“Jeremy is an understanding parent,” Goodson told Today. “Despite working full-time and part-time at home, he rarely misses an important event, and he always makes time for movie nights, backyard soccer, or tug-of-war. He shows our children how a man should treat a woman, and how to mean your word.
“He was selfless, and always worked hard to make sure everyone had what they wanted and needed, often to the detriment of himself. He loved all of our children, and was an example of what a man and father should be.”
Tillman’s daughter, Hannah Brazil, took to Facebook to write a touching tribute to her father, saying: “Our father was a respected and loving man who always put his family first, and never stopped putting a smile on the faces of everyone he interacted with. by.”
