Jeremy Vikan Obituary
Jeremy Daniel Vikan, 38, of Columbia, died on Saturday, September 20, 2025.
He was born on December 4, 1986 to Todd Timothy Vikan and Shelby Jane Eyre. Jeremy was a jack of all trades, being gifted at most anything he set his mind to. He was very artistic and had an eye for detail in whatever he was creating. He was also an outdoorsman, and loved spending time hunting, fishing, and trapping whenever he got a chance. Jeremy had a heart for people, always looking to help those in need. Naturally, he never met a stranger and was loved deeply by those closest to him.
Jeremy is survived by his parents, Todd (Ramona) Vikan and Shelby (Steve) Eyre; brother, Ryan (Sarah) Vikan with Brycen and Willow and daughter, Blakely; grandfathers, Dean Vikan and Dave Foster; aunts, Teresa (Bob) Elliott and Wende (Jeff) Sheets; and numerous cousins.
Jeremy is predeceased by his grandparents, Billie and Kirby Dix, Phyllis Vikan, and Maggie Foster.
No formal services are planned at this time.
