Jeremy Edward Federico

With heavy hearts, we announce the sudden and unexpected passing of Jeremy Edward Federico, who left this world on February 21, 2026, at the age of 49. Jeremy was born on December 6, 1976, in Kent, Washington, and though his time with us was far too brief, he filled every moment with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories. Jeremy was the beloved son of the late Lou Federico and Debby Earnhardt, who, along with his sister April Federico, predeceased him. He is survived by his cherished wife, Melissa Federico, with whom he shared an incredible journey of love and companionship. Jeremy and Melissa married on May 3, 2010, in Corpus Cove, Texas, and together they built a beautiful life, filled with excitement and adventures, over their 25 years together. A devoted father, Jeremy leaves behind his loving children: daughters Jamie, Megan, and Emily, and his son, Nicholas. He was also the proud grandfather of Rachel Roach, who brought an extra sparkle to his life. His siblings, Louie Federico, David Federico, and Jennifer Heggham (Jake), along with many nieces and nephews, will forever hold his memory close to their hearts. Jeremy was an industrious man, owning Cen-Tex Lock and Key in Killeen, Texas, where he dedicated several years of his life to his craft. He inherited a knack for building and fixing computers from his father, a skill that he not only excelled in but also enjoyed immensely. Above all, Jeremy adored spending time with his family. His home was always filled with laughter, often sparked by his love for reciting movie quotes and performing goofy antics to bring smiles to those around him. Jeremy was known for his kindness, often taking time to play ball with neighborhood kids, spreading joy wherever he went. In the quiet moments, Jeremy found solace in video games or watching movie, a pastime he often shared with his children, creating bonds and memories that will be treasured forever. Jeremy’s life was a testament to the power of love and laughter. Though his time on Earth was unexpectedly cut short, his spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. His family would like to express their gratitude for the outpouring of love and support during this difficult time. They wish for everyone to remember Jeremy as he was—a man full of life and love who touched the hearts of many. A private funeral ceremony will be held to honor Jeremy's life and legacy. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you honor Jeremy’s memory by sharing a smile or a kind word with someone today, just as he would have. Jeremy was loved and will be missed by many. May his soul rest in peace, and may his memory be a blessing to us all.
