1976 ~ 2004
Jeremy Louis Worthen, 27, of Salt Lake City, died Sunday night November 28, 2004 of cardiac arrest.
Jeremy was born on December 7, 1976 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to Leroy Worthen and Norma Kiszka. He lived for two years in Grants, New Mexico, and three years in Kenedy, Texas before arriving in Vernal where he lived for 19 years. He graduated from Uintah High School with the class of 1995 and attended The College of Eastern Utah in Price. While in high school he enjoyed playing in the band and swimming on the swim team. Jeremy married Tiffany Brockelbank (Eaton) of Vernal and they had one son. They later divorced and Jeremy moved to Salt Lake City. Jeremy was always interested in computers, how they worked, how to program them, and most of all, playing games on them. He would look far and wide to find the challenge of a new game. He also loved music of all kinds. He would spend hours just sitting and letting the music flow over him and then he would try to explain how he was lost in the music.
He is survived by two sisters and two brothers, Lori Caha of Lincoln, Nebraska; Brandi Worthen of Vernal; Cody Worthen of Vernal; and Tyemen Worthen of Vernal. He is also survived by his son, Joseph Lee Worthen of Salt Lake City and his parents Leroy Worthen of Vernal and Norma Smart of Kenedy, Texas.
He was loved by all. He would do anything to help everyone he knew. He has an empty place in our lives and will be greatly missed.
