JEREMY HEAD

JEREMY HEAD

     For his short 47 years on our shared little rock, not many individuals could make a person smile, laugh or to simply feel seen more so than Cha Pa Ga – otherwise known as Jeremy Head. His natural inclination to bring a person in and laugh with them affected the numerous people he came to know during his time spent here. As an innate performer, he would display this from the stage by (poorly) playing guitar, evoke laughter during his comedy shows, sing karaoke, or DJ at only the finest of drinking establishments. In a less formal setting, he was always cracking jokes, looking for that next chuckle out of you while shooting pinball or watching wrestling.

     He was a man of many names: Head, Meatloaf, Head Brother, Kunu, Germy, the middling-tier Pool Hall King of the Midwest (self-issued), and was loved by all (or at least most) that met him. 

     Jeremy passed away July 28 at Mayo Hospital in Eau Claire, WI, due to numerous health complications. 

     He was preceded in death by Cheryl Thundercloud (mother) and survived by Cecil Thundercloud (brother), Stephanie Szajna (niece), Maxwell Thundercloud (nephew), and countless friends and cousins who loved him dearly. 

     Services were held in Black River Falls, WI, Saturday, Aug. 3, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Ho-Chunk Nation District 1 Community Center. Food and refreshments followed afterwards at the Ho-Chunk Nation District 1 Community Center in the Indian Mission.
