On New Year’s Day, the 53-year-old Mayor of Kingstown actor shared a heartfelt Instagram post reflecting on the terrifying snowplow accident that occurred on January 1, 2023. The incident left him with severe injuries and brought him dangerously close to death, but thanks to the efforts of medical professionals and first responders, he survived and made an inspiring recovery.
The post featured a powerful image of Jeremy in a hospital bed, surrounded by loved ones. Alongside the photo, he penned an emotional message to express his gratitude for the people who helped him heal.
“Happy New Year blessings to you all… Ringing in my second ‘ReBirthday’ today,” Jeremy began. “I send out my love, respect, and gratitude for the army of people that it took to put me back together again. Thank you to each and every nurse, doctor, first responder… I literally owe you my life.”
He didn’t stop there, singling out those closest to him for their bravery and support during his darkest moments. “All my heart goes out to my beautiful, brave nephew and the angels (my neighbors) who jumped to my aid and endured the chaos for 45 long minutes on the icy asphalt New Year’s morning,” Jeremy wrote. “I’m so sorry all the haunting images I imprinted on you all (I’ll spare you all from the meat grinding images).”
The actor, who has since returned to work and resumed his career, reflected on the immense support he received during his recovery. “My gratitude list is very long… With the amount of love and prayers that flooded in from you all around the world (needing each and every one of them), my family never leaving my side, with some divine intervention, a bit of luck, and a whole lot of miracles… I stand strong again,” he shared.
Jeremy’s post radiated a deep sense of appreciation for life and the strength he’s gained through his journey. “More Open. More Loved. More Connected. And f***ing BLESSED to take my next step, to take MY NEXT BREATH,” he wrote passionately. “Thank you with every fiber and cell in my body. I love you ALL ❤️.”
