Jeremy Christian Hargens, 63, passed away in his sleep on Wednesday April 15th, 2020 in his home in Raleigh, NC.
Jeremy was the son of Annice Hargens and the late Moritz Hargens, born in Jamestown, North Dakota. As the son of a Lutheran Minister, Jeremy moved often across the Midwest before eventually starting his family in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. The family relocated to North Carolina where they eventually grew roots in Cary.
Jeremy's personality was charismatic, witty, and passionate and he filled his life with the love of his family, foreign cuisine, craft beer, sports, and fine cigars. Jeremy has left an indelible mark on those he loved with a sense of humor and zest for life which will never be forgotten.
Jeremy is survived by his mother, Annice; children, Joshua Hargens (wife Tiffany) and Jenna Overington (husband John); grand-children Anabella and Adelyn Hargens; sisters Melody Bierman, Rebecca Hargens; brother, Hans Hargens; and former wife, Donna.
The family will be holding a private ceremony to honor Jeremy's life in Wilmington, NC at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in Jeremy's name to the Heart Foundation (https://donate.theheartfoundation.org/give/f2744099/).

Your dad was always funny! All those days riding to cathedral. My thoughts are with you .
I will miss you so very much my beloved brother. You had such a great sense of humor and you could find humor in just about everything. While you lived in NC near your family, I'm glad you took the time to come to Milwaukee and visit with us. I will cherish the last visit we had. Josh and Jenna, I can't begin to think of the loss you feel right now. Took me this long to be able to even begin to accept his passing. May you find new strength and peace in each day, and may your memories of your dad never fade away.
