It is with heavy hearts and deep sorrow that we announce the peaceful passing of Norbert Oehlschläger on May 16, 2025. After enduring several years of significant personal and health challenges with great courage and resilience, Norbert’s journey on this earth has come to a close. His departure leaves a void that will be profoundly felt by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Norbert was much more than a beloved football coach; he was a mentor, a friend, and a pillar of strength for his community. Throughout his career and personal life, he was known for his unwavering dedication, his passion for the sport, and his ability to inspire those around him to strive for excellence. His players often spoke of his encouraging words, his patience, and his commitment to their growth not just as athletes but as individuals.
SUPPORT THE FAMILY - GOD BLESS YOU
Beyond the field, Norbert’s kindness and gentle nature endeared him to family and friends alike. His warmth and generosity knew no bounds. He was a devoted husband, and his beloved wife Bärbel stood by his side through every challenge, sharing moments of joy and hardship alike. Now, in this most difficult of times, Bärbel and the entire family are facing the immense pain of loss and the daunting reality of moving forward without Norbert’s physical presence.
In recognition of the incredible impact Norbert had on so many lives, and in an effort to offer support to his family during this challenging time, a fundraiser has been established. The funds raised will assist Bärbel and the family with immediate and ongoing needs, including funeral arrangements, living expenses, and other unforeseen costs that arise during times of mourning.
We earnestly ask for your help in honoring Norbert’s legacy by contributing to this fundraiser. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference. Additionally, by sharing this message within your personal and professional networks, you help extend the circle of support, reminding the family that they are not alone and that Norbert’s spirit continues to unite and uplift all who knew him.
Norbert’s life was a testament to perseverance, kindness, and the power of community. As we remember him, let us come together to embody those same values—offering love, support, and solidarity to those he held most dear. Your generosity and compassion during this time of grief will provide not only financial relief but also emotional comfort, a beacon of hope amid the sorrow.
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your consideration, your prayers, and your kindness. Together, we can help carry forward Norbert’s legacy and ensure his family feels the strength of a community bound by care and respect.
