Jeremiah Matthew McCarthy

Age 34
Loving Partner, Father, Son, Grandson, Brother, Uncle, Cousin and Friend.

Jeremiah Jere Matthew McCarthy died suddenly and tragically on Sunday February 28, 2016, the day after his 34th birthday after being struck by a car while walking home.

Jere was born in Stamford, CT, lived much of his life in Kennett Square, PA, and more recently in Hockessin, DE with Angel King the love of his life, and their 2 beautiful children Madison Joan (8) and Joshua Matthew (5).

He was the loving son of Jeremiah M. McCarthy of Philadelphia, PA and Rosemary A. McGovern of Hockessin, DE; brother of Dr. Katie McCarthy of Gladwyne, PA, and Frederick McCarthy of Avondale, PA.

Jere was a 2000 graduate of Salesianum School and a 2014 graduate of Wesley College where he earned a BS in business. He was a Real estate agent for Beiler Campbell Realtors, but was best known for being a jack of all trades. His most cherished role however was being a Dad and he was proud to stay home to care for Madison and Josh from the time they were born. He loved his beagle Girlie and spending time with his large close knit extended family.

He was a man of few words with a huge heart and a quiet smile. His life was rich with love. He will be deeply missed.

In addition to his parents, Angel, son and daughter, he is survived by his Maternal Grandmother Helen A. McGovern, brother Fred (Fiance Jaclynn Hopkins), sister Katie, and three nieces Ella, C.C., and Annie as well as many beloved Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins. He was predeceased by a brother Jeremiah Martin.
