Jeremy David Eidson, age 43, of Edison, Nebraska, a loving husband and caring father passed away on Saturday, November 27th, 2021 at Cambridge Hospital, Cambridge, Nebraska. He was born on July 8th, 1978, at Omaha, Nebraska to Catherine Barkley and David Eidson.
He grew up in Gretna living with his grandparents helping on the family dairy and farm before graduating from Gretna High School in 1996. He then moved west to attend Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture where he met his wife of almost 23 years, Julie Kennicutt of Arapahoe. He then made his home in her small community working in feedlots, Fairview Vet Clinic, NPP/Maschhoffs, and then finally for Ag Valley Coop of Edison, Nebraska. He enjoyed having a side business of custom haying for neighbors, which he wanted to teach his kids. He has been a part of the Elwood Rodeo Club for 22 years, where he enjoyed helping with the yearly Rodeo during the fair. He secretly enjoyed his wife bringing home stray cats as he snuggled with them just as much as everyone else did. The kids enjoyed making pinewood derby cars with him and staying home and watching the stupid funny movies.
