Patrick Joseph Giebler (March 19, 1935 - October 19, 2025) - Beloved Husband, Father, Teacher, and Man of Faith.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Patrick Joseph Giebler, a devoted husband, loving father, and dedicated educator, who left this world surrounded by family and faith.

Patrick was a man who found joy in the simple and profound moments of life—discussing literature with his students, cheering on his three sons in all their pursuits, and sharing laughter and love with his wife Terri who stood by him through every aspect of life for 54 years.

As an English teacher, Patrick inspired generations of students to see the beauty and truth in words. He believed deeply that language could shape hearts and minds, and his classroom was a place where curiosity thrived and every voice mattered.

Faith was the cornerstone of Patrick’s life. He lived it quietly but powerfully—through compassion, humility, and unwavering hope. Whether leading by example or offering a kind word when it was needed most, Patrick’s presence reflected the love and grace he found in God.

Above all, Patrick was a family man. His greatest pride and joy were his three sons, to whom he passed on his love of learning, laughter, and integrity. His legacy will live on in their hearts and in the countless lives he touched through his teaching and friendship.

Patrick’s life was a testament to purpose and love well-lived. He will be deeply missed, yet forever remembered for his gentle spirit, steady faith, and the light he brought to everyone who knew him.

Patrick is survived by his wife Terri of 54 years, and his three sons. Christopher, Stephen, and Michael.
