LongeviQuest is saddened to report the passing of Vidar Eide. He was born in Torvikbygd, Vestland, Norway on 3 July 1914 and passed away on 27 February 2024 at the age of 109 years 239 days.

Eide worked as a dairy farmer and a shipbuilder and is the oldest member of the Norwegian Farmers’ Association. At the time of his 108th birthday in 2022, he was still active and independent and still lived in the same home he was born in. He used a mobility scooter to help him travel longer distances, but he used crutches to get around his home. He has lived in a nursing home since late 2022, following a broken arm.

LongeviQuest is extending our deepest condolences to the bereaved family and friends of Mr. Vidar Eide.
