It is with a very heavy heart that I send out this email.  Our dear friend and beloved colleague Jeremy Torres was in a fatal car accident Sunday, May 22, 2016.  To say that Jeremy was a force like no other in the department is an understatement.  He was the champion of all students; a truly extraordinary teacher and mentor who inspired everyone who came in contact with him to reach higher and go further.  He was a passionate and imaginative artist who believed that theatre spoke best when it came from the heart and whose productions were a testament to the power of creativity.  But most of all, Jeremy was a sensitive and kind human being whose generosity knew no bounds.  So many have been changed forever - made better and stronger - by knowing Jeremy.  It is impossible for me to imagine the department and the world without him.  His spirit will always live with us, but his laughter and love will be missed terribly.
 
Funeral services for Jeremy Torres will be on Wednesday at 2:00 pm at Well Spring United Methodist Church,  6200 Williams Drive, Georgetown, TX 78633.  The family invites you to come and celebrate his life.
Jeremy's family has requested that in lieu of flowers, memorial donations be made to Wellspring United Methodist Church at www.wellumc.org/giving or to the Bobcat Pride Scholarship Fund at www.bobcatpridescholarship.com in honor of Jeremy.
