Terry Stehle Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Langeland-Sterenberg Funeral Home on Oct. 6, 2025.
Terry Stehle passed away peacefully on Monday, October 6, 2025, at the age of 75. For 37 years, Terry taught physical education and first aid in the Hamilton Community Schools, where he also coached football and baseball. His commitment to mentoring and guiding his students, both on and off the field, left a lasting impact on many. During his retirement, he worked part-time for the Max Transit of Holland, where they affectionately called him "Coach". He found joy in his grandchildren's activities, cherished time with family and friends and loved traveling to new and exciting destinations. He is preceded in death by his parents, Richard and Kathryn Stehle; and his brother, Rod Stehle. He is survived by his loving wife of 54 years, Lorelei Stehle; his daughters, Shannon (Andy) Bowman, Wendy (Kevin "Cal") Calcagno, and his cherished grandchildren, Olivia Bowman, Maya Bowman, Grant Calcagno, and Morgan Calcagno. Visitation with the family is from 5:00 - 8:00 pm on Thursday, October 9, 2025, at Family Church - Haven Campus, 4691 Oak Street, Hamilton, MI 49419. A Celebration of Life will be at 10:00 am on Friday, October 10, 2025, also at Family Church Haven Campus with Rev. Michael Drew officiating. www.langelandsterenberg.com

A tremendous and positive impact on my life. To this day when facing challenging situations in business I think of his voice calling out to me as a very mediocre pitcher: go get them Craiger. Blessings to the family.

It was a true privilege to have known and worked alongside Coach at Macatawa Area Express. In the time I knew him, I came to see a man of great integrity - someone who always cared deeply about both his coworkers and the passengers he served. Coach had a way of making everyone feel valued, and he led by example with his steady work ethic and kind heart. Though I only had the pleasure of knowing him these past few years, his impact and friendship will not be forgotten. Mark Reese
