Stephen Patrick "Rhino" Reinoehl

Stephen Patrick Reinoehl, lovingly known as "Rhino," 48, of Lititz, passed away Feb. 8, 2021, at his home.

Born in Pottsville, Stephen was a son of Ida May (Canavan) Reinoehl and the late Raymond Lamar Reinoehl. He was the beloved husband of Kathleen N. (Dolan) Reinoehl, with whom he shared 21 years of marriage.

Stephen attended North Schuylkill High School, where he wrestled and played football on the All-Scholar team. He continued his education at Millersville University, where he received his bachelor's degree in occupational health and industrial hygiene. While at Millersville, he continued to play football as a linebacker and solidified his nickname Rhino by ranking All-State within the PSAC. He was a three-year letterman and a member of the 1995 National Championship team. Rhino is still ranked No. 11 in his school history for Most Solo Tackles.

He worked as vice president of Regional Risk Engineering for Zurich for 18 years.

Stephen was an avid hunter and would go up to The 500 Fish & Game Club every weekend to hunt and spend time with his brothers and friends. There was no bad season for Stephen, as he was always ready to hunt with his rifle, crossbow and muzzleloader.

Stephen enjoyed watching football, especially Pittsburgh Steelers and any college football game, playing washers with his friends in elaborate tournaments that took place every summer, and traveling to new places for work. He was an IPA, action movie and country music enthusiast.

Most important to Stephen was his family. He made it a point to be at every one of his children's games, act as their number one fan, and be an unending source of support for them. He was extremely proud of all of them and loved watching them grow up. In 2020, he became a very proud pappy to his grandson, Ryder James, who became a constant source of joy.

He was preceded in death by his father, Raymond L. Reinoehl, and his brother, Raymond D. Reinoehl.

He will be dearly missed by his loving wife, Kathy; his beloved children, Richy Reinoehl, Kailynne Reinoehl and Kassidy Reinoehl; daughter-in-law, Crystal; his grandson, Ryder James Reinoehl. He is also survived by his mother, Ida May; his siblings, Cindy Reinoehl, Timothy Reinoehl and his wife, Angie, Michael Reinoehl, and Mary Hertz and her husband, Greg; nieces; nephews; his best friend, Michael Borzok and his wife, Sherrie.
