Jeremy Paul Bedford went home to our Heavenly Father on Sunday, March 24,
2019, in Mandeville, LA at the age of 36. He was born in Metairie, LA on March
16, 1983, attended Fontainebleau High School in Mandeville, and lived in St.
Tammany Parish for most of his life. Talented mechanic of Bedford Automotive,
Jeremy often gave advice and help on his own time to a friend, relative, or client
in need. Fond of the waterways of Southeast Louisiana and the sugar white sands
of Northwest Florida, he enjoyed fishing, boating, scalloping and sunning on the
beach. A fitness buff for many years, he was also a big fan of all things Duke
basketball and enjoyed target practice and recreational shooting. Jeremy
appreciated good cuisine, often experimenting with cooking and libations, and
generously shared his crawfish boiling expertise whenever called upon. He
attended Church of the King in Mandeville, LA, cherished his family and friends,
and was the proud and loving father of daughter, McKaylah, who was the apple of
his eye. He will forever be remembered and deeply missed by all who love him.
Jeremy is survived by his beloved daughter McKaylah Sicily Bedford, mother
Marla Boyd Leslie (Bobby), father Edwin Bedford, Jr. (Dale), brother Daniel
Bedford, half-brother Trey Bedford, a niece, nephews, many cousins, several
aunts and uncles, and many special loved ones.
