Jeremy Styron Obituary

Jeremy Earl Styron, 47, of Greenwood, SC, passed away on May, 19, 2025 at Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia, PA, after a life-long struggle with health issues. He was the son of Jack and Wanda Styron of Greenwood, SC. He was a graduate of Greenwood High School and of Clemson University with a degree in English. His profession was journalism working for several newspapers throughout his career. He was a news writer, sports writer, editorial writer, and assistant editor. He was also a graphic designer and a photographer. He won many awards for his writing skills and photography. One of his many loves was music. He was a singer and wrote songs and music. He played guitar, trumpet and keyboard. He loved to read and he loved history. As one last act of kindness, Jeremy donated his kidneys so someone else could live. He is survived by his parents, Jack and Wanda, Caleb Coker (nephew), Lauren Coker (niece), Keith Coker (brother-in-law), two step-children, Anna Holland and Atalaya Mann, very special friend Kim Kelly, Toby Lackey (uncle), Donna Childs (aunt) and several cousins. He was preceded in death by his sister, Deana Styron Coker. There will be a private Celebration of Life event for family and close friends, with date yet to be determined.

I met Jeremy in 1999 , with mutual friends. His music was great, his conversation was witty and intellectual. Jeremy was a kind and genuine person and will be sorely missed.

Jeremy was one of best friends. He never let his health problems stop him from living his life. I'm lucky to have known him.
