A Life Gone Too Soon: Remembering Cole Hiemer

The community of Omaha, Nebraska, is reeling from the heartbreaking loss of Cole Hiemer, who passed away on September 29, 2025, at the age of just 32. His passing has left family, friends, and neighbors devastated, struggling to come to terms with the absence of a man whose presence meant so much to so many. Cole was more than a son, brother, and uncle—he was a source of light and encouragement to everyone who crossed his path. His life, though far too short, was marked by kindness, laughter, and a genuine care for others.

A Cherished Son, Brother, and Uncle

Cole is survived by his loving parents, Jon and Sharon Hiemer, his siblings, and their children, all of whom feel the immense weight of his loss. To his family, Cole was a source of pride and comfort, someone whose compassion and loyalty could always be relied upon. As a brother and uncle, he gave his love freely, creating lasting bonds that brought joy and strength to his family circle.

His thoughtful words and kind spirit left an impression that will never be forgotten. Cole’s impact extended far beyond his immediate circle—he had a way of making others feel valued, appreciated, and uplifted, no matter how brief the interaction.

A Legacy That Will Endure

Though Cole’s journey was cut short, his legacy continues in the lives he touched. Every story told, every memory shared, and every act of kindness inspired by his life will keep his spirit alive. The community will come together to honor him at a visitation on October 3, 2025, followed by a memorial service at the First United Methodist Church in Columbus, NE. These moments will provide family and friends the chance to reflect on the joy Cole brought to their lives, while finding strength in their shared grief.

Cole’s passing reminds us all of the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing every moment with those we love. His absence is deeply felt, yet his memory will forever be carried in the hearts of those who knew him best. His story is not defined by his loss, but by the love, compassion, and inspiration he shared so freely.

May Cole Hiemer rest in peace, and may his family and community find comfort in knowing that his light will continue to shine through the love he leaves behind.
