Jeremy Todd Anderson

Jeremy Todd Anderson was born April 16, 1977 to Bruce Scott Anderson and Christine White Anderson in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Jeremy passed away on April 25th at his home in Meridian, Idaho at the age of 40. In his early life he was surrounded by a large extended family who loved him very much. He had two brothers, Michael and Aaron, and one sister, Debbie all of whom he stayed close with throughout his life. He was blessed with four loving Grandparents and he had a special bond with his Grandfather White with whom he shared a love of flying. In addition to these family members he was blessed with numerous cousins, some of which became his best friends. Jeremy served a successful mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Perth Australia mission from 1996-1998. He loved that experience and continued his love of the Lord throughout his life. It was after this mission that through divine intervention he met the love of his life. Miriam Claire Emfield came into his life and four months later they were married on March 25, 2000. Not long after the wedding he welcomed with great excitement his first child, Kiana Nicole Anderson. With time he welcomed his beloved son, Keegan Todd, and later his second daughter, Jazlyn Capri. To Jeremy, there was nothing more important than his wife and children. He loved to spend time with them and would take them on many adventures such as the Oregon coast, amusement parks, cruises, and camping. But it was the everyday moments that meant the most, such as science projects with his son or braiding the girls’ hair before sending them to school. Jeremy was talented in many things including computers, technology, service, and looking out for others. He was a great handy man and loved to learn how things worked by taking them apart and putting them back together and was usually successful at accounting for all the disassembled parts…usually. He used those talents in serving others, and blessing his family with projects around his home such as amazing and customized bedrooms. Although he was talented in many things, his passion was without a doubt…flying. He had many jobs in his life including, moving pipe on a farm, working in the movie theater, and sales at QWEST, but it was piloting helicopters that brought him the most satisfaction. He would light up while talking about his adventures with flying and never considered any of it work. He truly found a profession that brought him joy. Jeremy is survived by his loving wife Miriam Emfield Anderson, his children Kiana Nicole, Keegan Todd, and Jazlyn Capri. His parents Bruce Scott Anderson and Christine White Anderson. In-Laws Scott Emfield, Donna Emfield. His siblings Michael (Lisa) Anderson, Aaron (Kelli) Anderson, and Debbie (Chad) Johnson. Brothers and sisters-in-law Jared (Lyndi) Emfield, AnnaMarie(Daniel) Miller, Rachel(Ben) Frahs, Adam(Natasha) Emfield, and Paul(Kristin) Emfield. Many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews and friends. Jeremy was a beloved husband, father, son, brother, cousin, uncle, and friend. He will be missed by all.
