Steven John Nitz

Steven J. Nitz, 59, Oshkosh, passed away at Nebraska Medical Center as a result of a work injury sustained in Omaha. Steve has been in the hospital since December 13, 2016 with his wife Mary by his side, and passed away on Saturday, February 4, 2017, just ten days before his 60th birthday. Steve was the second child born to John and Germaine (Reichenberger) Nitz and was a lifelong resident of Oshkosh. He was employed by several local businesses throughout his career including Multi-Conveyer, Shallbetter, and most recently, Electrical Testing Solutions. Steve was a family man that worked harder than any other man we know and could fix whatever was put in front of him. His skills and knowledge were endless. Steve was a dedicated hobbyist who enjoyed hunting, planting trees, gardening and taking on new adventures like making maple syrup and raising turkeys and bees. He loved to share those adventures with anyone who would listen.Steve loved his family immensely. He has a beautiful supportive wife Mary and five children that dont know where they will be without his love, support and ability to fix anything. In addition to his loving children, he has six grandchildren who would say no one else could make a turkey call or gobble quite like their Grandpa. He had a vivid imagination and entertained his grandchildren with tall tales. We love this man more than paragraphs can ever explain.Steve leaves behind his wife, Mary; his children: Nicholas Nitz, Amy (Chris) Jackson, Wendy (Troy) Nitz-Schneider, Meghan Mielke and Marissa Mielke; his grandchildren: Jasmine, Kaia, Bohdan, Keyanna, Kaeliah and Finley. He is further survived by his brothers: Mike and Tom; sisters: Cindy, Donna and Annmarie; many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, infant sister, Amy and nephews: Jeremy, Aaron and Mario.We would like to thank the Omaha Fire Department for their quick response and the staff of the Nebraska Medical Burn ICU for the expert and loving care provided to Steve. You supported and nurtured our entire family. We are forever grateful and you will always be a part of our family.Konrad-Behlman Funeral Home (100 Lake Pointe Drive, Oshkosh) is handling arrangements.
