In Memory of Werner Zehnder
1949-2025

Werner Zehnder passed away peacefully at home on September 5.

His passing leaves a hole in our hearts and our community. Werner gave of his time, energy, and resources to create environments where people could get together and enjoy socializing and engaging in physical and mental activity. In doing so, he contributed to the health and well-being of the many pickleball enthusiasts who live in and visit the area. He was a great friend and a visionary leader with charm, charisma, and a terrific sense of humor. He leaves behind a wonderful legacy with his many contributions to Bend Pickleball Club and the community. His spirit will remain with us as we enjoy the fruits of his efforts. Rest in peace, Werner.

We will keep you apprised of any plans for services.

Kirk Foster, President
Bend Pickleball Club

Werner was one of the 1st people we met when we moved to Bend in 2020. He encouraged us to become members and that we would love the PBZ community. So we did! We shared the love of Pickleball, Palm Desert and Sushi! We would often run into him and his wife and visit with them. When I went thru shoulder surgery he would send me encouraging messages as he knew I was sad and missed everyone! He was ALWAYS playful & light hearted. He will be missed greatly.
