Don R. Oberholz Obituary

It is always difficult saying goodbye to someone we love and cherish. Family and friends must say goodbye to their beloved Don R. Oberholz of Batavia, Illinois, who passed away at the age of 89, on April 29, 2026. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Don R. Oberholz to show support.

As Don departs from this earthly realm, his essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though Don may no longer walk beside us, his spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy Don leaves behind.

He was predeceased by: his parents, Theodore Oberholz and Margaret Oberholz (Hickok); his daughter Karin; and his sister Helen Cofer. He is survived by: his wife Valerie Ann (Bright); and his son Mark of Schaumburg. He is also survived by relatives and friends.

In lieu of flowers, memorials to the United Methodist Church of Geneva, 211 Hamilton St, Geneva, Illinois 60134 would be appreciated.

Nick Marselos wrote a sympathy message

“I worked with Don many years ago. A delightful, smart, and interesting guy. I remember when he retired and took a cooking class. It encouraged me to take one, and then to begin cooking as a hobby. My wife and our many guests have benefited from that decision. I will miss knowing Don is no longer here. Ann and the family, he was a great guy.”
