Obituaries

So many memories but not enough time. Karl William Czymmek, best known by family and friends as Will, passed away on August 28, 2018, just one day short of his eighteenth birthday.

He leaves behind a large grieving family. Two older sisters, Meredith and Madeline, and his parents, Karl and Anne Czymmek. His grandparents, Karl and Joyce Czymmek, his uncle Kirk and aunt Martha Czymmek, his aunt Maria and uncle Dana Paddock, his uncles Kent and Kyle Czymmek, his uncle Michael and aunt Kate Balcolm-Mattson, his uncle Mark and aunt Kim Mattson, his aunt Amber and uncle Peter Heimbucher, his aunt Amy Phelps, and many cousins.

Will graduated from Lansing High School this year, as a straight A student, and had just begun attending the University of Buffalo for nursing. He had a bright future but lost his battle with depression. He was dearly loved and is missed by so, so many.  If we could only turn back time and stop him from cutting short his precious life.

Will was predeceased by his sister, Emily, in 1994, and his grandparents, Sonny and Ellen Mattson, and his aunt Heather June.

Calling hours will be held from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 2, 2018, at Lansing United Methodist Church, 32 Brickyard Road, Lansing, NY 14882.
