Norby Family,

We are so sad for your loss. I have known Jeremy for several years through officiating basketball tournaments. We did several together and we would have so much fun during and after the games.
I will cherish those moments forever.

RIP my friend.

Norby family-
I can't express how deeply sorry I am for your loss. Jeremy was such a great person and will be truly missed! When our plane got delayed in Billings a few weeks ago, and so we didn't miss our flight to Seattle, he drove us to Billings and also someone he didn't know so they didn't miss their flight! We talked about insurance the whole way, which definitely bored my husband and the other traveler! You are all in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time!

To the Norby Family:

I'm so sorry for this heartbreaking loss.

I had the utmost respect for Jeremy. He was a great basketball player, great competitor, but an even better person. I have many fond memories of him as we travelled around to various tourneys/camps in the summertime way back in HS.
That picture at the top of this page exemplifies his personality perfectly.

Take care - Bryce Harrison

Dear Lorilee and family,
I am heartbroken for you, your family, and the community. Jeremy was funny, always welcoming, generous, and deeply kind. His heart for his family, his friends, and his community have always been an example to me, and always will be. I appreciated our visits, his leadership, and his genuine, towering love for all. Richland County will always have a void where he stood, but so many lives overflow with everything he gave. His memory is a blessing to so, so many. I am heartbroken he is gone so soon.

Lorilee and Family-
So very sorry for this heartbreaking loss. Jeremy was one of kind. Always the first to say hello. Always the first to lend a hand. Never afraid to put in the effort. I will forever cherish our Roadwarrior days, college years at MSU, and insurance outings all over the state.

May the Lord Bless give you Peace.

We are so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to the Norby family and Jeremy's work family at Seitz Insurance. Words seem inadequate to express the sadness I feel at Jeremy's death. I wish you love and courage to face the days ahead.

Jeremy was a colleague and a friend. The first time I met him was in Billings at a CIC workshop. After the workshop, we had some time to kill and went to dinner. After dinner, he said that I looked like a poker play and invited me to play with him at a local casino. It was an unexpected invitation given that the invitation was made to a 60-year-old-man from a young 30-something colleague whom I had never met. I still smile about his gracious invitation. I had a great time sitting at the table with him and joking about my horrible poker skills. He was a natural born relationship builder, bringing charm and humor to every conversation. It was one of the many reasons that he was so popular and respected among our colleagues.

I will certainly miss his presence in my life.

Many Blessings,

Nick

To Jeremy's wife, children and mother ~ my husband and I had the privilege of joining Jeremy for dinner here in Dillon on the evening of the 17th. He was here for our Safety Fair ~ yes he drove all the way from Sidney to attend! It was my husband's first time to meet him and Ron immediately felt like Jeremy was a lifetime friend. He spoke so lovingly of his father & mother but when he told us about his wife and kids ~ well, that is something I shall never forget. His love for you all was so vividly expressed ~ and he was more than comfortable expressing the way he felt about his family to us. I want you to know that when he was away from you, you were always in his heart and in his conversations. Cling to those beautiful memories. I hope this brings you solace as you grieve.

Sending many prayers and my deepest condolences. Jeremy was one of those guys who you just knew was kind and caring to all who crossed his path. I visited with him two days prior and he was the last person to wish me happy birthday. You both raised some beautiful children and I know this because I have witnessed that same kind and caring personality of his in Ave who is in my son's class. May the Lord comfort you during this difficult time.

Lorilee & Family:
My thoughts and prayers go out to you during this time. I had the pleasure of knowing Jeremy and working together on many "insurance" projects with him.
He always came to me with the craziest of ideas and wanted my opinion on whether they would work. But regardless of my opinion, once those ideas were in his head, nothing was going to stop him! He was always working on something "new and exciting" that would help him positively impact more individuals. He cared deeply for his clients and the partnerships he'd built in our crazy industry.
75% of our conversations were had while taking our kids to various sporting events, where we'd find 5 minutes to catch-up on life, this year's beet crop and finish with a minute or two of outstanding business items.
He treasured his role as a Dad and Husband above all.....always talking about how smart Lorilee was, how proud he was of all three kids for various reasons.
With Jeremy, you always knew exactly what you were going to get. Honesty, integrity, hard-work and a handshake businessman.
I've been struggling with having a commitment that will prevent me from attending his celebration of life....but I take comfort in knowing that Jeremy is up there saying "why the heck would you go to my funeral when you are sponsoring an event that improves the lives of kids in your community?"
I always called him the "Mayor of Sidney" since he also was so involved in bettering the community....I have no idea where he found the time or energy. To which he'd always respond "My uncle is actually the mayor!" I know I'll honor his legacy by pouring my own time and resources into youth in my own community.
I can already see Jeremy up there trying to sell the Lord himself one of those "crazy ideas" while offering to help in any capacity.

Rest easy my friend. God Bless.

We’ve know Jeremy for years, back when Jeremy went to SOTV Lutheran church- my husband had him in his Sunday school class. And later Jeremy had my son in his Sunday school class. He has left a big hole in our community!

It broke my heart to hear about Jeremy. I remember him fondly from childhood as a friend. And when our school started working with his company he was our rep and always was excited to say hi and chat.

My sympathy’s to all Jeremy’s friends and family. You’ve all been in my thoughts and prayers!

Norby Family,

Played against Jeremy during high school basketball and always knew him as a great competitor. Jeremy was the epitome of Sydney Eagles basketball! Tough, hard nosed and determined kid you knew got his strength from somewhere other than a weight room. He was the type of player that as an opposing player, fan, parent or coach you just didn’t like; but at the same time you wanted him on your team.

I got to know Jeremy when we played together in the Eastern A all star team for the Sheraton Classic, and then on a co-Ed Intramural team our freshmen year at Montana State. It didn’t take long for anyone to get to enjoy Norby’s company and how great of a guy he was. From the short time I got to know him I can only imagine how great of a husband and father he grew to be.

So sorry for his passing and the whole left in his community and family.

Once again a great shock, unbelieveable just one year after his dad and my friend Rocky there is another bad news, which I found out today...

My mind is with you and your family in these hard days as I will remember Jeremy and his father as they have always been...
