Obituary for Jeremy Eugene Jennings | Wood Funeral Home & Crematory
Jeremy Eugene Jennings, 49, passed away on July 27, 2023, in a tragic car accident.
Jeremy was born October 26, 1973, in Idaho Falls, Idaho. The world became a brighter place on that day. Jeremy was a happy child and was born with a generational love of animals. He always had dogs, horses, and the need for speed with dirt bikes and ATVs. As he grew older, that love grew stronger as he enjoyed snowmobiles, fast pickups, Razors, and a Harley Davidson.
As a young child, he enjoyed playing sports: baseball, basketball, football, and wrestling. He grew up attending schools in Idaho Falls where he joined the golf and ski teams, earning many trophies for his talents. He excelled in everything he did. Jeremy graduated from Idaho Falls High School in 1992.
Jeremy loved the great outdoors. Camping, fishing, boating, riding horses, hunting, spending time in the mountains where he was close to nature, his Grandpa Gene Jennings, and parents, Dennis and Julie Jennings. If there was a stream or a river, Jeremy was fishing.
On April 28, 2004, Jeremy married the love of his life, Madeline Nicholas-Jennings, in St. Lucia. Jeremy and Madeline made their home in Idaho Falls where Jeremy worked for the INL as the Sample Handling Specialist and Critical Lift Supervisor.
Jeremy and Madeline were blessed in 2005, with their first daughter, Abbigail Jean Jennings. Three years later, in 2008, they were blessed with a second daughter, Grace Nicole Jennings. Jeremy was an amazing Dad who loved his girls with all his heart. They were his world.
The love of his daughters was immeasurable and was apparent in everything he did. From the day they were born, they were the center of his world. With Abby, he watched her as she played soccer and excelled scholastically. She loved talking to her Dad where she gained wisdom and confidence to help prepare her for her many adventures in life. Jeremy was the ultimate Cheer Dad for Gracie. He spent numerous hours and weekends at cheer competitions across the country. He never missed a competition or an opportunity to show his love and support. Jeremy and Gracie spent many hours on the river fishing and boating and riding anything that would go fast. Even though he left this earth too soon, the legacy of his life will be honored and lived through his daughters.
Jeremy had a love for the Snake River and the Swan Valley area where he would spend his summers floating the river, camping on the banks, fishing, and boating at Palisades Lake. Jeremy was an avid hunter who loved being outdoors where he spent many years with his close friends. His yearly hunting trip with his friend, Don Sucher, was always a highlight of his life. He was able to spend his last days with his wife, Madeline, and daughters on the river.
Jeremy is survived by his loving wife, Madeline Nicholas-Jennings of Idaho Falls; daughters, Abbigail Jean Jennings and Grace Nicole Jennings, both of Idaho Falls; his parents, Dennis Eugene and Julie Jennings of Prescott, AZ; his grandmother, Verda Longhurst of Idaho Falls; and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. He is also survived by several lifelong friends whom he considered his brothers.
Jeremy was preceded in death by his grandfathers, Eugene (Gene) W. Jennings and Robert L. Longhurst; mother-in-law, Patricia Jean Nicholas; and brother-in-law, Jack Arnold Nicholas Jr.

James Roberts Obituary | Oct 31, 2024 | Ammon, ID
James Ryan Roberts, age 40, of Idaho Falls, passed away on October 31, 2024.
He was born September 7, 1984, to Scott and Georgann Roberts in Rexburg, Idaho. He was the third of four children. His siblings are Aimee, Devin and Jordan. Ryan graduated from Bonneville High School in 2003 with high honors. Shortly after, he married Nicole Staker then later divorced. They have one daughter, Kaitlyn.
On January 14, 2006, Ryan married his eternal companion, Jennifer Dieringer, in the Idaho Falls Temple. They have five sons, Logan, Jaxson, Tycen, Masen, and Camren and one, long-awaited-for daughter, Haivyn.
They made their home in Idaho Falls, where Ryan worked for several years for Melaleuca until he joined the Army with his MOS being Infantry. He served two honorable tours, one in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. He was a Staff Sergeant with his Expert Marksmanship and Combat Infantryman Badge. He gave his heart and soul to the cause of the United States of America, while Jen and their children soldiered on at home. After the military, Ryan returned to work for Melaleuca until shortly before his death. Through diligent determination Ryan also earned his B.S. in Business Management.
Ryan found escape from the PTSD and scars of war by climbing the majestic mountains of Idaho. He found camaraderie with friends and bonding with his sons during the thrill of those climbs. Ryan had a passion for weight-lifting and worked hard to stay fit. He had an easy smile. His humor and wit left people with their cheeks hurting from laughter. His love for his kids and wife ran deep. Jen and Ryan loved having their kids fall asleep, piled on their bed, sometimes pets included. His thoughts were always focused on how to be a better dad and he fought to be a better man.
Ryan delighted in wearing novelty socks no matter the occasion. We invite all to wear novelty socks to the services.

Idaho gas prices continue to drop
TWIN FALLS, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) — Idaho drivers are saving money despite upticks in fuel demands and drops in oil supplies.
The current average price for a gallon of regular fuel in Idaho is $3.28, which is nine cents less than a week ago, according to AAA Idaho Public Affairs Director Matthew Conde.
Despite the drop, Idaho is still 8th in the country for most expensive fuel behind states like Hawaii, California, Washington and more.
“For most of last week, the cost of crude oil dipped below $70 per barrel. That translated to relief at the pump, despite a slight surge in fuel demand,” Cone said. “We’ll continue to monitor the crude oil market in the aftermath of the general election.”
The national average sits at $3.10 per gallon, which is three cents cheaper than last week and 19 cents less than a month ago.
