by Vale Putzke Death, Obituary – Vale Niklas Putzke The message that is presented below is meant just for those individuals who are a part of the Dockers community and is addressed to them: We are extremely sorry to notify you all of the passing of Niklas, and during this difficult time, we would like to extend our most sincere condolences to each and every one of you. Nik joined our team the next year (2021), and very immediately after his arrival, our organization bestowed upon him the title of “Best First Year Player.” This honor was consistently conferred upon him during the entirety of his stay with us here at our organization.
There is a familial connection between Nik and Beppo Grüner, who is presently functioning in the capacity of vice captain. At this point in time, Nik is the officer in charge of the ship. Although we did everything in our power to dissuade him from pursuing rugby, which was his primary interest, Nik’s dedication to the St. Pauli Rugby team remained unwavering throughout the entirety of his time there. This was in spite of the fact that we did everything in our power to dissuade him from pursuing rugby. During the time that Nik was a member of the club, he was only able to take part in a small number of the available games; yet, he was still well-liked and respected by the other individuals who were connected with the organization.
This was the circumstance regardless of the fact that he participated in only a select number of the games when he was a member at that establishment. Nevertheless, this was the case. As a direct result of this, he did not skip even a single practice or game in order to show how dedicated he was to the squad.
During this difficult time, we want the Putzke and Grüner families to know that our thoughts and prayers are with them. Additionally, we are thinking about Nik’s friends and the rest of the community that is associated with the FC St. Pauli Rugby team during this difficult time.
