how to stomach the rest of my days being alone without you… My heart is broken into shattered pieces… My memories I will carry forever you always had me I always felt safe knowing you was right there. You was the best big brother you keep me safe when I was scared you let me sleep with you read me books and even let me wet the bed and not get mad at me lol 😂 You even allowed me to about kill us driving you to ER while you was having kidney stone when I didn’t know how drive a stick we both learned lessons that day ❤️❤️❤️
Jeremy was always welcome at the howards house on lanam ridge. The one small, narrow & dark gravel road of plum creek connected our parents houses. Jeremy would say we were going fishing or bike riding but instead spent that time holding me by my feet over the helmsburg bridge until i repeated that jeremy was king of the woods😆 We built tree houses & dirt bike ramps & road our bikes until sun down to the little helmsburg store. Thank you for always calling me your sis jeremy! Much LOVE❤️
I love and miss you more then words can say! My world will never be the same 😭💔
Though I only knew you 5 years, I felt I knew you rather well based on your stories I sat and listened to, based on how you goofed off and you were one really goofy guy.. I know you in the stories your brother told me… you were one hell of a guy. Justin loves you so much and misses you daily. His who world fell apart, you will be so very missed every single day. But we know you’re still here, there’s signs of you everywhere.
