Skyler Shane Folkman, known to those who loved him as Sky, Skweela, and George, passed away on March 23, 2026, in Heber, Utah. He was 28 years old, born on December 3, 1997, in Ogden, Utah.

From the time he was young, Skyler lived with a fierce and boundless energy that drew people to him. He was the kind of person who loved with everything he had, holding nothing back, and anyone lucky enough to be in his orbit knew it. His smile was contagious, the kind that lit up a room the moment he walked in. He had a humor that came so naturally it could catch you off guard, and he never failed to make the people around him laugh. He was loyal as hell, and he showed up for anyone and everyone who needed him.

Skyler was a gifted skateboarder who won numerous competitions over the years, earning respect in a community that meant a great deal to him. He was also a talented artist and musician, pouring his creativity into everything he touched and leaving behind a body of work that will continue to speak for him. Beyond his own passions, Skyler became a mentor to many people who were struggling, offering the kind of steady, honest presence that can change someone's life. He loved camping, riding motorcycles, and getting lost in a good book, but perhaps nothing brought him more joy than being an uncle. No one made the kids laugh and smile quite like Uncle Sky, and that is a truth his family will carry with them always.

Skyler is survived by his mother, Natali Folkman; his father, Mike Folkman; his brothers, Logan Folkman and Dawson Givens; his sister, Kayla Givens; his nieces, Quincy and Haisley Givens; his nephew, Pierce Givens; and his grandparents, Linda and Ken Folkman. He was deeply loved by each of them and by a wide circle of friends who considered him family.

The family has said their private goodbyes to Skyler and will hold a celebration of life to share memories with everyone when the time feels right. Details will be shared when they are ready.
