Jack Dehler Obituary

Dehler, Jack M. WATERFORD Jack Myles Dehler, 19, son of George and Terry Dehler, left this earth before his time on Tuesday, February 5, 2018. He was a graduate of Albany Academy for Boys, continued his education at The University of Miami, and was currently attending SUNY Albany. Studying economics, Jack had plans to continue on to Boston for graduate studies. Jack grew up playing football, baseball and squash. He sat first chair playing the trumpet and was an avid learner who enjoyed reading the classics. He had a style all his own and an infectious personality. Jack enjoyed the finer things in life and had big plans for the future. In addition to his parents, Jack is survived by two sisters and two brothers, Miranda (Ben) VonFricken, Brittany Elledge, Mitchell Dehler, and Vincent Dehler. He is also survived by his grandmother, Esther Dehler; his aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Jack met the love of his life, Helene DiStefano, in the seventh grade, and planned to join her in Boston to start their future together. Jack enhanced the lives of everyone around him. His love for life and positive energy will continue to inspire us all. Calling hours will be held on Saturday, February 10, from 1 to 4 p.m. at New Comer Cremations & Funerals 181 Troy Schenectady Road, Watervliet. A service will follow the calling hours at 4 p.m. in the funeral home. To leave a special message for the family online, visit NewComerAlbany.com

The evidence of a good parent is not in how a child is at home, but how he is with others in the world. And Jack was a stellar young man with a beaming personality. You could see his depth in his eyes and he could light up a room with his smile. I enjoyed the short time I got to know him and am truly heartbroken for his family and friends. My heart felt prayers for you all! Let us mourn for a time and then honor him by celebrating his life from this day forward. We may not understand why his time on earth was so short, but know he lives forever in the heavenlies. Until we meet again my friend. May God speed His peace beyond understanding. Amen!
