Connor Schmatz Obituary
Connor was born on April 14, 1993 to William and Patti (Jeziorski) Schmatz, they both survive along with sister Kelli Schmatz of Indianapolis, Tyler (Elizabeth) Schmatz and niece Scarlett of Colorado Springs.
More than anything, Connor loved his family. Spending time together whether on holidays, special occasions, or just anytime, always meant the world to Connor. Also very special to him was his dog and constant companion Jack.
Connor graduated from Adams High School where he played hockey and lacrosse. Connor continued to play on various Men's League hockey teams and always was up for a pickup game. His passion for hockey would often find Connor at Notre Dame and/or High school games. He was an avid Notre Dame, Blackhawks, and Cubs fan.
He also took great pleasure in working at the Holy Cross Village and Retirement Community where he was always very helpful and enthusiastic in helping the residents.
A Gathering of Friends and Family will take place Friday, November 22, 2024 from 10am-12pm in the Zahoran Funeral Home, 1826 Kemble Avenue. Funeral services will be celebrated at 12:00pm.

Connor was several years older then me at Saint Joe Grade School and Adams. He was an extremely kind individual who would often leave our entire lunch table in tears from how funny he was. I have found memories of watching him play Hockey at JA. He will be greatly missed.

God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
I´ll never forget how much Connor loved my dog Morton and my dog loved him. He always called him "Morton Salt".
