Obituary of Jeremy Tepper

I have so many memories, but this one stands out. I was working for Steven Van Zandt and outlaw country was still in the planning stages. We went to see the Mavericks at Irving Plaza and Jeremy was the DJ. I introduced them and the rest is history. I’ve always been so proud of that. Jeremy had many many gigs but this one was the real deal. Full time, benefits, perfect fit. I lost touch with Steven but not with Jeremy. Bella had her first birthday party in our old office. My heart and love goes out to the entire family and OC community. Much love Gloria

Jeremy was so gracious to get us tickets to a Bruce Springsteen concert in Nashville back in 2009. Got a chance to meet Little Steven backstage and enjoyed the concert tremendously. Always appreciated Jeremy's generosity.

I sat across the hall from Jeremy's office and we greeted each other every day. He was such a down to earth and kind man, and very easy to talk to. With his welcoming spirit and laid back demeanor he was a pleasure to know and I hope this message reaches him so I can say thank you...Thank you for being one of the few people who were kind to me at work. It made a significant impact. Rest easy, friend.

Jeremy added an extra spark to all who knew him and made our lives better by being the man he was . And what an incredible man he was ! I don’t know how he managed to accomplish so much in our rockin , country , honky tonk world , but he was a steady , solid , wizard who constantly and generously lifted us up and added so much to our lives . I’m so grateful to have known him and for all he did for me … and us . My Love goes out to Laura ,Bella and the Tepper family , friends ,and loved ones .

Jeremy gave us our chance to play on Outlaw and had us back four years running; we weren’t anyone, just three cruisers who wrote songs. He was kind, considerate, hilarious, engaging. He cared about the artists but also about the cruisers. There’ll never be another one like him, and we miss him dearly. On behalf of the Unbepamen, we love you and thank you boss for everything. Sail on my friend. I will miss you.
