Felix Goebel-Komala

It was over a year before my family and I learned of Felix's passing. Everyone was heartbroken. What a dear friend he was. I met him in college at the University of Iowa in 1981 and we stayed friends all these years. The last time I talked to him, Felicity was growing and he and Mary were happy in their careers. I am so sorry for the loss to his family and friends. Farewell, Felix. I will never forget you.

Dear Mary and Felicity,
I am so sorry for your loss. Felix was a friend and mentor. He brought a great sense of family with our regular coffee hour between Sunday morning Masses. He made singing at 7am Mass a delight! His Spirit lives on in all those who have ever worked with him. I can still hear his wonderful laugh. He will be missed.

I express my thoughts and prayers to the family at this tragic loss. Felix was one of the most talented and gentle people that I had ever met. We worked together tirelessly on designing and implementing the new organ into the liturgy at the new St. Michael Church. He was always soft spoken, even if I knew he had a definitive opinion about a musical matter. There will never be another Felix. I am sure that we will all treasure the time that we had with him.
May God Bless.

I am so grateful for all the memories I have of Felix. I will never forget his unrelenting sense of humor. He was a pleasure to work with. Socially, he and Mary were great fun and I will treasure the adventures we shared. Mary, you and Felicity are in my prayers.

Dear Mary and Felicity,

I am so sorry for your loss. Mary, it has been many years since graduate school but I still have such fond memories of both of you. Felix was such a special human being like you and I am just heart broken to hear of his passing. Way too soon! My thoughts and prayers are with you and Felicity at this very difficult time.

Felix was one of the more talented liturgical musicians with whom I've had the pleasure of working. His creative spirit was always exploring new ways of enhancing the worship experience of the people. He had a wonderfully playful personality and sense of humor. I am saddened by his early departure but know he is enjoying a new adventure in the Kingdom of God. My prayers go out to Mary and the family.
