Help Support Judy and Nicholas Stenzel Cope with their Loss

Donation protected
It is with a broken heart that we share the loss of a beloved husband and father, Reinhard Stenzel, who passed away on 01/21/2025. He is survived by his wife, Judy, and their son, Nicholas. He was a kind, loving, and selfless man who dedicated his life to caring for his family. His unexpected passing has left a void that no words can truly capture, and while it's going on two months since his passing, the pain and shock are still very raw.

Adding to the immense heartbreak, Reinhard’s wife, Judy, was in the hospital at the time of his passing. She had been intubated and under intensive care, so when she awoke to the devastating news, the shock was overwhelming. As she tries to recover from her own health struggles, she is faced with the reality of losing her life partner, which has only added to the emotional and physical toll.

In this time of deep grief and hardship, we are reaching out to our community for help. Any of the donations raised will go towards a celebration of life, ongoing expenses, and Judy’s medical bills.

We want to honor Reinhard and the incredible impact he had on those around him. These funds will help us organize a meaningful celebration that truly reflects the love and joy he brought into our lives. Reinhard was the primary provider for the family, and his passing has left us struggling to manage bills and expenses. As Judy continues to recover from her own health battle, she is facing significant medical expenses as Reinhard did not have any life insurance covering his unexpected demise. Your generosity will help cover these costs and allow her to focus on healing, rather than worrying about mounting bills. Any donations will help ease this financial burden.

We are so incredibly grateful for any support you can offer, whether financial or in the form of love and prayers. Your contributions will provide much-needed relief during this incredibly difficult time and will help our family begin the healing process as we navigate life without Reinhard. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, as well as support. It means the world to us as we try to honor Reinhard and support Judy and Nicholas throughout this unimaginably painful time.

With love and gratitude,
The Stenzel Family
