Honor the legacy of Jeremiah Irwin and help veterans in need

On March 23, 2025, we lost a beloved friend, a dedicated leader, and a remarkable Marine Corps veteran, Jeremiah Irwin. Jeremiah served our country with honor for 13 years, rising to the rank of Staff Sergeant before being discharged from active duty just last year. He was not only a leader but a beacon of hope and support for his fellow Marines, always putting their needs before his own.

After his service, Jeremiah pursued his passion for education at Duquesne University, where he studied to become a history teacher. His dream was to inspire the next generation, sharing his love for history and the lessons he learned through his military service. Jeremiah’s commitment to serving others extended far beyond the line of duty. He was a true mentor and friend to many.

Tragically, Jeremiah's battle with mental health challenges led to his untimely passing. His story is not just a personal loss but a stark reminder of the struggles faced by many veterans. The rising rates of suicide among our servicemen and women are alarming, and it is imperative that we take action to address this crisis.

To honor Jeremiah’s memory and to support those who continue to fight their battles, I am organizing this fundraiser to benefit Stop Soldier Suicide, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing veteran suicides and providing essential resources to those in need. I invite you to join in making a difference in the lives of veterans and their families.

Every dollar raised will be donated directly to the Stop Soldier Suicide foundation through this GoFundMe page. Any contribution, no matter how small, will help provide vital support, resources, and hope to those struggling with mental health challenges.

Thank you for your support in honoring my friend Jeremiah. We all miss you dearly, buddy, and I hope you've found the peace you truly deserve. Semper Fidelis, Staff Sergeant.
