Aaron Zachary Batt

Aaron was bright, charismatic, funny, and multifaceted with a particular passion for adventure. He loved communing with the mountains when skiing and hiking and flowing with the water when canoeing and surfing. He was always willing to attempt any physical challenge he could find. His passion for travel and adventure led him to Costa Rica where he helped to develop a nature preserve in the untouched rainforest of the Osa Peninsula. After returning to Omaha after his beloved son Lorenzo was born, he parlayed his fluent Spanish into a career as an interpreter, helping people navigate the medical and legal systems. Throughout his life, Aaron continued his quest for new experiences; travelling, learning and developing new skills along the way. He scaled tall trees, tended his beautiful flower garden and created amazing sculptures. He appreciated and enjoyed the quiet contemplative life his property afforded, but lit up a room when he was with others. He will be remembered for making people laugh and will be dearly missed by all those that knew and loved him.

Aaron was preceded in death by his parents: Lawrence I. Batt and Jane P. Batt; and grandparents: Norman & Frances Batt, and Harold & Gloria Feintech.

He is survived by his son, Lorenzo Batt; brother, Jonas Batt (Amy Albertson); stepbrothers: Bret Conant (Esther) and Blake Conant (Sara); stepmother, Margaret Kirkeby; great-aunts: Babe Cohn & Evelyn Novak; uncles: Bob Batt (Janice), and Jim Feintech (Carol); aunts: Ellie Batt (Mark Sherman) and Sandy Weil; and his many beloved multi-generational cousins, nieces and nephews.
