Jeremy Vaden Obituary

Jeremy Thomas Vaden of Leland, NC, formerly of Silver Spring, MD was born June 14, 1982 and died July 28, 2025.
Jeremy was a graduate of John F. Kennedy High School and Lincoln Technical Institute in Maryland.
Jeremy is survived by his parents Pam (Penny) and Tom Vaden; sister Bethany Vaden (Eric Edwards), brother Kyle Vaden (Jen Vaden); nephews Will and Tommy Vaden; best cousin Matt Weese, as well as aunts, uncles and friends.
Jeremy was passionate about all things music and radio and he could speak for hours on music and radio stations from around the globe. Jeremy loved cruising around the park in his fancy power wheelchair and stopping and talking to anyone he encountered, always making friends.
Thank you to all of Jeremy's friends, family, teachers, advocates and healthcare professionals who helped Jeremy along his journey for 43 years, especially Craig Webb, PA and his staff and Jeremy's Private Duty Nurses.
If you are moved, contributions can be made to NPR (WHQR) or PBS as these were two of Jeremy's great passions.
A memorial service was held in NC on July 30, 2025.
