It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Jace Tyler Shikany—a beloved son, grandson, brother, and friend, who passed away on May 25, 2026, at the age of 20. Born on February 8, 2006, Jace brought energy, laughter, and loyalty into the lives of everyone who knew him.
He loved fast cars, spending time with his friends, and playing video games. Whether he was out making memories or simply hanging out with the people he cared about most, he lived life with enthusiasm and a sense of adventure. Fiercely loyal, he was the kind of friend who showed up, stood by those he loved, and made people feel accepted and valued.
One of the most special bonds in his life was with his Grandpa Jim. As a little boy, the two were inseparable best buddies, sharing countless summer adventures, laughter, and unforgettable memories together. Those memories became some of the happiest moments of his childhood and will be cherished forever.
Jace is survived by his adoptive parents, Jim and Anita Shikany; sisters, Isabella Donegan, Shyanna Scroggins, and Rachel Scroggins; biological parents, Jason Rackley and Ashley Lawson; and great-grandpa, Troy Bohannon. He also leaves behind many extended family members, friends, and loved ones who will forever carry his memory in their hearts.
Though his time here was far too short, the love he gave and the memories he created will remain with all who knew him. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered always.
A celebration of life will be held at Greenlawn Funeral Home and Life Tribute Center in Ozark, Missouri, on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, at 2:00 pm. A visitation will be held immediately before the service from 1:00-2:00 pm at the funeral home.
