Jeremiah Fennell is a 10-year-old sports reporter who has been making waves in the media with his impressive interviews of NFL stars. He has a YouTube channel where he comments on the Las Vegas Raiders, his favorite team. But who are Jeremiah Fennell’s parents and what inspired him to pursue journalism? Here is what you need to know.
Lorraine Golden: Jeremiah’s Mother
Lorraine Golden is Jeremiah’s mother and one of his biggest supporters. She allowed him to create his YouTube channel in 2020, after he kept getting good grades in school and the Raiders moved back to Las Vegas. According to TheNetline¹, Lorraine initially denied Jeremiah’s request to make a YouTube channel because the Raiders were based in California at the time, too far away from the family’s home.
Lorraine also has health issues that nearly took her life when Jeremiah was five years old. He told the Jennifer Hudson Show² that he alerted his grandmother that Lorraine was in distress and she took her to the hospital. He said that Lorraine would have died without his grandmother’s decisive action. “For a month I didn’t see my mom because she was in ICU, and those were the worst 30 days of my life. I had a long talk with God and I told him, ‘If you can bring my mom back, I would be the greatest son that I could ever be,'” Jeremiah said.
Lorraine recovered from her illness and has been watching her son grow into a talented journalist. She told The Las Vegas Review-Journal³ that Jeremiah had always wanted to work at the Allegiant Stadium, where the Raiders play. She also said that he was born with a passion for sports and journalism. “He just started practicing and practicing,” Lorraine said, “simulating play-by-play and analysis while watching games since he was 4.”
Jeremiah’s Father: A Senior Citizen
Jeremiah’s father is a senior citizen who also supports his son’s dreams. Jeremiah did not reveal his name or age, but he said that he wanted to make his parents proud at a young age because of their circumstances. “Most kids think that their parents are going to last forever – for the rest of their childhood, but when I was 5 years old, my almost died,” Jeremiah told Jennifer Hudson². “And my dad is a senior citizen.”
Jeremiah’s father also helped him understand his physical limitations when he was four years old. He and Lorraine informed Jeremiah that he couldn’t play contact sports due to a detached shoulder bone and a rare brain anomaly. The openness helped Jeremiah accept reality and find another way to remain involved in sports: journalism.
Jeremiah’s Achievements and Future Goals
Jeremiah has been gaining recognition for his skills as a sports reporter. He has interviewed NFL stars like Davante Adams and Justin Jefferson, who were impressed by his knowledge and confidence. He has also received a ticket to the Super Bowl and a bag filled with Raiders’ merchandise from the team as a reward for his work.
Jeremiah said that he aspires to become a journalist, sportscaster, and businessman when he grows up. He also wants to help other kids who have disabilities or health issues to pursue their dreams. He said that he doesn’t get starstruck by the celebrities he meets, but rather sees them as role models. “I want to be like them,” he said.
Jeremiah Fennell is an example of how determination and passion can overcome any obstacle. His parents, Lorraine and her husband, are proud of their son and his achievements. They have given him the love and support he needs to follow his dreams.
