Jeremiah Dustin McGill, 25 of Gulfport, formerly from Long Beach, passed away Wednesday, May 30, 2018. Born on March 27, 1993 in Ocean Springs, MS, he was the only son of the late William Dwight "Chico" McGill and Nancy Sharon Ladner McGill.

Jeremiah Dustin had a gift for the arts, specifically, writing, drawing, and photography. To say he loved movies, Christmas, and all things Disney would be an understatement. He had a movie collection worth envying. He made an incredible transformation when he diligently worked to lose over 100 pounds. He was a freelance gym trainer and loved inspiring and supporting others in their health and fitness journeys. Jeremiah Dustin loved grand gestures and no holiday or birthday will ever be the same for his family and friends. He traveled the world, climbing Mt Fuji, surfing in Australia, exploring wineries and underground cellars in Champagne, France, working on a cacao farm in Hawaii, and visiting the shire in New Zealand. To say he will be deeply missed by his family and friends is an understatement.

We would like to leave you with a quote from Jeremiah Dustin McGill:
We are born books, empty, our pages waiting to be filled. Throughout our lives, our chapters are written without any edit, raw and natural, like the best stories, they are bled onto our pages from our soul. Eventually we reach our final chapter, because all great stories must come to an end, so too does our own. Our kids are our sequels, so let us make their stories better than our own. Our loves are our spin offs, so let's give them life so that no one wonders what part we played in their tale. Those whom we meet in this life, are the supporting characters in our tale and us in theirs, so we should make note and keep the ones who best compliment our journey. We should choose our friends wisely, for they will be major roles in the story of our life, but most importantly, we should make sure our story begins and ends the way we choose. This is your life, fill your book with pages that you'll want to read a thousand times. Never forget, that even though not everyone may like your book, there will always be those who will look back at it, and in the still moments, they will tell people that it was their favorite story they had ever heard. It was the book of life.
