Obituary For Brett Charles Stamm

Brett Charles Stamm, 65, of New Columbia, PA, passed away unexpectedly on September 16, 2025, at his residence. He was born May 14, 1960, in Allentown, PA, the son of the late Charles F.S. Stamm and Norene F. Hodes Stamm of Riverside, PA.

Brett graduated from Danville High School in 1978. He later earned his bachelor’s degree in education from Wheaton College in 1982 and achieved his master’s degree from Augustana University in South Dakota in 1984.

It is notable that he was a two-time NCAA Division III National Wrestling Champion, (1980, 1982), as well as a four time All American.

He is survived by his wife of 38 years, the love of his life, Karen Weidman Stamm. Their marriage was a shining example of love and commitment. They were married November 15, 1986.

He was employed as a Special Education and Math teacher for CSIU from 1982 – 1993 and with the Warrior Run School District for 27 years, from 1994 until his retirement in 2021.

Brett was an active and cherished member of the Lewisburg Alliance Church where he served as an Elder.

He loved spending time outdoors, especially hiking and boating. He was known as a history buff and loved traveling, especially to battlefields.

Brett’s personal relationship with Jesus Christ was the cornerstone of his life. He will be respectfully remembered by his children as a great example of a Godly man. Many will remember him for his reliability, trustworthiness and faithfulness. His character and integrity defined him, but he always remained humble.

In addition to his wife and mother, he is survived by six sons: David C. and his wife Christine of Milton, PA; Matthew B. and his wife Ashley of Watsontown, PA; Nathan P. and his wife Caitlyn of Mifflinburg, PA; Timothy B. and his wife Leah of Sunbury, PA; Noah C of Sunbury, PA. and his fiancé Rylly; Caleb S. of Spangdahlem Air Force Base in Germany and one daughter; Alanna L. of New Columbia, PA; his grandchildren:

Karen, I was shocked to hear the news. I am sure no words can express the pain you and your children must be going through. I don't have to tell you what a great person Brett was. Godly, steady, calm, disciplined, dependable, etc. etc. I pray you can get through these next days and weeks ahead knowing Brett is with his Savior. It won't be easy. And I pray for you Stamm children. That you will continue the legacy of your father. Loving God and loving people. Godspeed! Scott Torppey

Farewell to as schoolmate and Christian brother. Although we see each other infrequently, I was always glad to see him and he made me feel like he was happy to see me. Certainly Brett leaves a void on the lives of those who loved him. Perfected now and eternally secured, I look forward to a Sweet reunion in the presence the Lord. Prayers of comfort for the family and friends of this faithful servant.

I bumped into Brett outside the car parts store and he told me the trials of replacing the water pump ! He was so calm about the situation despite getting a defective part, spending 4 hours fixing it, then having to do it all over again. Not sure I would have been that calm, cool and collected! I will so miss chatting with him at church.

Sincerest condolences from both Jill and I...he sits with Jesus and I am sure he heard, "Well done good and faithful servant" from our Lord and Savior. Prayers to family for ministering angels in this time of need.

Many home school memories with our children. Also many hockey memories as our "boys" interacted regularly. Your calm dependable smile and caring attitude will be missed greatly. Your calm but determined demeanor will be missed when wrong things needed to be made right. Say hello to Charlie Kirk for us, as I KNOW you both are in a better place together. Thank you for making this world a better place by being in it and sharing Jesus to all you met. Mike Geiser
