Brian Conety
BRIAN DAVID CONETY was born to Wilbur and Ruth (Lowe) Conety October 13, 1941, in Omaha, Nebraska. He passed away Wednesday, January 1, 2014 at his home in rural Decatur, Nebraska.
Brian grew up in Herman, Nebraska, and graduated from Herman High School in 1959. In the summer of 1962, he met his future wife, Kathy, by pretending to be drowning to get her attention while she was lifeguarding at the Tekamah pool. Although that got Brian ejected from the pool that day, he did get her attention and married Kathleen Nanfito on October 13, 1962, in Wynot, Nebraska. Brian and Kathy were still best friends after 51 years of marriage.
Brian farmed for many years and had livestock. He sat many nights in the hog shed reading comic books as he waited for the sows to farrow. Being the loving man that he was, he felt that the livestock should have an extra scoop of grain on every holiday.
Brian changed his career path in 1975 and received his Journeyman Ironworker Apprenticeship in 1978 with Local 21 in Omaha. Brian would share many stories of his days working as an Ironworker and good friends he met along the way.
Brian enjoyed fishing with his wife, Kathy, and with every trip a quarter was on the line for the first, biggest and most fish!
Brian was a wonderful father, never wanting to miss watching his boys play football or wrestle even if it meant driving four hours after work from a jobsite to turn around and go back after the game. He also loved being a “Dad” to his daughter, who he always referred to as “Pill”.
Brian was blessed with five wonderful grandchildren. They were a big part of his life and he was so proud of them.
He was preceded in death by his parents.
Survivors include his wife, Kathleen Conety of Decatur; two sons and daughters-in-law, James Conety and Deborah Zeruk of Valley, Nebraska, Jon and Angela Conety of Decatur; daughter and son-in-law, Jennifer and Sterling Brownell of Omaha; brother and sister-in-law, Wilbur and Pat Conety of Blair, Nebraska; five grandchildren.
FUNERAL SERVICE: Monday, January 6, 2014, 10:00 a.m. at the Herman Legion Hall, Herman, Nebraska
VISITATION: Sunday, January 5th, with the family receiving friends from 2 – 6 p.m. at Pelan Funeral Home in Tekamah. Visitation Monday will be held at the Legion Hall one hour prior to the service.
