Curtis Jeremie Quarterman

Curtis Jeremie Quarterman was born May 03, 1989 in Worth County.

He graduated from Valdosta High School, Class of 2008 and was proud to be a Wildcat. Jeremie was a full-time employee of Frito-Lay Merchandiser for over five years in Valdosta. He had a heart as genuine as gold and a wisdom that changed your outlook when you read his quotes or experienced his presence. He was a hospice volunteer at Serenity Palliative & Hospice Care of Valdosta, where the compassion of God blessed him to help others in their time of crisis. Jeremie was a member of Freedom Worship Church and a prophetic member of Doc, Prop Payne Ministries which was founded by his mother. In the words of his Uncle Jimmy, Jeremie was amazing.

And the Lord said unto Jeremie Sunday, August 26, 2012, , “You are now ready to be offered and the time of your departure is at hand. You have fought a good fight, you have finished your course, you have kept the faith. Henceforth is laid up for you a crown of righteousness. Well done, good and faithful servant; enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.”
