Rudiger "Rudy" Bernd Pfeiffer
April 17, 2018 - April 20, 1941
Rudiger "Rudy" Bernd Pfeiffer passed away April 17, 2018 from congestive heart failure. He has been ill since 2010 when he suffered 2 silent heart attacks.
Rudiger was born April 20, 1941 in Germany. He immigrated to the United States in 1982 when he met and married Karen McCarthy. His passion was weight lifting/power lifting. His first and very dear friends were the lifters at the gym.
His memory will be cherished by his wife, Karen; his son, and daughter-in-law, Rudiger and Nicole Pfeiffer; his granddaughter, Melina; his sisters and brothers; and nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, 3 brothers and a sister.
Per Rudiger's wishes, there will be no memorial service.

Rudy was a friend/coach/powerlifting mentor from my days at Flex (Gold's) Gym in Colorado Springs. He was well know for his boisterous personality and enthusiasm for everything related to lifting weights. Not to mentioned his stories that would leave you in tears of laughter! An all around good guy willing to take the time to help anyone in the gym. He was a legend. RIP, Rudy. My condolences to the family.
