Jeremy Bernard Chick

In the wee hours of the morning, the world got a little less cool. Jeremy Bernard Chick, known to fans and friends alike as Dj Jroc or Jgrizzal (depending on the day and the story behind it), exited the party of life.

Born on the 24th of July, 1986, in the bustling city of Chicago, Illinois, Jeremy was a luminary who brought his own flavor of charm and charisma to the world. The son of Yulinda Chick and big brother to Maurice Chick, he was a beacon of happiness and unity for his family, and the unofficial "coolest dude alive" - a title he earned and wore with humble pride. Jeremy has been spinning the disc of life with a unique blend of thoughtfulness, love, and support, always ensuring that everyone around him was having the time of their lives. His contagious smile was the highlight of any party or family barbeque. Indeed, as the saying goes, "Music is the strongest form of magic," and Jeremy, with his love for music, was a wizard of epic proportions. He didn't just play music - he lived it. His love for rhythm and flow was so profound that he would play music for any occasion - even for something as simple as waking up. And nobody ever asked him to turn it down because, well, it was Jroc.

Jeremy was not just a man of music, but also a man of the people. His family was his number one fan club. His love and concern for them were as boundless as his music playlist. His son, Trey Johnson, was his biggest hit, and he loved him with all his heart. He was the embodiment of the quote, "Happiness is only real when shared." And share it, he did. Jeremy led by example, always seeking to spread joy and happiness, like a DJ dropping the freshest tracks. As we bid farewell to Jeremy, we remember him not just as Dj Jroc or Jgrizzal, but as a man who made the world a cooler place with his music, love, and, above all, his respect for others. He has left us with a playlist of memories that we will cherish forever.

His mother, Yulinda Chick, his brother, Maurice Chick, his son, Trey Johnson, along with a symphony of loving nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends, survive him. To continue celebrating the life of our beloved Jeremy, we invite you to share your favorite memories and upload photos to his memorial page. Whether it's a story behind one of his nicknames or a memory of him playing his favorite track, we want to hear it all. After all, the music never stops with Jroc.
