JUERGEN MOLSEN
Country Creek has lost a long-time resident of 28 years, Juergen Molsen. He passed away unexpectedly on June 28, 2025 in Germany at the age of 89. Juergen was a native German who served in the German Army from 1957-1993. Before retiring as a Brigadier General, he traveled extensively throughout the U.S. with his wife. After visiting many states, they chose to buy in Florida, precisely in Country Creek in 1997.
His beautiful and vivacious wife Gisela sadly passed away in 2017. He is survived by their daughter Stefanie, son-in-law Jorg, grandson Nick and 2 brothers and sisters-in-law in Germany. Juergen had a whole family of friends in Germany as well as in Country Creek. He loved Florida, Country Creek, and the warmth of the sun. He was a beach goer, the “tan man.” He reveled in many sunsets on the beach with friends.
Juergen was a Legend in the Country Creek tennis family and tennis leagues. He even still participated successfully in match plays at age 89! His other sporting passions were golf, pickleball, and biking. Maybe you saw him pedaling daily at a fast pace 3x around Country Creek Drive. Not surprisingly he was an avid and faithful fan of FGCU sports: tennis, volleyball, and men’s and women’s basketball. A true blue & green fan!
Juergen regularly attended opera performances shown at the local movie theatres. Outdoor concerts were also a must to experience the beautiful weather with the beautiful music. But…what he talked about most were all the good people in Country Creek. He loved Life and Life loved Juergen. We will truly miss this vibrant, versatile man.
