Leo Artzner's Obituary
Leo William Artzner (67) passed away in his sleep on March 17, 2025, in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Born February 25, 1958, in Cleveland Ohio. He eventually moved to Florida where he had two children, Alexandra and Nicholas Artzner. He moved to Oklahoma to pursue his love for traveling and seeing the United States and became a cross-country truck driver. He was able to visit all the states except Hawaii and Alaska. He loved fishing, hunting, the woods, Native American Indian culture and being outdoors. Leo would often catch people off guard with his quick wit and perfectly timed remarks. His sarcasm was legendary, but those who knew him well understood that it was just one of the many ways he expressed his deep affection for those around him. Beneath the tough exterior was a man who cherished the moments of quiet connection and the joy of a good adventure. Leo will be remembered not just for his sarcastic one-liners and his love for the outdoors, but for the way he lived life on his own terms. He was a man who made an impression with every word, every action, and every moment. Though he may have kept his emotions close, his legacy will live on through the countless memories shared with family, friends, and all who had the pleasure of knowing him. He leaves behind his children, Alexandra and Nicholas. Granddaughter, Ella (Alexandra). His sisters Anita and Mary Ellen. Brothers Jim and Rick. Several nieces, nephews and great nieces and great nephews. He will be dearly missed by his simplicity in life.
