Caring for John Steinbruegge's Family

Our brother, John Steinbruegge, passed away suddenly at his family home on Sunday, September 10. Those who knew John know that he was a kind, patient, and gentle soul whose life was defined by his passion for music, teaching, and above all else, his family.

John was a deeply devoted husband and father. His wife, Meredith, and two sons, Colin (15) and Ben (12), were the great joys of his life. The tragic loss of him, at age 46, has been a shock to his family and friends, and he will be missed beyond words. As we all work to heal and move forward from this loss, several people have asked how they can provide support for John’s boys. Through this fundraiser, we hope to collect contributions for Colin and Ben’s future education and care. Colin will start college in several short years, and Ben has some special care needs related to autism; your contribution will help ensure that both of them have a strong start toward a bright future.

Thank you for your support during this heartbreaking time. One thing that’s become clearer than ever to us over the past several days is what an impact John had on others, and how beautiful a legacy he’s left through his teaching. We are truly humbled by the outpouring of love for our brother, and appreciate it more than we can say.
