Jeremy R. Sweet 1977-2023

Jeremy will always be remembered for his kindness, sense of humor and smile. He never met a stranger and loved helping everyone.

He was born Dec. 14, 1977, in Cheyenne, Wyo., the son of Jay Sweet and Sandra Stewart Howard, and moved to the Youngstown area in 1993.

Jeremy attended ITT Technical Institute, studying computer networking, and was a member of Venture Church. He was currently employed with Penex Aluminum as an inventory production worker.

Jeremy enjoyed being outdoors, hunting, fishing and spending time with his family. He also loved playing cornhole, especially with his family and children, but had a true passion for playing poker and would play anywhere at anytime with anyone.

Jeremy was preceded in death by his brother, Jason Sweet; nephew, Brian Sweet; and an uncle, Morley Sweet IV.
