In Loving Memory of Jeremy Dempster: A Pillar of Our Football Club
It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we share the sudden and unexpected passing of our long-serving club treasurer, Jeremy Dempster. Jeremy was more than just a key member of our football club—he was a guiding presence, a loyal friend, and a tireless volunteer whose efforts shaped the very foundation of who we are today.
For over 20 years, Jeremy gave his time, energy, and heart to our club. From coaching junior teams in the early days to stepping into the demanding role of treasurer, he was always ready to lend a hand wherever it was needed. Whether it was handling the day-to-day finances, organizing fundraisers, or staying late to lock up after a match, Jeremy did it all—not for recognition, but because he loved the club and believed in what we stood for.
Jeremy’s commitment was unwavering. Week in and week out, year after year, he worked quietly and humbly behind the scenes, making sure things ran smoothly. His knowledge of the club’s history, his calm and steady leadership, and his dry sense of humor made him a cornerstone of our community. Many of our current players, volunteers, and committee members got their start under Jeremy’s watchful eye, learning not just about football but about dedication, teamwork, and integrity.
More than just a treasurer or a coach, Jeremy was a mentor and friend to many. He had time for everyone, from young players just starting out to veteran members who had been around as long as he had. He brought people together with his steady presence and quiet encouragement. His legacy is not only in the roles he held but in the lives he touched and the community he helped to build.
His sudden loss has left a profound void in our hearts and within the club. The pitch feels quieter, the clubhouse colder, and the season ahead more daunting without him. But in our grief, we also remember and celebrate the incredible contributions Jeremy made. We will honor his memory by continuing the work he was so passionate about—nurturing young players, supporting one another, and keeping our club strong and united.
To Jeremy’s family and loved ones, please know that our entire club mourns with you. You have our deepest sympathies and unwavering support. Jeremy was one of a kind, and he will never be forgotten.
Rest in peace, Jeremy Dempster. Your dedication, your kindness, and your legacy will live on in every match played, every goal scored, and every team sheet written. Thank you for everything.
