Funeral Services Announced for Legendary Football Coach Gerry Faust, Community to Honor His Legacy at Moeller High School and Notre Dame

As the community remembers a legend, funeral services for former Archbishop Moeller High School and University of Notre Dame football coach Gerry Faust have been announced. Faust, who passed away at 89 due to an age-related illness, was not just a coach but a figure whose impact spanned decades and whose legacy extends far beyond the gridiron. According to

WLWT

, the visitation is set for Friday, Dec. 13, at St. Hilary Church in Fairlawn, Ohio, from 4-7 p.m.

A Mass of Christian Burial will follow on Saturday, Dec. 14, at 10 a.m., also at St. Hilary. In an outpouring of support and recognition of Faust’s teachings on faith and character, the family suggests donations instead of flowers to the Gerard A. Faust Memorial Fund at Archbishop Moeller High School. This initiative aims to support students who exhibit the same values of faith, leadership, and dedication that Faust himself championed, as reported by

The legacy of Faust is cemented in the history of both Moeller and Notre Dame, where he influenced countless individuals through his coaching, mentorship, and profound moral guidance. “Coach Faust embodied all that it means to be a Man of Moeller,” Moeller’s interim president, Carl Kremer, quoted in a statement obtained by

, reflecting on Faust’s influence on the school and its community.

Faust’s coaching tenure at Moeller boasted an impressive 174 wins against just 17 losses, along with five state and four national titles. Post-Moeller, Faust took on the noteworthy challenge of leading the Notre Dame Fighting Irish with a spirit that exemplified his entire career. “God’s given you the opportunity to play college football. God’s given you the opportunity to play for the University of Notre Dame,” Faust once told his Notre Dame players, a sentiment captured by
