Publish in a newspaper

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
