William 'Tuffy' A. Kostman

I was born William Anthony Kostman Jr in Omaha, Ne on November 5, 1971. Some know me as Bill and my family and friends know me as Tuffy. My parents were William Kostman Sr or "Bill" and Kay Coller. I was welcomed home by my 13 month old sister who instantly became my protector and "boss" for the next 48 years. Through the years the amount of siblings I had grew. I was the 2nd born in a 2nd marriage. I am predeceased by an infant sister Shadow, an infant daughter Taylor, an infant son Ezekial. My stepdad Roger Blomquist, my mother Kay Coller-Blomquist, and my father Bill Kostman Sr. I am survived by my OG, my ride or die gal, Marcia. 3 fantastic kids, Nathan, Jasper, and Shelsea. A beautiful granddaughter Alana. My siblings, a lot of sisters and a few brothers, Elizabeth Bray, Jenny Hayes, my protector and boss Billie (Tim) Land, Bobbie (Moy) Samayoa, my sidekick Angel (Dusty) Poore, Mary (Keith) Dickson, Anina (Trevor) Yeutter, Luke Kostman, and Kent Kostman. MANY nieces and a few nephews. And special friend Charlie K. I am a high school graduate. I had a CDL for a time before child support and my health made that difficult. Otherwise I worked as a laborer. I've had the opportunity to travel throughout my life. Anyway I think I was a pretty good guy, although some might say differently. I love my family and care for them to my core. I had some health issues that I survived until now with the help of one of my favorite nieces Temerree and family. My only regret is that I wont be here for the grands to get to know me but I know my family will make sure my memory lives on. As you all remember me in the following days and years drink one for me. Memorials are suggested to the family in his name for later designation. A memorial service will be held Friday, February 21, 2020 at 2:00 p.m. at the Berryman Funeral Home Chapel with Al Jesseph officiating. Tuffy chose cremation. Those wishing to sign the memorial book may do so on Thursday, February 20, 2020 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Berryman Funeral Home.
