of Urbandale, Iowa
Xan Wilkins, age 33, passed away on Sunday, October 19, 2025 at his home. He was born the son of David and Kari Wilkins on July 8, 1992 in Des Moines, Iowa.
Xan was a dedicated registered nurse who worked at Pine Acres Rehabilitation & Care Center. He had a deep love for the holiday season, often going all out with Christmas decorations, and cherished spending time with friends over shared meals, craft nights, vacation adventures with his friends, and his passion for collecting antiques. Known for his generous spirit and kind heart, Xan took great joy in giving to his friends, family, and all those he cared about. He always supported his friends in all their endeavors. Xan had a great sense of humor, he was witty, clever, and had a quirky personality that always had people laughing. He never missed a chance to make someone smile.
He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
He is lovingly survived by his siblings Zeb (Chelsea) Wilkins, Eric Robbins, Yance Birmingham, and Rachel Tucker, grandparents Gail and Tom Gish, aunts and uncles Daniel (Angela) Glann and Andrew (Abby) Glann, a host of cousins, his beloved nephew, Jack, and many great friends.
Xan was preceded in death by his parents, and great-grandparents whom he was very close with Richard and Joan Haller.

Xan you are already greatly missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing you. I remember the first night I met you quite a few years ago, you showed me how to play cards against humanity and you had me laughing so much I knew from that moment on that you were stuck with my friendship for life.
I will miss seeing all your fun and wild adventures you shared on fb and I will miss exchanging Christmas cards with you every year. I hope you Rest in peace my friend. Until we meet again! ❤️

I was stunned when I heard the news. I was blessed watching Xan grow from a young boy to an amazing man with an even more amazing soul. When Xan was younger and worked at McDonalds my then 3 yr old Taylor would get excited every time he saw a McDonalds sign not because he wanted a happy meal but because he wanted to see Xan. Xan you will be greatly missed.
