Horrocks returned to Toxteth Park sometime in mid-1640 and died suddenly from unknown causes on 3 January 1641, at the age of 22.
As expressed by Crabtree, "What an incalculable loss!"
He has been described as a bridge which connected Newton with Copernicus, Galileo, Brahe and Kepler.

It is believed that Horrocks was buried at Toxteth Unitarian Chapel, but there is seemingly no proof of this.

Horrocks is remembered on a plaque in Westminster Abbey and the lunar crater Horrocks is named after him.
In 1859 a marble tablet and stained-glass windows commemorating him were installed in the Parish Church of St Michael, Much Hoole.
Horrocks Avenue in Garston, Liverpool is also named after him.

In 1927, the Jeremiah Horrocks Observatory was built at Moor Park, Preston.

The 2012 transit of Venus was marked by a celebration held in the church at Much Hoole, which was streamed live worldwide on the NASA website.

Horrocks and the transit of Venus feature in an episode ("Dark Matter") of the British television series Lewis.
