Jay Stickle Obituary

As I was looking up articles in my scrap book along with Steve Marcon I realized our golf team was the first team in CHS history to win the GK golf tournament! We were blessed to have had Jay for a coach. He was demanding of sportsmanship and very dependable as a leader, teacher, and coach. A fine man and someone I will always remember.

I was on Jays golf and tennis teams that qualified for state in 1977. We had so many great times. Our tennis team went from one conference win in 76 to State qualifier´s in 77. I had the pleasure of speaking with Jay in 2020 and we shared so many stories. Bless him and his family. Rest well for a job well done! You will be missed but never forgotten.

I always admired Jay as a good person and dedicated educator. He made a difference in the lives of so many because he cared so much. Anyone who knew him is blessed. I hope memories will sustain and comfort Judy, his family and friends.

I am so sorry for your loss, just know he is safe in the arms of Jesus and you will see him again some day.

Deepest sympathy to Judy and family!

Jay was a great teacher, coach, athletic director and friend. His kindness and caring was evident in all he did. We had many great after the game get together over the years which I will always remember with a smile. May your light shine on in all you touched. My love goes out to Judyand family.

A wonderful teacher

Mr. Stickle was a great teacher & motivator. We would bet a dime every year through high school & college on the Michigan v Ohio State game. Just a way for us to stay connected. His smile and gentle "nudging" were always a welcome sight. I didn´t want to like science, but here I am. Science is a very important part of my life. Mr. Stickle, your students loved & admired you. May you Rest In Peace.
Smiling and keeping the faith!

I am very sorry for you loss and will pray for your family during this time. As my tennis coach at Comstock H.S., not only was he a great coach but a big influence in my life during and after my high school years.

I knew Jay Stickle when I served on the Comstock School board. It was my pleasure to know him as a highly respected teacher. He positively touched the lives of many young people. He is remembered by many. Peace

Mr Stickle was always one of my favorite teachers, he always had a smile and was so sweet. I only ever had him for one class, but he made an impression on me.

My thoughts are with your family, he touched so many.

Love and Light

Mr Stickle was a favorite teacher of mine! I remember in Science class I used rats (3 male) for an experiment. When the science fair was over he asked me if I´d take 1 more male and 4 females and breed them and I could use his cages. OMG I took him 48 rats at the end of summer!! He was the best teacher by far. He taught me so much!!

Coach Stickle was a great coach and teacher! He was the teacher you hoped to get and would never forget. He was my golf and tennis coach and I thought the world of this man. My condolences to his family. Rest in peace Coach!

Tom and I both send our condolences to Mrs. Stickle and family. Mr. Stickle was one of our favorite teachers at Comstock. We were blessed to have such an outstanding science department , who not only were great teachers of their curriculum, they were wonderful role models. He was also Toms tennis coach and I was one of his Biology Seminar Students. We will fondly remember this great teacher. Gone but never forgotten.

My deepest condolences to the family. He was an exceptional teacher! I loved his classes.

Coach, you will be missed!! Thank you for the many years you gave to all of us!!

We want to offer our sympathy to the family and friends. We feel blessed to have benefitted from having his presence in our family's lives.

I am so sorry to hear this. Mr Stickle was much loved by the students at CHS. My heartfelt condolences to his family and dear friends.

Jay was a class act - a kind, caring person through and through. Sympathy to Judy and all the family -- may all your wonderful memories give you comfort now and the love and care of family and friends sustain you as you go forth.

Jay was absolutely one of the finest teachers, coaches and ADs ever at Comstock. He was a class act and someone who I admired dearly! He had such a positive impact on so many coaches, teachers, athletes and students during his time at Comstock. It was an honor to work with Jay and I know his eternal light will shine on in all of us that he influenced.

Jay was a genuinely nice man who always seemed to have a smile on his face, a wonderful administrator-teacher-coach who leaves fond memories with all who knew him.
Our deepest sympathies to his beloved Judy and family.

So sorry for your loss Jay was a great golf coach and I enjoyed sharing many memories and stories with Jay as I enter my 25 th year as a high school golf coach I couldn´t have done it without him. Hit em straight coach.
