Jens Goebel Obituary

The memory of Jens Goebel (Grand Rapids, Michigan), who passed away on October 25, 2025 at the age of 64, will forever remain in the hearts of those touched by this precious presence in their lives. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Jens Goebel to pay them a last tribute.

As we bid farewell to this cherished soul, solace is taken in the memories held dear — the laughter shared, the wisdom imparted, the moments of quiet reflection in their presence. Though Jens may no longer walk among us, his spirit lives on in the echoes of his kindness, the warmth of his embrace, and the light of his enduring love.

He was loved and cherished by many people including: his parents, Gerhard Göbel and Christa Göbel; his wife Denise Goebel; and his children, Katie Goebel of Ames and Alex Goebel of Floyds Knobs.
