Jeremy Pigg Obituary
Jeremy John Pigg, 48, of Homer, Nebraska died peacefully Sunday, June 1, 2025 after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Jeremy was born September 4, 1976 to John Pigg and Julie Davis. He grew up in Homer where he graduated from Homer High School in 1995. Jeremy’s sense of adventure took him to Australia for his junior year of high school where he established life-long friendships and found his “second family”.
Jeremy studied liberal arts at both the University of Montana and Coe College. He was always a talented writer and speaker, skills that served him well into adulthood. His sense of community service also guided him into a profession of service to others, working at Opportunities Unlimited, Sanford Center, and American Botanical as well as Gateway Computers and the Weekender magazine. Jeremy also served on the boards of several nonprofits, including Heartland Counseling Center.
On October 14, 2014 Jeremy married Tyler Dunning. They resided in Texas, Missouri, and eventually back to Jeremy’s roots in Homer, Nebraska.
Jeremy is survived by his husband Tyler of Homer; mother Julie Davis (Ron Stusse) of Jackson, Nebraska; father John Pigg of Homer; sister Heather (Matt) Zavadil of Celina, Texas; and nephews Hunter and Tanner Zavadil.
Jeremy was preceded in death by his faithful and beloved dog, River Tam.
