Jeremiah A. Foster

Jeremiah Antoine Foster was born on April
16, 1981 at Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, TX to Peggy and Robert Lee Foster. He grew
up on Hudspeth Ave in the Harlandale area of
Dallas with his Aunt Jean, Uncle Cleo and Mother for the 1st part of his elementary life.
It is here where he accepted. christ at an early age at Great(er) Memorial Baptist Church and where his big heart and love for people
turned a neighborhood into a family.
He attended John Neely Bryant Elementary School, followed by O.W. Holmes Middle and
F. D. Roosevelt High Schools. During his
grade school years, he participated in basketball, baseball and band and during his
 senior year in 1999 he served as Drum Major
of the Mustang Marching Band. Jeremiah's journey in education culminated in his attainment of a Bachelor's of Business
Administration degree with a concentration in
Marketing from Texas A&M University of
Commerce in May of 2004. It was at Texas A&M where he was initiated into the Eta Phi
Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.

Jeremiah embarked on a storied management career in the world of big-box
retail stores like Staples, Office Max and
Michael's. His dedication, leadership, and unwavering commitment left an indelible
mark on his professional peers and the industry at large. It is also through this career
where "Jay" first met Marlena Flores,
the love of his life, whom he married on July 24, 2016
and shares son Jayden who inherited his father's passion for sports. Jeremiah was a
very active Dad and took great pride in cheering his son on during his many championship baseball and football games
and coaching his soccer team.

Jeremiah's magnetic presence and
captivating charisma made him a stranger to no one. His very essence could light up a
room, and his warmth touched the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Jeremiah's spirit was as strong as it was compassionate. He possessed a remarkable
blend of cunning wit and playful charm, effortlessly captivating everyone he
encountered. He saw life as a game, and his competitive nature, coupled with his alpha spirit, shone through as he engaged in challenges, always reveling in the thrill of showcasing his dominance.
 

Beyond his spirited competitiveness, Jeremiah was a loyal and true friend. His caring nature and genuine concern for those around him were traits that endeared him to
many. He understood the true meaning of
friendship, going above and beyond to make others feel valued and cherished.

Jeremiah gained his angel wings when he
passed away suddenly on August 8, 2023, but his legacy lives on through the love and
memories he leaves behind.
He was preceded in death by his mother Peggy Ann
Foster, who instilled in him the values that shaped his exceptional character. He is
survived and lovingly remembered by his
devoted wife Marlena Foster (San Antonio,TX), son Jayden Edward Foster (San Antonio,
TX), half sister Johnetta Foster (Jacksonville, FL), brothers and sisters-in-law (San Antonio,
TX and Lima, OH), and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends who will forever carry forward his spirit of strength, resilience and compassion.

As we bid farewell to Jeremiah Antoine
Foster, we remember a life well-lived, a heart that touched countless others, and a spirit that will
forever inspire
us. In our grief, may we find solace in the enduring impact he had
on us al. Jay, you will be dearly missed but never forgotten. Rest in peace, dear friend.
