Life recently threw Jeremy Deutsch an unimaginable challenge — a brain tumor diagnosis — but he is meeting it with courage, optimism, and the steadfast love of his family and friends.
Surrounded by his two young sons and an incredibly supportive community, Jeremy’s story is one of resilience, generosity, and hope.
Jeremy, a beloved manager at Cubby’s Sports Bar and Grill in Brookings, is known for his kind heart and unwavering dedication to others.
His family describes him as one of the most generous souls anyone could ever meet — a man who never hesitates to lend a hand or share a smile.
When news of his diagnosis spread, the Brookings community immediately stepped up to rally around him.
His aunt, Janice Deutsch, shared that Jeremy will be traveling to the Mayo Clinic for further evaluation and treatment.
“Never a kinder, nicer young man ever,” she wrote, encouraging everyone to send prayers, blessings, and support for Jeremy and his sons.
A GoFundMe campaign and CaringBridge page have been created to help the family through this difficult time.
Local businesses and friends have joined forces to help ease the financial and emotional burden.
Cubby’s Sports Bar and Grill, where Jeremy works, has led a community effort to raise funds.
“Our Cubby’s family loves Deutsch!” the restaurant wrote in a heartfelt post.
“If you know Jeremy, you know he’s the kind of guy who would give you the shirt off his back. Let’s rally around him as he fights this battle.”
