Jeremy Styron Obituary

Jeremy Earl Styron, 47, of Greenwood, S.C., died Monday, May 19, 2025, at Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia.
He was born June 24, 1977, at Self Regional Hospital in Greenwood to Jack and Wanda Styron.
He was born without an immune system, thus he spent most of his first 4 1/2 years in a sterile room at a New York City hospital. He started kindergarten as a normal 5-year-old and had many social issues because he had not been around other children for most of his life.
He overcame many obstacles with his brilliant mind. Despite his health issues, he never felt sorry for himself or blamed others. He didn't like to talk about himself but instead focused on others. Despite being taken on and off a donor list, he maintained an even keel. His father said he was the toughest person he'd ever come across
He graduated from Clemson University in 2001 with a degree in English.
He worked at The Clayton Tribune for about seven years, beginning in 2005. He won many awards for his writing and photography skills and will be remembered by many for his historical pieces about Rabun County.
He also was a voracious reader who never quit trying to learn about history and other cultures. He was also a talented musician who played multiple instruments. His compassion, grace, wit and brilliance will be remembered by those who had the distinct pleasure of getting to know him.
Jeremy is survived by his parents, Jack and Wanda Styron, two stepdaughters, Anna and Atalaya and very special friend, Kim Kelly. He was preceded in death by his sister, Deana Styron Coker.
A celebration of life is planned for late June.

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.
