Omaha, Nebraska
With broken hearts and profound sorrow, the family of Connor Michael Artz announces his unexpected passing on June 2, 2025, due to complications during surgery. Just 25 years old, Connor’s life was one of purpose, joy, and connection—a life that touched many and continues to echo through the countless memories he helped create.
Born on October 26, 1999, in Omaha, Nebraska, Connor was a vibrant soul whose presence could light up any room. He was known for his infectious laughter, magnetic kindness, and deep loyalty to those around him. A natural-born connector, Connor cultivated friendships that lasted through every stage of his life—from childhood to college and beyond. His ability to make others feel seen, heard, and valued made him a treasured friend, son, and brother.
Connor had a profound love for music, often spending his free time making melodies with his closest friends. Whether he was strumming a guitar, writing lyrics, or simply listening to favorite tracks under the stars, music was his sanctuary and a way he communicated from the heart. His creative spirit, paired with an easy sense of humor, gave those around him endless joy.
When not immersed in music, Connor could be found embracing the outdoors—hiking trails, tossing a football with friends, or spending time lakeside with his family. He was an avid sports enthusiast and loved being active, thriving on both the adrenaline and camaraderie that sports offered.
Connor was the beloved son of Pat and Kathleen Artz, who raised him with love, faith, and unshakable support. He was a cherished brother to Daniel, Erin, and Clare, each of whom shared unique and treasured bonds with him. The Artz family takes solace in knowing Connor’s memory will live on through the love he showed, the music he made, and the lives he deeply touched.
In the face of this unimaginable loss, the Omaha community and all who knew Connor have come together in remembrance of a life that ended far too soon but was undeniably full of meaning. His radiant energy, loving nature, and adventurous spirit will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
A memorial service will be held in the coming days to celebrate Connor’s life, surrounded by music, stories, and the people he held dear. The family invites all who knew and loved Connor to attend and share in honoring the legacy he leaves behind.
In lieu of flowers, the Artz family requests that donations be made to a local music education program or youth sports initiative—causes that Connor supported and embodied.
May his memory forever be a blessing.
