<div>My name is Brandi Booth. I am a single mother raising our daughter, Brixton Berman, and this is the official fundraiser established by the Estate of Jeremy Michael Berman.
</div>

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jeremy was my longtime partner of 16 years, my fiancé, and the devoted father of our daughter. He was also the founder of Q Drum Co. Jeremy built custom drums used by musicians all around the world. His work reflected an obsessive attention to detail, a love for quality, and a strong loyalty to the artists he supported.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you ever shared a stage, rehearsal space, or late-night load-out with Jeremy, you know the dedication he brought to everything he did. Everyone who was fortunate enough to know him, work with him, or be inspired by the drums he built understood how much heart, talent, and passion he poured into his craft. He was respected by the musicians, crew members, drum techs, and artists he worked with throughout his career.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Beyond his work in the shop, Jeremy also traveled the world supporting major tours connected to widely acclaimed artists, including:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Muse
</div>
<div>• Nine Inch Nails
</div>
<div>• Katy Perry
</div>
<div>• Adele
</div>
<div>• Norah Jones
</div>
<div>• and many others.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Before Jeremy passed away on January 9, 2023 (just days before our scheduled wedding), I was his Durable Power of Attorney and healthcare agent under his advance directive. Jeremy and I were together for 16 years. We shared a home, financial responsibilities, and raised our daughter together. Our partnership was deeply committed, and our lives were fully intertwined. Losing Jeremy was devastating.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In the days immediately following Jeremy’s passing, I was contacted by the opposing party about matters relating to Jeremy’s business. Allegations were raised that, in my view, did not accurately reflect the circumstances. I felt vulnerable and subjected to overwhelming pressure. I needed to grieve, but I was not given the space I asked for.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For example, I was advised by my legal counsel that Jeremy’s estate would qualify for a simplified probate process due to its smaller size. Instead, the matter became a lengthy probate proceeding that lasted far longer than expected because the opposing party decided to challenge Jeremy’s Will.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After extensive proceedings that spanned nearly three years, Jeremy’s signed, witnessed and notarized Will was upheld, and I was formally confirmed by the court as Executor, sole beneficiary, and successor to his business interests. I am very grateful to my legal team for helping achieve this successful outcome that honored Jeremy’s final wishes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The probate chapter has now ended, but an ongoing civil case initiated by the same opposing party against me continues. These lawsuits are incredibly expensive. Legal costs associated with Jeremy’s probate case approached six figures. In addition, civil litigation expenses are expected to be substantial as the case proceeds toward trial. Due to legal expenses, I felt like I had to give up my California dream in order to defend Jeremy’s estate. I had to sell our home in California and relocate out of state to live somewhere with a lower cost of living.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I will not give in to what I perceive as pressure, and I will never stop fighting for Jeremy. Recently, my attorney filed a request seeking court approval to file a cross-complaint against the opposing party in this matter. Although I can’t share full details related to the pending litigation, I believe transparency is important, and court records are publicly available for those who wish to review developments directly.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your generous donations will help our family cover ongoing legal expenses and will assist me in my commitment to honor Jeremy’s legacy and final wishes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your generosity and support. ❤️
