Frederick "Freddie" Benjamin Farrell

February 12, 2023 - May 7, 2025

With hearts full of love and sorrow, we share the passing of our beloved son, Freddie Farrell, who left this world far too soon at just two years and three months old.

Freddie was a bright light in every life he touched. Born on February 12, 2023, he brought with him a joy that radiated through even the most difficult days. Diagnosed with a rare cancer at just three months old, Freddie faced more challenges than most do in a lifetime, but he did so with an unshakable spirit, a sweet smile, and an incredible strength that inspired everyone around him.

Freddie loved Mickey Mouse, Toy Story, Cars, music, bubbles, and the simple joys of being outside. He adored sunshine and the ocean, strawberries and slides, horses and his golf clubs. Freddie especially loved riding in his blue car, zooming down the halls of Children's Nebraska and cruising the streets of his neighborhood with the wind on his cheeks and a grin on his face. Whether he was swinging at the park or cuddling his Great Dane, Dutch, and his cat, Ricky, Freddie brought laughter and warmth to every moment. He loved to dance and laugh and play, but most of all, he adored and looked up to his big brother, Marcus.

He is deeply loved and missed by his parents, Lindsay (Olson) and Johnny Farrell; and his big brother, Marcus Hurtz. He is also survived by his paternal grandmother, Kay Farrell of Omaha; maternal grandmother, Julie Olson of Aurora, NE; and by his loving aunts, uncles, and cousins, aunt Catherine (Farrell) Proctor; and cousins, Lauren and Meredith of Omaha; and uncle, William "Wiff" Frederick Farrell and Jane Farrell of Omaha, aunt Hillary (Olson); and uncle Aaron Mundt of Stromsburg, NE; and cousins, Wyatt and Sawyer; aunt Natalie (Olson); and uncle Lehr Dircks; and cousins, Louis and Harvey of Omaha; aunt Phoebe (Olson); and uncle, Scott Johnson; and cousins, Bailey, Brooklyn, Finnley, and Adam of Elk Point, SD.

Freddie was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, Benjamin Olson; paternal grandfather, William "Bill" Frederick Farrell; and his cousin, Carson Benjamin Neville.

Though his time with us was brief, Freddie made an impact that reached far beyond his years. His light, courage, and love will continue to shine and make the world a better place. He will forever be our bright star.

VISITATION will be held on Thursday, May 15th, from 4 to 8 p.m., at Heafey, Hoffmann, Dworak and Cutler, West Center Chapel.

The FUNERAL SERVICE will take place on Friday, May 16th, at 11 a.m., at All Saints Episcopal Church.

I am no one, other than a parent and grandfather. To date, God has spared me the intense grief you are currently feeling - something I can't begin to understand the depth of. This precious angel has been carried in the hands of Jesus, to meet his God. His earthly suffering has ended. You will be together again, as God has promised, and that child will once again share with you that beautiful, innocent smile. Peace be with you.

As a parent, I cannot imagine any greater sorrow! All I share is an abiding faith that there is a purpose in all things we endure and in all lives, however brief. I you find the strength to go forward and, in time, find the peace you so richly deserve.

There cannot be a dry eye for anyone that reads Freddies obituary. For those of us that haven't worn your shoes, we cannot imagine your sense of grief. God Bless you and your family.
