Jeremy “Shanks” Dean Shanks, 37, died unexpectedly January 3, 2022, at his residence. He was born October 19, 1984, in Columbus Ohio, at OSU hospital, the son of Kenda (Shanks) Osborn.

Shanks graduated from Belpre High School, class of 2002. Following graduation, he studied at Columbus State Community College for a short time before moving to Casper, WY in 2006. He was well known for flair bartending, working as a direction driller for Full Rod Construction, and no one can forget his professional cornhole board making skills. He was the kindest man who was always helping others and was always there whenever anyone needed a helping hand. His annual Shanksgiving brought many of his best friends together, making everlasting memories.

Shanks was an avid Buckeyes fan, and you could always find him in some basketball shorts watching football all season long; if it wasn’t football season, you wouldn’t be surprised knowing Jeremy enjoyed his day long naps watching the ID channel. Shanks loved old cars and attending car shows, collecting baseball cards, boating at the lake, snowmobiling, house projects and you would rarely see him without a nice amount of Grizzly tobacco in his back pocket.

Jeremy Dean Shanks was proceeded in death by Judith Irene “G-Funk” & Kenneth Eugene “Grandpa” Shanks. Surviving in addition to his 1967 442 Oldsmobile, are his dogs (“G” and “Jax”), a brother, Kendrick Osborn (with a niece/nephew on the way), mother, Kenda Osborn, many uncles, aunts, cousins, and a big (non-blood) family of brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews and lifelong friends.

Shanksgiving Finale will be held at the Yellowstone Garage, 355 W Yellowstone Hwy, Casper, WY 82601, January 28, 2022 at 4:30 pm. Cremation has taken place under the care of Newcomer Funeral home, in Casper, WY. Those who wish to remember Jeremy Dean Shanks in a special way may make gifts in his memory to 12-24 Club, 500 S Wolcott St, Casper, WY 82601.
