William “Larry” Jacobsen, age 81, passed away on Friday, October 9th, 2026, in Lincoln, Nebraska. He was born on December 18th, 1944, in Omaha to Bill and Ardella Jacobsen.

Larry graduated from the University of Nebraska with a degree in Architecture. He dedicated his career to Schemmer Associates, where he worked faithfully until his retirement.

Larry and his beloved wife, Connie, traveled the world together, blessed with a large circle of devoted, lifelong friends. They cherished every family gathering and were a constant, loving presence at every significant milestone in the lives of those they held dear.

Deeply involved in his community, Larry was a member of the Scottish Rite, his College of Architecture alumni group, and Preserve Omaha, a nonprofit organization championing Omaha’s historic architecture and neighborhoods through education, civic engagement, and community collaboration.

Larry attended Kountze Memorial Lutheran Church. As a young man, he enjoyed playing baseball on the church league team and was an active member of the Order of Saint John.

Larry is lovingly remembered and survived by his wife of 57 years, Connie; his sister-in-law Shirlee (Mike) Mendon; niece and nephews Sue (Terry) Uland, John (Priya) Mendon, and Jeff (Sheri) Mendon; his great-nieces and great-nephews; and many dear friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Bill and Ardella Jacobsen, and his sister, Bernice Peterson.

Memorial services are pending at Kountze Memorial Lutheran Church, located at 2650 Farnam St. in Omaha, Nebraska.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Larry’s honor to the Museum of Danish America or the Scottish Rite Foundation.
