One of the world’s greatest people and one my best friends passed today. This is Jeremy Stevens. We first met 30 years ago on what was an early sitcom writing job for me, but Jeremy was already a veteran. He had been an actor on Broadway, co-created The Electric Company for PBS, wrote on SNL during the Eddie Murphy years, and had tons of sitcom experience. He was so kind to me, this new kid. I loved him immediately. Hard not to. Ask anybody. He was the most loyal, generous, fun, encouraging human being you could wish to know. When I finished writing the Raymond pilot script, I was nervous, had no idea if anyone would even like it. I sent it to Jeremy first, knowing that at the very least, he’d be gentle. My phone rang. I said hello. “We’re gonna be on for ten years!”, he said. That’s how he was. I like to always let him know how wrong he was, that we were only on for nine years. But what fun we had. What laughs. He was my right hand. He later went after me to Russia to supervise their adaptation of Raymond and made it the most successful adaptation of a show in another language in television history. It’s still on there, there’s spinoffs even. That’s because of him. He stayed there seven years. The Russian team all loved him too. He was an an ambassador, a role model for how to be with people. Later, when he returned home, he told me he was going to become a life coach, I said, “So what else is new”. I was just happy that maybe now he’d get paid for it. He was besieged with illnesses for many years but he was always the personification of positivity. Of love. Of kindness. Of enthusiasm. It was not uncommon for him to burst into the room and say, “I just met the most terrific guy in the world. Talked to him for an hour. He parked my car.” I love Jeremy. I love his family, I love the family we made at Raymond and beyond for all these years, and I will love the laughs and joys we all shared together. Dear sweet Jeremy, my slightly older brother and buddy, you, you’re gonna be on forever. ♥️

    Jeremy was our neighbor and friend when we lived in Sherman Oaks.
    We got to know Jeremy, his wife Margie, their three children, and 5 dogs, well.
    My wife and I were newly married and we had our first child while living on the cul-de-sac in Sherman Oaks.

    Jeremy was as a force of nature who brought joy, excitement and intensity into every room he entered. Jeremy was always looking for a personal connection whether is was with the gardener, the grocery story clerk, or my father in-law who as a favor fixed Jeremy’s sprinklers and in turn Jeremy gave my favor in-law and old wrench named “Henry” who Jeremy received from his dad as a family heirloom and Jeremy wanted my father in-law to have old Henry. Who does that?

    We really get to know people and who they are when no one is looking and I got to know Jeremy in that way. What I can say is Jeremy loved his wife Margie thoroughly and with as much joy and infatuation as I have ever known a man to have for his wife. Equally Jeremy was the biggest fan of all three of his children who are all extremely gifted and as brilliant and courageous as Jeremy in their own individual way.

    Jeremy spoke enthusiastically about Everyone Love’s Raymond and it was clearly his dream project. Not a job but an adventure which he really never wanted to end. Without going into detail I know that some of our cul-de-sac life encounters made their way into ELR.

    Jeremy was a mensch and one of the “for real” people that would give the shirt off his back for someone he didn’t know if they needed it. He also liked fast cars and a good hamburger. Jeremy liked nature and King’s Canyon National Park. Above all Jeremy loved life and all it possibilities for everyone.

    In the few years Jeremy and I hung out together I never knew about his significant accomplishments and awards. He was just a normal guy having fun, laughing and encouraging everyone around him to do the same.

    Jeremy, from your friend Steve, I will never forget your enthusiasm and your love and your honesty, for everyone.
