It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Dr. Carl-Michael Staschen on Monday, September 16, 2024, at the age of 76. He was the beloved husband of Ursula Staschen and the cherished father of Marius Staschen (Renée) and Julia Staschen (Alper), as well as the adoring grandfather of Sophia. He also leaves his loving family in Germany, Rosemarie and Heinz Steudle.  

Born in 1947 in Rostock, Germany, Mike was the son of Georg Staschen and Marie Stöckmann Staschen. He was an outstanding physician-scientist who made great contributions to the field of medicine, and a man of deep compassion and kindness. He was also a gifted musician, playing the piano since he was young and composing and arranging beautiful melodies that filled our home with joy and music. 

To commemorate his life and share our cherished memories, a private service will be held on September 20th at the Kuzo Funeral Home in Kennett Square, PA.

In lieu of flowers, we ask for contributions in Mike’s name to be made to the Lustgarten Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research (https://lustgarten.org).
