David Stegmeier, Pastor

I have known Brother Stegmeier since we were young adults and he came to our camp meeting, here in Newark, Ohio. A little later, he taught my two oldest children at Lincoln School, also here in Newark. He married a close friend of mine, Millie Prior, and soon afterward went to Oregon to pastor. Our close friendship lasted throughout the years, and he was a greatly loved and respected brother in the Lord. It's with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to Brother David! But he has gone to his reward and now enjoys a glorious homecoming and the well-deserved rest of eternal glory in the Presence of his beloved Lord.

Dear Stegmeier family, My deepest condolences to your family and friends during this very difficult time. Words are difficult to find that can ease the pain and anguish of losing someone so close. May you find peace and comfort in the scriptures which remind us that our loved ones that have entered rest are in God's memory, because those who pass are considered precious in His eyes. -Psalm116:15 The scriptures also give us a glimpse into God's purpose for our loved ones who have entered rest.

Brother Stegmeier was an inspiration to me in so many ways. From a young boy I looked up to him and often told him “When I grow up, I want to be just like you". His love for God and love and compassion people were such a drawing force, along with his musical abilities and his voice ... it's no wonder I looked up to him. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to spend time with him and those memories will be forever cherished! He took time out for me when I was a teen in need of that special someone to take me under their wings and let me know that I was important. He always made me feel good and included me in choirs and quartets and even sang duets with me on several occasions. This drew us very close and as I was called into the ministry, we became even closer. When I became a pastor, I called him for a revival, and we had a glorious meeting that I will never forget! Through his battle with cancer, he continued to pastor his congregation and host revivals and Campmeetings pushing through the terrible pain that he was experiencing without complaining. WHAT AN EXAMPLE!!! Through all this my faith has been increased. Through his dedication he has pushed me to be more dedicated. I still look at him as one to looked up to as an awesome example. Brother Stegmeier, you will not be forgotten, your work will go on, you have inspired many of us to pick up the torch and carry it on!
