Jeremy Stratton

Jeremy Stevan Stratton, age 50, of Jenison, passed away on Saturday, May 16, 2026, surrounded by his loving family after a courageous battle with cancer. He was born on October 31, 1975, to Stevan and Linda Stratton. Jeremy faced his illness with strength and determination, always trying to stay strong for the family he loved so deeply, even while carrying his own pain. He truly lived life on his own terms; he loved riding his Harley - loud and fast - and spending time with his friends. One of his favorite sayings was “Drive fast, take chances,” which perfectly captured his adventurous spirit and love for life. Jeremy was a hardworking and dedicated man who spent the last 17 years with Magic Transportation, where he built lasting friendships and earned the respect of those he worked alongside. He had a smile and laugh that could light up a room. Jeremy loved fiercely and would do anything for the people he cared about. Bold when needed, yet soft-hearted at the core, Jeremy was a loyal friend, an amazing husband, and someone whose presence made life brighter for everyone around him. He will be greatly missed for his love, laughter, and unforgettable spirit and will live on forever in the hearts of those who knew him. 

Jeremy is survived by his loving wife, Michelle Stratton, the love of his life; stepson, Zander DiMaggio; his furbabies who were his kids, Jagerbomb, Sambuca (Buki, aka Baby Buki) and Mr. Beavs - all spoiled rotten and deeply loved. He is also survived by his parents, Stevan and Linda Stratton; sister, Jessica (Jason) Lavengood and their sons, Jordan, Jacob and Jackson; brother, Jason Stratton and his children, Connor and Violet; sisters-in-law, Theresa (Joe) Mazzola and their children, and Mary Mitchell and her daughter; stepfather-in-law, Daniel Van’t Hof (Elaine); aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and extended family members.

A visitation to celebrate Jeremy’s life will be held on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, from 6:00-9:00 p.m. at Matthysse Kuiper DeGraaf Funeral Home, 4145 Chicago Dr. SW, Grandville. In lieu of flowers, those who wish may make memorial contributions to the Humane Society of West Michigan.
