On a warm Friday evening outside the high school where Jeremiah Perry was a student, fellow classmates and teachers joined the 15-year-old's family to remember the boy they say was the "light" of their family. Jeremiah died on July 4th after slipping under the water at Big Trout Lake in Algonquin Park while out swimming with classmates from C.W. When he didn't resurface, staff called police, according to the Toronto District School Board. 'They were the only two of a kind'"They were the only two of a kind, so he's lost his pea in the pod so to speak," Anderson told reporters after the ceremony. As family, friends and teachers gathered to remember the young teen, a song written by cousin played in the background.
