Jeremy has spent his entire life around the funeral industry. The son of Butch and Jan Heath, he developed a passion for serving people at a young age. A Paragould native, Jeremy attended Arkansas State University where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management: Leadership.


After completing his degree, Jeremy spent over a decade in law enforcement. A majority of that time was spent as a State Trooper with the Arkansas State Police. During this time, he returned to school to receive his MBA in Human Resources. He spent several years patrolling the highways before moving into the Executive Protection Division, where he provided protective security to Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe and his family. 


To spend more time at home, Jeremy began a career in the financial industry. He spent a couple of years as a Financial Advisor for Edward Jones. It was during this time that Jeremy realized his passion for funeral service was still strong. He made the transition back to the funeral home where he was in charge of operations. In 2022, Jeremy and Tara were blessed to purchase the funeral home from Butch, Jan, and Lynda becoming the third generation owners of Heath Funeral Home.


Since returning to the funeral home, Jeremy has participated in Leadership Paragould through the Paragould Regional Chamber of Commerce. He has also served on the Board of Directors for House of Virtue, Inc., CASA of the 2nd Judicial District, the Paragould Regional Chamber of Commerce, and the Greene County Community Fund. He has an Arkansas Funeral Director's License, an Arkansas Health/Life Insurance License, and is a member of the National Funeral Directors Association.


Jeremy has been married to his wife, Tara, since 2004. They have two sons, Jax and Auggie. During his spare time, he loves spending time with his family, watching Cardinal baseball, and howling his Red Wolves to victory. He currently volunteers for the Greene County Rescue Squad. Jeremy and his family attend church at Central Baptist Church Paragould Campus where he, Jax, and Auggie were all baptized.
