On Saturday January 28th, 2023, we said goodbye to an amazing man, wonderful father, loving husband, and caring friend.
Wolfgang always wanted to live until 100, and even though he didn't make it there, he made the most of his 76 years on earth. He had a great life, filled with many adventures, and always had great stories to tell and memories to reflect on.
He loved the beautiful mountains, music, and reading his vast collection of books. He loved watching soccer and was a loyal VfB Stuttgart fan. His deep faith in God permeated his life with joy, awe, and wonder.
During the final year of his life, Wolfgang showed nothing but strength, courage, and the purest form of love during his battle with cancer. He will be greatly missed by everyone who was lucky enough to know him. He was the kindest and most warm-hearted man, and he never hesitated to help anyone in need.
He raised three wonderful children, Andreas (Katharina, Malte, Lasse), Claudia, and Julia (Jared), and devoted his life to his wife of 48 years (Brigitta). He was loved so dearly by his family and friends, and we are all glad that he can now rest in peace.
Funeral Mass will be celebrated at St. Boniface Catholic Church on Saturday, February 4, 2023 at 2:00pm. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the charity of your choice.
